8. Connect drain hose form 11. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets A B Snap either end of the drain hose form to the drain hose at the point where the corrugation begins (A). Bend the drain hose to form and snap into place (B). 9. Place drain hose in standpipe Drain hose form 4.5" (113 mm) Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose for cold water faucet. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result. HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. In most standard configurations, hoses will cross over each other when attached correctly. 12. Clear water lines Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub. IMPORTANT: Only 41/2" (113 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used. CONNECT INLET HOSES Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings. 10. Connect washer into inlet hose Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water lines. Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet. A B Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses (A) with flat washers (B) (not provided). Do not use old hoses. NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valves. For optimal performance, hot and cold water must be supplied to the washer. 7
