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.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (Continued)
2. MOUNT THE WALL BRACKETS
2.1 Use a Wall Bracket as a guide to mark the
fixing hole positions for one side of the
clothesline. (See Figure 2A)
Make sure to align the top hole of the Wall
Bracket with your height marker. Ensure that
the holes are vertically level. (See Figure 2B)
2.2 Drill the marked hole positions to suit your
wall fasteners.
If you are using an anchor bolt, tap the bolt
into the holes as per the manufacturer’s
instructions. Alternatively, if you are using an
anchor screw, insert the screw slightly into
the hole to complete step 2.3.
2.3 To mark the second wall bracket location,
slide one end of the Wall Attachment
Template over the top fixing (See Figure 2C),
pull tight and to the side (See Figure 2D) and
mark the wall bracket centre distance
(See Figure 2E).
Ensure that the template is level and taught before
marking the location.
Note: we always recommend to confirm the correct
hole position with a tape measure and spirit level
before drilling. Confirm measurement against
Figure 1.
2.4 Mark both fixing hole positions for the
second side of the clothesline using the
Wall Bracket as a template (See Figure 2F).
Drill the marked holes to suit your fixings.
2.5 Secure both Wall Brackets firmly to
the wall. (See Figure 2G).
IMPORTANT! Ensure the head of the wall
fixings do not protrude more than 13mm.

3. ATTACH SIDE ARMS AND STRUTS
3.1 Press 4 x Wall Bracket Bushes into each
Side Arm & Strut Assembly (See Figure 3A)
3.2 Fasten a Side Arm & Strut Assembly to
each Wall Bracket using the supplied Nuts
& Bolts (13mm) (See Figures 3B–3D)
NOTE: Do not overtighten the nuts. The Side Arm
& Strut must be free to pivot. If the assembly
is overtightened your clothesline may not
operate correctly.
4. INSTALL FRONT BAR
4.1 Attach the Corner Brackets to the
Front Bar and secure with nuts & bolts
(10mm) (See Figure 4A–4C).
4.2 Lock each side arm into the upright
position. To do this gently lift each Side
Arm upwards to the maximum point of travel
and then release. (refer to lifting and folding
diagrams)

5. THREAD CLOTHESLINE AND TENSION
5.1 Thread the cord through the inner most hole
(closest to wall) and tie off with a knot
(see Figure 5A).
5.2 Continue threading the cord from the inner
most hole up to the last hole position
(see Figure 5B).
5.3 Thread the end of the cord through the
Line Tensioner (see Figure 5C).
5.4 Progressively pull each line tight working the
slack from the rear line to the front line.
5.5 Pull the cord tight through the tensioner and
lock into place (see Figure 5C).
5.6 Trim off excess cord with scissors.
Note: Do not over-tension the cord as this can put
excessive pressure on the side arms and could affect
the smooth operation of your clothesline. Having
some slack in cord is ok provided your items of
washing are clear from touching the ground.

OPERATING THE CLOTHESLINE
TO RAISE
Grip the centre of the Front Bar with one or two
hands as shown below.
Gently raise the bar to the maximum point of travel
and then release. The clothesline will lock into the
upright position. Note: Do not force the frame higher
than its maximum point of travel.
TO LOWER
Grip the centre of the Front Bar and gently lift the
clothesline upwards to the maximum point of travel.
This will unlock the strut mechanism allowing it to
fold down flat.
Note: Raising the frame without gripping the
centre may result in only one strut locking. If
this occurs, raise the frame on the unlocked
side only and then gently release. The arm
should now be locked into place (Due to the
design of our Easy Lock strut there is no
clicking or audible sound when the lock is
engaged, it will simply engage/disengage after
being lifted to the maximum point).
IMPORTANT! Maximum recommended loading of this clothesline is 1kg per meter of line.
Refer to your individual clothesline for specified line space.

CORD TENSIONING CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 from the telescopic strut
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.
