Installation

Important: x4 M8x70 Masonry Wall Bolts are supplied with this product for mounting to masonry, brick or concrete walls. f mounting to a different substrate such as wood or other specialized materials, please consult your local hardware store for advice on which fixings to use

1. Select a suitable location. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the clothesline We recommend 500mm on the sides and 750mm from the front (Figure 1).

The hole centres should be exactly 1353mm apart and we recommend the lower hole centres are in line with the users head height. Use a spirit level to ensure the hole centres are level vertically and horizontaly (Figure 2).

If using alternative fixings, secure the wall brackets in an appropriate manor for your substrate.
