CONNECTIONS
WATER
Be sure the rubber washer is inside the hose end. Attach the hoses to the
washer (red is HOT, blue is COLD). Tighten them firmly but don’t strip the plastic
threads on the washer connections. Be sure to use the correct hoses for HOT
and COLD. The hoses may look mechanically identical, but the hot hose is
marked with a RED stripe and can withstand higher temperatures and pressures.
DRAIN
The drain pipe should be firmly attached to the standpipe or the laundry tub or
sink where it drains. The pump has sufficient power to cause the pipe to move
around when the water is expelled. The pump can lift the drain water a maximum
of 96 inches (2.4 m), but there is no minimum height requirement. The vacuum
breaker in the drain line will prevent drainage by gravity or siphoning. The hose
can lay flat into a floor drain as long as the end of it is not submerged.
ELECTRICAL
The washer requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz., dedicated, 15-amp circuit.
