How do I install the Hills Everyday Rotary Clothesline?

To install the Hills Everyday Rotary Clothesline, follow these steps:

Step 1: Select a suitable location

• Choose an area with a minimum clearance of 500mm (1'7") around the Rotary Hoist.
• Ensure there is enough space for the clothesline to rotate freely.

Step 2: Install the Ground Socket

• Dig a hole 250mm (10") in diameter and approximately 650mm (26") deep.
• Place coarse gravel (about 200mm or 8") into the hole.
• Insert the main standard into the ground socket, making sure the tabs are closed to prevent concrete from entering the locking recess.
• Push the base of the ground socket into the gravel, ensuring it is level vertically.
• Support the main standard and concrete it into position.
• Allow 24 hours for the concrete to set before final assembly and use.

Step 3: Assemble the Hoist

• Place the main standard in the ground socket.
• Insert the bottom of the head assembly into the top of the main standard and lower it gently until it stops.
• Raise the head assembly by approximately 100mm (4") and lower until a 'click' is heard to engage it.
• Check that the head assembly is locked in position by lifting upwards.

Step 4: Operating the Hoist

• To adjust the height of the Rotary Hoist, wind the handle and head assembly down and fit one or more plastic spacers in the ground socket.
• To open, undo the line tie-off cord and push the lower cross and arms up until the latch engages.
• To fold, press the latch to release the lower cross and pull the arms downwards.
• Wrap and fasten the line tie-off cord around the hoist to prevent lines from tangling.
• To remove from the ground socket, unlock the locking collar by rotating it anti-clockwise, lift the Rotary Hoist, and store it in a suitable place.
