Installation Instructions

Install Pedestal

Follow these instructions to install the pedestal on the washer or dryer.

7.To install the brackets, slide the open-ended portion of the bracket over one of the feet of the washer or dryer. Center the two prongs of the bracket on top of the foot. Repeat this step with the other three brackets and feet. Use one bracket on each of the four feet to properly secure the washer or dryer to the pedestal.

1.To install the washer or dryer onto the pedestal, first thread a locknut onto each foot. Screw each locknut down to the rubber base of the foot.

2.When all 4 locknuts are in place on the feet, screw a foot into each corner brace of the pedestal. Adjust the feet so that the rubber pads extend just below the bottom of the pedestal and keep the pedestal at least ¹⁄8" (3.175 mm) off the floor.

NOTE: For more stability, do not raise the bottom of the pedestal any higher than necessary to clear the floor on all four sides.

8.Slide the brackets directly against the side of the pedestal.

9.Insert the carriage bolt through the slot in the mounting bracket and the pedestal. Repeat this step for the other brackets. Attach the self-locking nut on all carriage bolts. Use a 7⁄16" (11 mm) open end wrench to completely tighten the self-locking nuts.

3.Set the pedestal in its final location.

4.Place a level on the pedestal to ensure that it is level from front to back and side to side. If necessary, adjust the feet up or down to level the pedestal.

5.Once it is level, use a 9⁄16" (14 mm) open end wrench

to thread each locknut to the bottom of each corner brace. Tighten until locked into place.

6.Place the washer or dryer on the pedestal as shown. The front and side edges should line up.

10.With the washer or dryer locked securely into place

on the pedestal, slide the washer or dryer and pedestal to their final location.

11.Place a level on top of the washer or dryer and ensure that it is level from front to back and side to side. If it is necessary to adjust the washer or dryer feet to level it

on the pedestal, the brackets may need to be temporarily loosened.

To adjust the washer or dryer feet:

νReach inside the pedestal and use a 7⁄16" (11 mm) open end wrench to loosen the locknut.

νAdjust the washer or dryer feet up or down. Be sure to completely tighten the brackets and locknuts again after the washer or dryer is level.

12.Follow the Installation Instructions that came with your model to finish installing or reinstalling your washer or dryer.
