Serves the dual purpose of holding the clothesline together and keeping it spaced apart. It prevents the line from getting twisted and deters the drying items from wrapping around the line. Our hook on the house is pretty heavy and goes through the siding into a stud.

It is a STRATA elevator and there is no instructions to indicate how the line is supposed to stay up to keep the clothes off the ground.
Your help is appreciated. My pully system was installed so that the nearest pully is attached to a metal pole. The gismo attached to the pole has a rope which can be pulled up the post to raise and lower the level of the pully.
I need to re-install a new line, but cannot snake it through, as the line not the pull rope came out when it broke. How do I string this contraption? Hi Sheila. We can't seem to picture out your question.
Could you send a photo or something to show us what you are talking about on this email: [email protected]. I really need to start hanging clothes! We live in the sunshine state and are a family of seven, so I imagine this would really help with the electric bill.
A pulley system just makes everything seem like less of a hassle. I need to hang a new clothesline this year. I had one for years but last year I hung my quilt and it became very windy and pulled everything out and sent it sailing. I could not believe it, the wind was incredible that day though. I didn't rehang and really missed it the last month of summer. That fresh air smell can't be beat by any product available.

What is a clothesline tension adjuster? Instructions Selecting a sunny location free of overhanging branches where privacy will not be a concern. Drill holes where you want to hang the the pulleys for the top and bottom of your clothesline. Use a long screwdriver to help screw the hooks into the holes.
Hang the pulleys onto the secure hooks. Run the clothesline through the pulleys, forming a loop. Tie the clothesline tightener to the end of the clothesline coming from the bottom pulley. Pull the clothesline coming from the top pulley through the bearings in the center of the tightener.
Pull the clothesline tight. Tie off the end of the clothesline. You can trim the clothesline if there is considerable excess. Use clothespins to hang wet laundry on your newly installed clothesline. Utilize clothesline separators every ft to keep the clothesline from sagging.

If the pulley is not sufficient, move to the second set of instructions for using a compound pulley. Secure the fixed pulley to your anchor point. For example, in a garage, this can mean securing the fixed pulley to a chain wrapped around a sturdy ceiling joist. Don't expect an eye screw inserted into a ceiling joist to hold extremely heavy weights, as it may well tear free if the weight is substantial.
It always better to wrap an anchor chain or cable around an overhead framing member. A sturdy tree limb can also serve as a good anchor point for the fixed pulley. Select a lift rope that is rated for the weight you want to lift, and with a diameter that properly fits the grooves on your pulley wheel. Thread one end of the rope through the overhead pulley hub so it fits into the wheel's groove, then attach the end of the rope to the object you wish to lift.
Proceed to lift your load by applying downward or lateral force to the other end of the rope. If you plan to hold the weight object in a fixed position, choose an anchor point for the other end of the rope that is sufficient to safely hold the load in place. In this simplest form of a compound pulley setup, you'll need one fixed pulley that will be anchored overhead, and another pulley that will be attached directly to the load and which will move as you lift the load.
The advantage of a compound system is that it really does reduce the force necessary to do the lifting. If a weight is too heavy to lift by hand, a compound pulley setup will let you get the job done.
Attach the fixed pulley to the overhead anchor point, as described in Steps 1 to 3 above. Then, attach the movable bottom pulley directly to the load. Make sure both anchor points are sturdy enough to support to load that will be placed on them. When pulley systems fail, it is almost always at one of these two anchor points. Attach the rope first to the bottom of the upper fixed pulley, then loop the rope down through the wheel on the moveable lower pulley.
Now, loop the rope back up through the top fixed pulley. All depends on what tooling you have available. SouthBendModel34 liked this post. If you are going to heat it just set it in the oven at about degrees for a half hour or so as long as it's not painted. Have the motor sitting near the oven, use welding gloves to grab it out of the oven and slide it on to the shaft. I used this method a few times for installing valve guides into heads heated the heads for HD Shovel motors.
Works best when your wife is out! It doesn't have to be friction-fit tight as it's got a key to secure it. Hope that helps, -Ron.
Knn liked this post. If it is a reversing application with some high torque, likely it is supposed to press on the shaft. Don't undo some proper engineering with seemingly conventional wisdom. May or may not want to ream it. If there is room, perhaps install a Ringfeder. Join Date Apr Location B. I added a VFD to a lathe recently.
The new motor's shaft was smaller than the original's and the pulley would tend to walk off as the bushing I made had to be quite thin. I tapped the motor shaft for something like an M5 SHCS and made a cap to draw and hold the pulley on the shaft.
I've encountered this on an IEC blower motor and on pretty much every auto engine to hold the torsional damper on. Tightening the screw or bolt easily draws the item on to the shaft. Cheers, Duane. As mentioned, don't modify the pulley.
