Portuguese term

Pés na máxima

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Washing Machine Manufacturer
This is a service-specific manual for a washing machine.
I posted this same question last night but for some reason, was not able to locate it this morning.

So here it is again:

The sentence states:
"Altura com a tampa fechada (pés na máxima)"
What is "pés na máxima" in this context?
What is the equivalent in the English Language?

Thank you in advance.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@Beta que bom que resolveu!

Pés na máxima Olá, Paulinho,
Imediatamente após ter enviado a pergunta, me dei conta: trata dos pés da máquina na posição máxima em relação à altura quando a tampa está aberta/fechada. Mas eu precisava ter certeza! Obrigada pela resposta (passei um tempo imaginando que pudesse estar se referindo à pés cúbicos). Em se tratando de manuais de operação, é sempre bom averiguar para ter certeza. Obrigada mais uma vez!

Olá, acredito que seja 'pés da máquina (com ajsute) na altura máxima'.

Number of feet at the maximum height

I guess that's what it means.

Número de pés na altura máxima. Dependendo da situação, convém traduzir para o sistema métrico. Exemplo: Número de centímetros / metros...

(lews fully extended)

Even with the dryer legs fully extended it's still about 2 inches short.
This pan is for use under front-loading washing machines, its low-profile design allows for clearance when opening pedestal drawers (legs fully extended).
Note from asker:
Thank you for your help!
