WALL MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS

For a standard installation holes should be drilled 1210mm apart. Please see below for how to shorten a Fold Down. Mark the top fixing screw approximately 50mm above user’s head height (if known). For general installation where user’s height is unknown, mark the top fixing screw between 1800-18SOmm above finished ground level• Ensure Template is vertically plumb. Please check dimensions I placing over a bench top, cup boards or tough to ensure sufficient space is allowed for line to close. To shorten a Fold Down Clothesline: Mark both sets of fixing points within the available space. Keep SO mm (ml n.) in from the end of any masonry wall. Measure the distance between the left and right fixing points. Deduct this amount from the standard fixing points given on the previous page for your do thes line model. This is the amount which will need to be cut off the Front Bar. For example: If you are installing a 1200mm long Fold Down and your fixing points are900mm apart, you will need to reduce the overall length of the Front Bar by 300mm. For the Joiner to remain in thecentre of the Front Bar, an equal amount (in this instance 1 SO mm) should be cut off the end of each front Spacer Bar. Do not cut the Joiner Bar. Insert cut Spacer Bars into each end of Joiner Bar to form the new length Front Bar.

Drill holes using a hammer drill or variable speed drill with an 8mm drill bit Insert wall plugs lush with surface if fixing to a masonry wall.

Fit the Front Bar to the fixed Left Side Arm (after attaching to wall) and to the preassembled Right Side Arm Due to the shorter length of this line it is easier to insert the assembled Front Bar prior to fixing the second Side Arm to the wall.
Fix the pre-assembled Right Side Arm to wall using the remaining 2x screws.
Lock the frame into the upright position by inserting the 6mm Brace ends into the larger holes in the Side Arms. Slide the Line Tension Lock towards the front corner so its its over the first hole (refer to centre diagram).

After threading the last hole, cut the Cord leaving a 10.1Son tail. Wrap the Cord over the top of the Side Annand tie the Cord off with several knots. Push the cut Cord end through the Cord Tidy and cut excess off (refer to diagram3). DO NOT tie the Cord around the Side Arm as this will prevent Side Arm from down into Wall Bracket
Starting from the back line, pull on each line one at a time taking up the slack until the front line is reached. Raise the Lever on the Line Tension Lock and pull the slack through the hole, by pulling on the cut end until Cord is taut. Lock the Lever down into position. Repeat if necessary.
