Assembly
Step 6 – Assemble the spreader bars
On the Double Folding Clothesline ensure the spreader bars match (Fig 11).
6.1 Dis-assemble the spreader handle from the spreader joiner using the hex key 4mm. Refer
Fig. 7.
6.2 Insert the spreader joiner into the spreader bar and then fasten with the spreader handle as
shown. Refer Fig. 8.
Once the joiner has been assembled to the first spreader, fasten one of the screws to
prevent the joiner slipping in further during the assembly of the second spreader.
You must ensure the correct orientation of the spreader bars, spreader joiner and
mount holes.
6.3 The spreader joiner is designed to be a tight fit within the spreader bar, so you may need to
gently ‘tap’ it in with a hammer. Ensure you protect the other end of the spreader bar with a
cloth, soft surface or the cardboard packaging to avoid damage.
6.4 Ensure the mount holes and fasteners align.
6.5 If you accidentally insert the spreader joiner too far you can ‘lever’ it out using a
screwdriver. Refer Fig. 9.
