Reducing the Overall Width
If your available space doesn’t allow the full 2200mm width, you
can reduce the width of your Clothesline as follows:
- For this example, we are assuming your required overall
width is now 1800mm
- This is a reduction of 2200-1800mm = 400mm
- Cut half of this from each side of the 2 x cross bar segments
400 / 2 = 200mm each side

the post, use the other end of the corner bracket, the two ends are
different sizes. NOTE: Don’t attach the Front Bar yet.

coach bolts provided. Fit the free end of the telescopic struts to the

10. Assemble the front bar as shown in Detail B. Push the left and right
bars fully into the centre bar until they hit the small indent in the middle
of the centre bar.

into the corner brackets as shown in Figure 1. Use 30mm Hex nut and
bolt to secure.

Line Cord Installation
1. Ensure the Line Tensioner is at the front of the right hand side arm.

bracket as shown in Figure 2. Tie off the end as shown in Detail C.
3. Progressively tighten each line, starting from the rear, working towards
the front. Don’t over-tighten or you will distort the side arms.
