Hills Handy Hints

One of the benefits of a Rotary Hoist is that 
it spins naturally in the breeze, allowing the 
sun to shine on all your clothes and speed 
up drying time. 

Raise your hoist for maximum drying 
efficiency and to ensure clearance for  
longer items.

The wind brake assists in the pegging 
and unpegging of clothes on windy days 
by resitricting the free rotation of the 
clothesline. It can be engaged by winding 
the ‘head’ of the hoist fully down.

Place smaller items of clothing on the lines 

nearest the centre and work your way 
outwards for larger items.

When hanging thick or bulky items, you may 
hang the item over more than one line.

When you do not expect to fill the capacity 
of your hoist, hang your clothes on the outer 
lines, this will allow your clothesline to spin 
more easily.

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.

Your Rotary Hoist can be easily folded and 
removed from the ground socket to give you 
extra garden space.

The hoist should be easy to remove from 
the ground, but if left for a period of many 
years it may become more difficult. It is 
recommended the hoist is lifted out of the 
ground at least every six months.
