braces to the cabinet at the front corners and the clip
that secures both of the braces to the gearcase

6 To remove the clip use pliers or a screwdriver to
bend or pry it off. With the clip and bolts removed,
the bracescan be slid out of the machinewithout
removing the bottom panel.
NOTE: The braces and gearcase clip should be
saved in case the machine ever has to be moved to a
different home.

braces were attached. The feet have lock nuts
assembled and should be installed with the foot pad
protruding down below the base about one inch.
Steel legs are used on this product because of the
increased spin speeds.

gearcase to work properly.
NOTE: Whenever the motor is running in either
direction, the connecting rack will be moving back

motor is turning, the shifter will put the machine into
or out of agitation.

56 To hold the connecting rack and the shifter in
position, a part called a rack retainer is fastened
down with a shoulder screw that also locates and
holds a part called the spin pawl. The pawl has the

recommended that the hoses be pinched off with
hose pliers, or the machine be drained using the

the drain hose.
