WALL MOUNTING INSTALLATION
Important:
Mounting hardware required will vary depending on the surface
of the wall the Clothesline will be mounted to.
When mounting to concrete, brick or masonry walls we recommend
Daytek 8mm Marine Grade Anchor Bolts (Sold separately).
For wood or other specialised materials please consult your local
hardware store or professional for advice.
Never attach clothesline to mortar between brickwork. Ensure fixing
surface is structurally sound. Install away from Heating or Cooling Units.

3. STRINGING YOUR CLOTHESLINE

the clothesline with the cord,
beginning at the inner line
tensioner. To do this insert the
line through the tensioner and
press into the outer groove as
shown. (See Fig. 3A – 3D)
3.2 Attach Line Locking Cap and
tighten to secure the line end.
Use provided spanner if necessary.
Do not over tighten!
(See Fig. 3E – 3F)
3.3 Proceed to string the clothesline
by locking the cord behind the
line brackets at either side of the
clothesline. Use the diagrams
on next page as a guide.
(See Fig. 3G & 3H)
3.4 Finish by inserting the line
through the outer line clamp,
pulling tight (hand tension only)
and secure with the Line locking
Cap. Be sure to work all of the slack
line towards the end.

OPERATING YOUR FOLD DOWN CLOTHESLINE
TO RAISE
Grip the center of the Front Bar with one or two hands
as shown below. Gently raise the bar to the maximum
point of travel, push inwards with even force until it
hits a hard stop and then release.
The clothesline will be locked into the upright position.
TO LOWER
Grip the centre of the Front Bar and gently lift the
clothesline upwards to the maximum point of travel.
Pull outwards to unlock the bracket and lower.
Note: Raising the frame without gripping the
center may result in only one arm locking
correctly. If this occurs, raise the affected arm
to max height and press inwards until it hits a
hard stop and release.
IMPORTANT! Maximum recommended loading of this clothesline is 1kg per meter of line.
Refer to your individual clothesline for specified line space.

Over time the cord may stretch causing the lines to
sag. To remove excessive slack from the line, start at
the rear line and work your way to the front line to
remove all the slack. Whilst holding the excess line,
release the cord from the tensioner and pull the slack
through before locking back into place.
Note: Do not over tension the line as this may bow the
side arms and affect the clotheslines operation.
Having some slack in your cord is not a bad thing
provided your items of washing are clear from
touching the ground.
If you are living within close proximity to a seaside
location, salt in the air will build up a thin layer on your
clothesline over time. To ensure longevity it is important
to regularly wipe down the surface of your clothesline
with a damp cloth.
Wipe away dust and dirt regularly to prevent build up
and ensure smooth operation.
Regularly check your clothesline for damage or wear
and tear. Any damaged part should be replaced or
repaired before using again. A full range of spares are
available through Daytek.
