PREPARING THE SITE FOR YOUR ROTARY CLOTHESLINE
Preparing the ground socket
1. Make sure the selected installation position has a
minimum of 3 meters clearance on all sides from the
central location.
2. Excavate a hole 250mm in diameter x 600mm deep.
3. Back fill the hole with screenings (small crushed
rock) to 450mm from ground level. This is necessary
to drain rain water that enters via the socket.
4. Position the the ground socket inside the hole so
that it sits centrally and vertically. The bottom end of
the ground socket will rest on the screenings while the
top of the ground socket should reach the ground level.
Adjust the depth of the screenings as needed.
5. To retain the ground socket in the central position,
backfill with screenings to 425mm from ground level.
Ensure no rocks are inside the socket.

the stakes at at angle approximatly
300mm into the ground.
7. Insert the main tube assembly
into the ground socket making
sure the pin is positioned into
one of the slots. Secure by

still vertical. Leave for 24 hours to set concrete
before assembling the hoist tube.
Securing the main tube assembly
8. Tie a length of rope from each stake to the main
tube assembly to secure it vertically. Check that
the tube is sitting vertically using a spirit level.
9. Prepare the pre-mix concrete and backfill the
hole with the concrete mix. Gently compact
the concrete.

Note: There is a safety clutch within the gear
box. When the clothesline is in maximum lowest
or highest position the handle will rotate freely
(clicking sound), which prevents damage to the
gear box.
3. To raise the hoist for ‘free spinning’ wind
drying, simply rotate the handle in a
clockwise direction to disengage the wind
break. (See Fig. 6 – 7)
To activate the wind brake, turn the
handle anti-clockwise until the two
serrated plastic faces meet. This will lock
the clothesline head and prevent the hoist
from freely spinning.(See Fig. 8 – 9)

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF YOUR ROTARY CLOTHESLINE
HELPFUL HINTS
IMPORTANT
The ideal height of the clothesline should be
approximately 50mm from the users head to
the underside of the horizontal arms.
To adjust the clothesline to higher position
simply remove the support ring from the
ground socket, lift the clothesline and rotate
to either slot 1, 2 or 3. Each position will
increase your clothesline height by 75mm.
With the slothesline at the required height
replace the support ring into the ground
socket to secure the clothesline.
• Engage the wind brake mechanism while hanging laundry. By pulling sideways on
the horizontal arms the clothesline will rotate to the next loading position.
• Hang washing starting from the inside line with small garments.
• Distribute the weight of the washing evenly on each line around the four quadrants
• After hanging the washing it is important to wind the line up off the wind brake for spin air drying.
• Located at the end of each horizontal arm is a clothes hanger loop.
Please ensure your clothesline is not used as a playing item by children swinging
on lines and main arms. Any damage from misuse will void the warranty.
