Step 1
Select a Suitable Location
1.1 Selectasuitableareaforinstallation.
1.2 Allow a minimum of (1'7") clearance
around your Rotary Hoist (Fig. 1).
Step 2
Install the Ground Socket
2.1 Digahole250mm(10")diameterby
approximately650mm(26")deep(Fig. 2).
2.2 Placeapproximately200mm(8")
ofcoarsegravelintothehole.
2.3 Insert the main standard into the ground
socket. Engage the locking collar and lock
into position.
Make surethetabsareclosedtoprevent
concrete entering the locking recess.
2.4 Place the ground socket and main
standard into the hole.
Push the base of the ground socket into
thegravel.
  Checklevelvertically.
The top of the ground socket must sit
approximately6-12mm(1/4"-1/2")above
groundlevel.
2.5 Supportthemainstandardandconcrete
into position.
Concrete should be damp enough
to ‘hold together’ when squeezed
in your hand.
  Settleconcretebypushingathinstickinto
themixseveraltimes.
Leave the main standard in the
ground socket until the concrete
has set.
Keep concrete out of the locking
recess in the ground socket.
2.6 Allow24hoursfortheconcretetoset

3.3 To engage, raise the head assembly
byapproximately100mm(4")and
lower until a ‘click’ is heard.
3.4 Check the head assembly is locked in
position by lifting upwards (it should
notmove).Iftheheadassemblyisnot
engaged,repeatStep3.3.
Note: there is a small amount of

Line Tensioning
Step 5
Tensioning the Lines
Thelinesarepre-tensionedinthefactory.
No initial tensioning is required.
Ifovertime,thelinedoesneedtensioning,
the Rotary Hoist must be in the open
position.
With the Rotary Hoist open, follow the
tensioning instructions below.
5.1 To begin tensioning: Although all the
arms look the same, only one is the
tensioning arm. This is the arm directly
left of the latch. It is highlighted by an
arrow pointing to it on the bottom of
the lower cross (Fig. 7).
Note:Avideodescribingthis

Handy Hints
Hills Handy Hints
One of the benefits of a Rotary Hoist is that
it spins naturally in the breeze, allowing the
sun to shine on all your clothes and speed
up drying time.
Raiseyourhoistformaximumdrying
efficiency and to ensure clearance for
longer items.
The wind brake assists in the pegging and
unpegging of clothes on windy days by
restricting the free rotation of the clothesline.
It can be engaging by winding the ‘head’ of
the hoist fully down.
Place smaller items of clothing on the lines
nearest the centre and work your way
outwards for larger items.
When hanging thick or bulky items, you may
hangtheitemovermorethanoneline.
Whenyoudonotexpecttollthecapacity
of your hoist, hang your clothes on the outer
lines, this will allow your clothesline to spin
more easily.
Care and Maintenance
It is a good idea to occasionally inspect all
components and check for wear and tear
or damage. If there is any damage, parts
should be replaced with original Hills spares
or the Hoist repaired before using again.
The hoist should be periodically wiped clean
with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
To maintain appearance and durability
of coating on metal components, we
recommend a twice yearly application of a
reputablebrandofcarpolishorwax.
Your Rotary Hoist can be easily folded and
removedfromthegroundsockettogiveyou
extragardenspace.
Thehoistshouldbeeasytoremovefrom
the ground, but if left for a period of many
years it may become more difficult. It is
recommended the hoist is lifted out of the
groundatleasteverysixmonths.
