Unpacking and Removing
Shipping Bolts
1
Lift the washing machine off the foam base.
• After removing the carton and shipping material,
lift the washing machine off the foam base. Make
sure the tub support comes off with the base
and is not stuck to the bottom of the washing
machine.
• If you must lay the washing machine down to
remove the carton base, always protect the side
of the washing machine and lay it carefully on
its side. DO NOT lay the washing machine on its
front or back.

the bolt assemblies by wiggling them slightly
while pulling them out.

NOTE
• Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To
prevent damage to internal components, DO NOT
transport the washing machine without reinstalling
the shipping bolts.
• Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers
may cause severe vibration and noise, which
can lead to permanent damage to the washing
machine. The cord is secured to the back of the
washing machine with a shipping bolt to help
prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.
