Replace the Washer Springs
WARNING
Ensure that all electrical power is shut off and disconnected before proceeding. The
Circuit Breaker box should be locked by personnel following this procedure. Serious
injury or death can result from electrocution if proper safety precautions are not observed.
WARNING
The washer is extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and blocking the washer, and
do not allow unnecessary personnel in the immediate area while it is being moved.
Serious injury or death may result if safety precautions are not observed.
CAUTION
The washer is a large, heavy piece of machinery being moved out of a confined space.
Before removal and installation, remove or protect any equipment that might be damaged
by the washer on its way in or out.
CAUTION
Replace the springs one at a time; that is, do not remove any more than one spring at
any given time. Removal of more than one spring may allow the washer drum to drop,
damaging components. If a spring has broken, replace the broken spring first before
replacing any others.
NOTE
The washer is equipped with four springs. Replace springs as a set only.
NOTE
The front and rear springs are set up differently.
