- Page 1 Select a suitable site and mounting option for your RetractAway. The maximum span between the two Fig 1 mounting surfaces should not exceed 8 metres for a RetractAway 40 or 10m for a RetractAway 50. Minimum extension for RetractAway 40 or Cabinet 50 is 2m.
- Page 2 CORD HEIGHT Due to distance that RetractAway can cover and weight of wet clothing, lines may sag in middle. To allow for this sag, RetractAway cabinet & Catch should be mounted so that cord is at least 100mm above user’s head height.
- Page 3 Mount Receiving Catch to wall Place the Receiving Catch against the wall opposite the Cabinet, ensure the Catch is centred to the Cabinet. Position the top of the Catch 100mm above the users head height. See Figure 3a. Ensure the Catch is level. Mark the wall through both holes. Using the marks, drill two holes to suit fasteners. Fix Catch to wall using the remaining fasteners.
- Page 4 1. Mix concrete in the ratio of 4 gravel, 2 sand and 1 cement or simply use premixed concrete packs. To hold the Post/Socket erect, the concrete must be mixed fairly dry but should still be wet enough that it sticks to itself when squeezed in the hand, it should not crumble.
