Assembly instructions
Step 1:
Open packaging and check off contents
Do NOT open the arm assembly until they are mounted to the wall/ posts.
Assembly Parts:
A. 1 x Left Arm Assembly
B. 1 x Right Arm Assembly
C. 2 x Spreaders *
D. 1 x Small Joiner (up to 2400 width clotheslines only) **
E. 1x Large Joiner (over 2400 width clotheslines only)
F. 4 x Wall Plugs
G. 1 x Cord Bundle
*Clotheslines 1200 width and under have 1 spreader only
**Clotheslines 1200 width and under do not require joiners
Tools required:
- Masonry Drill - 10mm bit
- 13mm spanner
- Tape measure
- Marker
- Spirit level
- Cord cutters
Air Dry Clotheslines are designed to be installed onto masonry walls only. Not to be installed onto weatherboard walls, cladding or timber walls. Not recommended for installation onto fencing. Ground Mount Kits are available as an alternative for these types of installations.
Soft surface recommended for assembly to avoid scratches.
Custom width modifications can be made by cutting the required amount equally from each end of the spreader to achieve the desired width.
Step 1: Layout
To determine the clothesline height, add 100-150mm to the height of the user.
Formula to find the bracket hole centres- using the overall width of the clothesline ordered, subtract 180mm and this will give you the distance between the wall bracket hole centres. (For example, for a 2400 clothesline the holes should be 2220mm apart.)
Use the tape measure and mark the location for the first wall bracket hole. From this mark, using the hole centre measurement, measure across the wall and mark the wall for the second wall bracket.
Make sure to leave a 100mm clearance on the outside of the wall brackets.
Do not drill holes into mortar.
Step 2:
Using a 10mm masonry drill bit, drill approximately 50mm into the wall at both marks
Step 3: Assembly
Push the orange wall plug through the top hole of the first wall bracket. Make sure the wall side sticker is facing the wall. Strut spring must always face the wall when not engaged. Approximately 40mm will be visible out the rear of the bracket. Place this into the first drill hole on the wall. Tighten using the 13mm spanner.
Note: Do not insert the wall plug directly into the wall. It must go through the bracket first.
Step 4:
Using the spirit level, make sure the bracket is vertically level and adjust if necessary.
Once level, insert the 10mm masonry drill bit through the wall bracket’s bottom hole and drill into the wall approximately 50mm. Push the orange wall plug through the bottom hole as before and secure with the washer and screw. Repeat these steps to attach the remaining arm assembly to the wall.
Step 5: Assembling the front bar
Place the spreaders on the ground. Insert the 2 spreaders into each end of the joiner to make one long bar. Place each end of the bar into the ends of the arms.
Step 6:Lifting and lowering the frame
Lifting: Lift the front bar evenly from the centre slightly past
horizontal until you hear both struts click and engage. Gently release the
front bar.
Lowering: To disengage the struts and lower the frame, lift the bar
evenly from the centre until both struts click and lower the frame.
Please note , if the front bar is lifted in an uneven manner, both struts will not engage. If this happens, reset by disengaging the strut and lower the frame. Start the process again, making sure to place your hands directly in the centre and lifting evenly.
Warning: Do not continue to lift the bar past the engaging point (struts clicking) as this will break the strut mechanism and a new strut will be needed at the cost of the consumer.
Step 7: Wiring
Parts Required:
- 1 x bundles of cord
- Scissors or wire cutters (not supplied)
Unravel the bundle of cord.
Take one end of the cord and thread the cord up through the first hole at the front of the arm. You may start from either side. Leave 300mm at the start for tying off on completion.
**** Bring the cord across to the opposite arm and thread it down the corresponding hole. Thread it back up the second hole next to it and bring the cord across to the opposite arm and down the second hole. See figure 7a. Repeat this process until all holes have been occupied leaving 300mm at the end for tying off on completion.
Once all holes have been threaded, bring each end of the cord around from the bottom of the frame, around to the outside of the frame. Place the cord under the previous line of cord and bring back to the outside of the frame to create an anchor tie off point. See figure 7b.
**** Starting from the front of the clothesline, place your hands in the centre of the first cord and pull downwards to remove slack out of the line.
Repeat this process on every line of cord. When you have tightened the last cord, release the end anchor tie off point and re-tighten.
Repeat this process for further tensioning. Once you are happy with the tension of the cord, complete both anchor tie off points with 2 x half hitch knots.
Cut off the remaining cord using wire cutter/ scissors, leaving 100mm to be tucked into the inner arm hole. See figure 7c.
