assembled side arms to the wall brackets. Please refer to Step

Assembly
Fix into place using the 2 x screws supplied.
If you are using the Mounting Plate Kit,
continue installation using the
instructions included in your Mounting
Plate Kit packaging.
1. In your chosen location, mark two holes on the ground
240cm apart (or your chosen width) for the posts.
4. Concrete the Mounting Posts into the holes, checking
the following before and during concreting:-
- Mounting Posts are vertical - check with a spirit level.
3. Place the assembled Ground Mount Kit into the holes
you’ve just dug. The cross bar should be 10cm above
the typical users height. The height of the cross bar can
be adjusted by cutting the Mounting Posts down in
height (only cut the end that goes in the ground).
- Cross bar is horizontal - check with a spirit level.
Installation
2. Dig the two holes to a depth of 40cm and ll with 5cm
of gravel to allow for drainage.
- Post spacing is 240cm between centres (or your
chosen width).
5. Clean any excess concrete from the posts with a damp
cloth. Allow the concrete to set for 24 hours before
attaching the Clothesline front bar and line cord.

2. For the Ground Mount Kit, refer to the Ground
Mount Kit instruction sheet.
6. Insert the Ground Mount posts into the
Mounting Plates you just installed and secure
with the self-drilling screws through the holes
in the Mounting Plate posts.
Use the chart below to see how much the posts
should be cut.
5. The Ground Mount posts will need to be cut
down in height when they are installed into the
Mounting Plates. The amount they are cut
down depends on the users height, we
recommend that the cross bar be at the user’s
height + 10cm.
Note if the ground is not level you will have to
adjust the post heights accordingly i.e. one post
will have to be longer or shorter than the other,
depending on the slope of the ground
