Before you begin the installation of your new Hills Mini Folding Clothesline, carefully read through the included hills folding clothesline instructions.

For the best results, lay out all the parts and cross-check them against the product list to ensure everything is in place for the clothesline installation.

1.1 Select a Suitable Location

Select either an indoor or outdoor location preferably where the sun light will reach to ensure faster drying of wet clothes .

Ensure there is sufficient clearance and space around the new mini hills folding frame clothesline.

Hills clotheslines recommend leaving a space of 500mm on the long sides and 750mm from the front (Figure1).

1.2 Marking the Hole Centres

Mark the hole centres. Using the brackets as templates, mark the hole centres.

The hole centres should be exactly 2353mm apart and Hills recommend the lower hole centres are in line with the users head height.

Use a spirit level to ensure the hole centres are level vertically and horizontally (Figure 2).

1.3 Adhere the Hills Folding Frame Clothesline Wall Brackets.

If you are mounting to masonry, brick or concrete, drill 10mm holes at the marked points and secure into position using the M8 × 70

Masonry Bolts supplied with the folding frame clothesline (Figure 3).

If using alternative fixings, secure and adjust the brackets in an appropriate manor for your substrate.

Follow the below steps to tie off (Figure 7).

Align the line tie off with the hole in the hills clothesline arm, and pull the line straight through the frame and line tie off.

Pull the line tight and down, then wedge it right to secure it into the gap at the base of the line tie off.

Thread the line back and forth through the holes on the inner of the line tie off, so it finishes back on the inside of the arm.

Wedge it again, this time into the opposite side gap at the base of the line tie off, and snip off the excess.

Do not cut, until you are happy the line is secure.
