Hills Handy Hints
• Commence hanging the washing on the
inside line starting with the smallest garments
and work your way outwards.
• The wind brake assists in the pegging and
unpegging of clothes on a windy day by
restricting the free rotation of the Hoist. It can
be engaged by winding the Hoist fully down.
• To save excess walking, rotate the Hoist
by pulling one arm and the wind brake will
position in the next bay for loading.
• After hanging out your washing it is
recommended that the handle be wound up
at least six full turns to disengage the wind
brake.
• For faster drying elevate the Hoist fully to
collect any breeze. The rotating action of
the Hoist gives natural spin drying of your
washing.
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.

Should the Hoist squeak when rotating,
wind the Hoist up and apply (rub) a small

the secondary standard

(
