6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the locknut).	16
1. After determining which washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.	16
2. Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.	16
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tight against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.	16
