6. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
NOTE: On some models, during factory testing, the timer is
advanced partially into the cycle causing the start button to be
depressed. Allow timer to advance to the end of the cycle.
When the cycle is complete, the timer will reset and the start
button will return to the start position. If the timer is not allowed
to advance to the end of the first cycle and reset, the wash load
will not be completed.
Electromechanical Models
1. Check the wash cycle time. The washer has a 9-minute wash
in the Normal Cycle. Remove the timer from the meter case of
the washer to manually start the timer. Start the washer and
allow it to complete the Normal cycle. Timers can be started
by turning the clutch assembly counterclockwise until the
washer starts to fill with water.
2. If the washer fails to start or does not give the proper washer
cycle time, the clutch assembly of the timer can be adjusted.
3. Remove the timer from the meter case. Adjust the clutch
assembly screw clockwise if the washer does not start after
the coin slide mechanism has been fully actuated in or out.
Adjust the clutch assembly counterclockwise if the washer
segment of the Normal cycle was less than 9 minutes.
1. Tilt washer forward raising back legs 1" (2.5 cm) off of floor, to
adjust rear self-leveling legs. Gently lower washer to floor.
2. Check levelness of the washer by placing a carpenter’s level
on top of the washer, first side to side; then front to back.
3. If washer is not level, adjust the front legs up or down. Make
final check with level.
4. When washer is level, use a wrench to turn the nuts on front
legs up tightly against the washer base. If nuts are not tight
against washer base, the washer may vibrate.

Complete Installation
1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the
correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding
method.
2. Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an
extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was
skipped.
3. Turn on water faucets and check for leaks. Tighten couplings
if there is leaking. Do not overtighten; this could cause
damage to faucets.
4. Check to be sure you have all of your tools.
5. Check that the shipping strap was removed from the back of
the washer and used to secure the drain hose. If entire strap
is not removed, washer may vibrate and be noisy.
