Hills do not recommend that you bolt the hoist to concrete.  The hoist is designed to be installed in concrete in the ground as per the owners manual.  By installing it direct onto concrete (even using a bolted base of some sort), with clothes on the line in a very windy situation could result in the hoist being wrenched from its "base".   Any installation adaptation other than that recommended in our manual will void any warranty on the hoist.

Hills do not make covers for our clotheslines.  There are some technical constraints that may lead to the potential for damage or injury if the device was caught in strong gusts of wind.

If a canopy is used on a Hills clothesline it would void our warranty as per the owners manual instruction.

Prior to inserting into ground socket & in wound down position is 2710mm.

Height of the unit when opened an in wound down position prior to inserting into ground socket is 2510mm.

Height from the ground level when opened and in wound down position can vary from 2070mm to 2220mm depending upon the number of spacers used in the ground socket.

Ground socket is 440mm long.

Spacer is 50mm long - up to 3 can be used.

The Retracting lines will inevitably sag slightly as the lines are strung between two points. The clothes however, should not be touching the ground at all.

Please check that the line is extended a minimum of 4 metres and a maximum of 6.5m. If it is outside these lengths the line will not tension or lock and so bad sagging will occur.

Please also check that when hanging large items such as sheets that they are doubled over lines. If you are hanging out a load of washing, spread the heavy items to the edge of the line and not towards the middle. This will provide tension for the centre of the line where sag is most apparent.  If you have checked these points off and the lines are still sagging to the point at which the clothes are touching the ground, please contact consumer advice on 1300 300 564 and speak to one of our consultants further about this issue.
