(A) Installation Instructions
1.
SITE
(a)
Select a suitable site that allows a minimum of 500mm clearance
from the end of each arm. This will allow clothes to move freely
without obstruction.
(b)
Dig a hole 600mm deep and 250mm in diameter. Place gravel or
stones in the base until the Ground Socket is level with ground surface.
The gravel will allow proper drainage (Fig.1)
2.
HEIGHT SETTING
(a)
Please consider the height setting carefully if installing the Rotary on sloping ground.
(b)
Place the main column inside the Ground Socket and place on a level surface alongside the user to determine the
correct height setting. Measure the distance between the top of the user’s head and black reducer (collar) on the top
of the Main Column. Using this measurement, measure up from the bottom of the Ground Socket on the side where
the 5 pin holes are located. Punch the Galvanized Pin through the closest hole. The Pin will fix the correct height and
will act as the locking mechanism for the Main Column. Remember the Main Column will wind up another 22cm from
closed position.
(c)
Place the Main Column inside the Ground Socket. Place the Pre-Corded Head Section into the top of the Column,
allowing the Cross (which holds the 4 arms in place) to slide down over the Main Column as far as possible. Slowly
rotate the Head Section to allow the internal Pin to drop into the locking position. Remove the Line Retainer (do not
discard) and any wrapping. Carefully open the arms and check lines are not caught or twisted (Fig.2).
If all lines are hanging correctly, push arms upwards until the Cross and black Bush (on the top section) meet. Lock
into position by pushing the two sections towards each other until the Clip is locked down into position (Fig. 3). N.B.
If the Latch does not lock into position, re-check all lines to ensure they are not wrapped around the end of an arm.
Free the line if necessary and then lock into position. Fit Caps to the end of tubular steel Stays and Arms.
