Installation Before You Start Installing the Washer Tools Step 1: Remove the Shipping Brace and Shipping Plug For most installations, the basic tools you will need are: 1 Remove the shipping brace from under the lid. The shipping plug will be released from the base of the washer when removing the cardboard base from the washer. Refer to Figure 2. 2 3 The shipping brace and plug should be saved and must be reinstalled whenever washer is moved or transported to a new location.
Installation Step 2: Wipe Out Inside of Washtub Water Supply Requirements Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner or a detergent and water solution and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of washtub. Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS. NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when washer is not being used.
Installation Connecting Hoses Insert rubber washers and filter screens (from accessories bag) in water fill hose couplings (two hoses supplied with washer). Connect fill hoses to water supply faucets. Then connect the hoses to the hot and cold valve connections at the rear of the washer. Refer to Figure 4. Thread hose couplings onto valve connections finger tight. Then turn 1/4 turn with pliers. IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or overtighten couplings.
Installation Step 4: Connect Drain Hose to Drain Receptacle If necessary, follow the instructions for your type of drain receptacle (high standpipe or low standpipe) to properly install the drain hose. Drain Facilities High Standpipe Installation IMPORTANT: The drain hose installation is a very important factor in the washer installation. If care is not taken when the drain hose is installed, a siphoning action can be started which will cause water to be siphoned from the washer during the cycle.
Installation Low Standpipe Installation If the drain facility is lower than the cabinet top, a siphon break kit, Part No. 562P3, must be installed in the drain hose to prevent siphoning action and drain hose MUST be cut to fit the washer installation. Refer to Figure 8. Use one No. 25863 Hose Coupling to splice hose. The No. 562P3 Siphon Break Kit and No. 25863 Hose Coupling are available as optional equipment at extra cost through an authorized dealer or parts distributor.
Installation Step 6: Plug In the Washer Electrical Requirements (120 Volt, 60 Hertz with 3-Prong Grounding Plug) 2 3 1 NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the control hood. 120±12 V.A.C. 0 V.A.C. WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, all wiring and grounding MUST conform with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, and such local regulations as might apply.
Installation Grounding Instructions The washer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a three-prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Installation Vending Meter Case The factory mounted coin meter case does not include the service door lock, coin slide, coin drawer, coin drawer lock or keys.

Models Prepped for Card Reader The machine is shipped from the factory with the Electronic Control Diagnostic Harness Assembly unplugged.
Installation Additional Washer Security (Coin Models Only) Located on the service door of the washer is a flat Phillips head screw. During shipment, this screw is used to attach the service door to the meter case. For additional security, this screw can be reinstalled inside the control hood of your washer. Refer to instructions below for installation. Tamper-resistant screws also can be installed for additional security.
