4.2 To open: Undo the line tie-off cord.
(Refer to Step 6). Make sure the lines
are tangle free. Push the lower cross and
arms up until the latch engages.
To adjust the height of your Rotary Hoist,
wind the handle and head assembly
down and then fit one or more of the
plastic spacers in the ground socket.
The suggested operating height is the
user’s head height +25mm (1") (Fig. 4).
4.3 To fold: Press the latch to release the
lower cross. Place your hands on the
arms and pull downwards.
4.4 Wrap and fasten the line tie-off cord
around the hoist to prevent lines from
becoming tangled.
Note: The height adjusting winding
mechanism has an automatic device to
disengage the handle at the maximum
and minimum heights.
A slight ‘clicking’ noise will be heard
when this system is operating.

Line Tensioning
Line Tensioning
Step 5 – Tensioning the Lines
5.1 Insert the Rotary Hoist into the ground
socket, open up and lock into position
(Fig. 5).
5.2 If the whole clothesline needs to be
re-tensioned, start from the outside line
and work towards the centre.

3
Step 1
In either case, untie the PVC line from
the line tie off saddle on one side of
the arm only. Pull PVC line through one
clip at a time until line is taut. Re-tie
PVC line around tie off saddle. Trim off
any excess line if required. Push line
into the hole in the arm.
If over time, the line does need tensioning,
the Rotary Hoist must be in the open position.
1
Step 5 (continued)
If only a single line requires
re-tensioning, just re-tension
this particular line.
The lines are pre-tensioned in the factory.
No initial tensioning is required.

Line Tie-Off Cord
Step 6 – Line Tie-Off Cord
Handy Hints
Fig. 6a
IMPORTANT: The extended length of
clothesline fitted with a plastic toggle is called
the line tie-off cord, and is designed to keep
lines neatly together when the Rotary Hoist is
not in use.
6.2 When the Rotary Hoist is not in use, fold
the arms against the Main Standard and
wrap the line tie-off cord around all of the
arms, securing the clothesline. You may
have to wrap the line tie-off cord around
the arms twice (Fig. 6b).
Hills Handy Hints
Care and Maintenance
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.
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.
Raise your hoist for maximum drying efficiency
and to ensure clearance for longer items.
6.1 Never leave the line tie-off cord in an
unsecured position (Fig. 6a).
The wind brake assists in the pegging and
unpegging of clothes on windy days by
restricting the free rotation of the clothesline. It
can be engaged by winding the ‘head’ of the
hoist fully down.
Fig. 6b
6.3 When the Rotary Hoist is in use, securely
fasten the line tie-off cord out of the way
by stretching it between two arms and
attaching the hook at the furthest most
point from the origin (Fig. 6c).
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.
Fig. 6c
9
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.
