FAQs

What is the total length of the washing line?

The dryer provides 45 meters of washing line.

How many loads of laundry can it hold?

It can hold up to four average loads of laundry.

What are the dimensions of the dryer?

The dryer is 1.78m wide from arm to arm, 1.82m high, and has a turning circle of 2.45m. The pole diameter is 32mm.

Does it come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, it includes a plastic socket and a ground spike for installation, along with two packs of pegs.

Is it suitable for balconies?

This model is designed for ground installation. It may not be suitable for balconies unless there is a dedicated, secure ground-level installation point.

How do I adjust the height?

The dryer features an easy-to-use 3-position height adjustment. Refer to the dryer's specific mechanism for exact operation, usually involving a lever or button to move the central pole.

How durable is the painted finish?

The fully painted steel construction is designed for durability and resistance to outdoor elements. However, like any painted surface, it can be subject to wear over time and may benefit from protective care.

Troubleshooting

Dryer is unstable or wobbly

Ensure the ground spike or socket is fully and securely installed into the ground. Check that the pole is firmly seated in its base. If on uneven ground, try to level the base or choose a more stable spot.

Height adjustment is difficult

Ensure the mechanism is clear of debris. Try gently rocking the pole while adjusting. Consult the specific instructions for the height adjustment mechanism if provided separately.

Washing lines seem slack or uneven

Most rotary dryers have lines that are tensioned when the arms are extended. If lines appear excessively slack, check that the arms are fully extended and locked into place. Some lines may have individual tensioning mechanisms, though this is less common.

Rust spots appearing on the frame

The frame is painted for durability. Minor rust spots may indicate a chip in the paint. Clean the area gently with a wire brush, dry thoroughly, and apply a suitable metal paint or rust inhibitor to protect the steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Location: Select a stable, level outdoor area with ample space for the dryer's turning circle.
  2. Install Ground Spike/Socket: Use the provided ground spike or plastic socket to securely anchor the dryer pole into the ground. If using the spike, a mallet may be helpful. Ensure it is firmly embedded for stability.
  3. Insert Pole: Place the dryer pole into the installed ground spike or socket.
  4. Adjust Height: Utilize the 3-position height adjustment mechanism to set the desired working height.

Compatibility:

  • Ground Type: Best suited for installation in soil, grass, or areas where the ground socket can be firmly embedded.
  • Pole Diameter: The dryer pole has a diameter of 32mm, compatible with the included ground accessories.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the painted steel frame and washing lines with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or mildew. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to harsh weather can accelerate wear. Consider covering or bringing indoors during extreme weather or winter months to prolong its lifespan.
  • Line Maintenance: Periodically check the washing lines for any signs of wear or damage. Replace lines if they become frayed or weak.
