!
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death, disconnect power to unit before servicing, unless testing
requires power.
Drive Lug Adjustment
1. Disconnect power supply to unit.
2. Turn the drive pulley onto the shaft clockwise until all
play is taken up.
3. Holding the pulley in this position, the distance
between drive and pulley lugs should be 3/8”.
4. Turn pulley counterclockwise and check to see that
the drive lug and pulley are making contact.
Note: There should always be clearance between the
bottom of the pulley and the top of the stop lug to
prevent the drive pulley from dragging on the drive
lug, forcing it off the shaft.
Lug
3/8”
Lug
1/4”
Pump Belt Adjustment
1. Disconnect power supply to unit.
2. Pull motor forward so drive belt is tight.
3. With washer in an upright position, grasp the pump
belt in the middle and flex. With the belt flexed, it
should be tightened so that there is approximately 1/
4” between the inside surfaces of the pump belt before
movement of the motor is felt.
4. If necessary, tilt washer and loosen screws holding
pump to base frame and position pump to attain the
proper 1/4” dimension.
Damper Pad Noise
Dry or poorly lubricated damper pads can result in a rubbing noise during the beginning and end of the spin cycle. If
this condition is encountered, the damper pads should be lubricated or replaced. See “Damper Assembly” in
Disassembly Procedures Section of this manual.
