INSTALLATION OF THE WASHER-EXTRACTOR WITHOUT

PEDESTAL BASE

Anchoring MYR models (Rigid Machines)

A static engineer must be consulted to evaluate the static

requirements with respect to permissible loads, vibrations, and

noise level in the building where the washer is installed.

The manufacturer does not recommend installing the washer in a

room with a cellar underneath or on a oor with rooms underneath.

The washer must be leveled from side to side, as well as from front

to rear. If the washer is not properly leveled, it may become out of

balance even though the drum remains balanced.

Rigid washers must be anchored to the oor. Correct construction

of the anchorage to the oor is essential to ensure correct

operation of the appliance and to prevent serious damage to its

structure.

Rigid washers must not be installed on non-foundation oors

without authorization from a technician familiar with the structure

and weight-bearing capacity of the building.

Check the weight of the washer and its contents, plus the dynamic

forces generated during spinning. The manufacturer does not

accept responsibility for any damage due to vibration in this type of

installation.

Anchoring MYS models (Soft Machines)

Shipping brackets need to be uninstalled from the soft washers

prior to operation. Remove the toe panel, front panel, and rear

cover to access the shipping bracket. The shipping brackets are

painted white for ease of identication.

Leveling feet are provided with soft machines. Use the feet to

level the machine in it's nal operating location. Anchoring is not

required but four 12 mm holes are provided if anchoring is desired.

There is a whisker switch behind the toe panel, located below the

tub and to the left of the drain. This switch is set at the factory,

but in the event that it falls out of adjustment, with the shipping

brackets installed, this switch should be set so the whisker is

centered in the opening.

WARNING

Crush Hazard

Washer can tip over if not properly installed on

platform or pedestal.

Washer must be bolted to the floor per installation

instructions.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or serious injury.
