Reducing the Overall Width
If your available space doesn’t allow the full 2400mm width, you
can reduce the width of your Clothesline as follows:
- For this example, we are assuming your required overall
width is now 2000mm
- This is a reduction of 2400-2000mm = 400mm
- Cut half of this from each side of the 2 x cross bar segments
400 / 2 = 200mm each side

Line Cord Installation
1. Ensure the Line Tensioner is at the front of the right hand side arm.
2. Start threading the cord through the left side arm hole nearest the wall
bracket as shown in Figure 2. Tie off the end as shown in Detail C.
3. Progressively tighten each line, starting from the rear, working towards
the front. Don’t over-tighten or you will distort the side arms.
