INSTALLATION OF NON-SKiD PADS
Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the washer
from moving on the floor during heavily unbalanced loads.
While it is normal for an occasional load to be out of
ba]an_, excess noise and vibration can result from the
washer moving out of position. Ifthese conditions are
encountered, follow the instructions below for installation of
the non-skid pads. These pads will help prevent the washer
from moving during heavy out of balance conditions thereby
reducing noise and vibration.
