Assemble the Ground Socket:
Position the two Wings on the PVC tube with
the 4 special formed bolts and wing-nuts to secure the Wings around the
tube, this makes up the Ground Socket Assembly. The top of the Wings
should be about 4 inches from the top of the tube.
CAUTION!!
Do not over
tighten the 1/4” wing-nuts as you will indent the tube making it impossible to
get your Sunshine Clothesline into the Ground Socket after assembly.
Installing the Ground Socket:
Auger or dig a hole in the ground 6” deeper than the length of the Ground
Socket. Place 6” of gravel or small stones in the bottom of the hole, this allows for proper drainage. Dig out
the top of the hole large enough to accommodate the Wings of the Ground Socket as shown in the sketch to
the right. After making sure the Ground socket is plumb and the top of it is
at ground level
, pack or tamp the
dirt back in the hole and around the Ground socket firmly. A black cap is provided to keep out the debris
when not using the SSCL. If you have any questions call us.
Assembling the Lower Center Post to the Upper Center Post
(Deluxe Versions only)
Do this by inserting the
Lower Center Post’s smaller diameter into the bottom end of the Upper Center Post, and aligning the holes
in each and then putting the Lock Pin through the hole, be sure to lock the pin with the safety keeper.
Install the Foot Clamp onto the Lower Center Post
and adjust it so a minimum of 8” of Center Post will be in
the Ground Socket, more length in the Ground Socket is okay, this adjustment raises and lowers the working
height of your SSCL.
Raising the Arms of your Sunshine Clothesline;
After the Ground Socket is installed into the ground, insert
the assembled SSCL into the Ground Socket. Rotate the SSCL until the Latch Bracket faces you. While raising
the Arms
always look for rope tangles which might interfere with fully raising.
Place your foot on the Foot
Clamp holding it to the ground, grasp two opposing Arms lift and spread them as high and wide as possible.
Grasp them again this time lower and raise them as high as easily possible. In order to be in good position to
raise the Arms completely, duck under several rows of rope. With the Lock Lever pointing up, raise the Arms
until you can connect the Lever Bolt to the lowest slot in the Latch Bracket. Grasp the end of the Lever and
pull it down until the over center motion locks the Arms in place, again be sure the ropes are not tangled or
wrapped around the ends of the Arms.
Only the DELUXE models have a two piece Center Post.
