This really helped me out. I wasn’t able to stretch it out. One of the cords were stuck inside the arms. Took all parts out, put the cord in the right way but I failed putting the cord holders and weights back in correct way. Thank you for explaining.
Hi. Thanks for your videos. Have you done one on how to replace the pull cord on a Linoprotect 400 by any chance? Leifheit have sent me a new cord but no instructions on how to access where the cord attaches to the inner shaft. Thanks Brian
Hi Luke.Thanks for your reply (below). I followed your advice checking the lines and runners that the lines are attached to for each and every segment . No problems and the lines are all free. The arms still will not close. The red grab handle that is pulled to lift the arms appears to stop the arms from decending where this handle sits against the vertical pole. When the arms are lifted by pulling the handle the arms ascend up the pole and the red grab handle hangs down loose about 9"". As your previous advice did not lead to a solution do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.
My lineomatic will not collapse. All lies seem ok when up but it only goes down with the line that raises it becoming tight & the red finger grip on end of line against the pole. Is it something in the top of the main post that has stuck? There is a plastic cover on the top that I guess can be removed
Good morning Carl, many thanks for your comment. If your rotary is similar to the style demonstrated in the video then the plastic covers at the ends can be removed to allow you to check each row of clothesline to see if any lines or connectors have become stuck that are preventing you from collapsing the rotary arms.
We have just bought one of these and the instructions say the pull cord is supposed to retract once the airer is up but it doesn’t - it just lays on the floor like your one does. Is this right or is there a fix for this…?
