Unfold the trampoline. Note that the trampoline has side tension lines that are already pre-threaded. 
Insert the front edge of the trampoline into the track at the left, rear side of the front crossbar. Continue 
feeding the trampoline into the track and position it in the center. line up the grommet in the center of the 

trampoline with the dolphin striker post to ensure it is centered. 

 
 
 

Take one of the side tensioning lines and pass the line 
through the pad-eye that is fixed to the front crossbar. 
Then tie with a bowline knot the line onto the grommet of 
the trampoline near where the rope exits the trampoline. 
Repeat this step at the opposite side front corner. 

Trampoline 

 
 
 

Move to the rear of the trampoline. Very closely to where 
the side tensioning line exits the rear of the trampoline tie 
a loop. ensure you pull the side tensioning line firmly as to 
tie the loop as closely to the trampoline where the rope 
exits as possible. Tie a bowline or a similar loop in the 
line which will be used for a 4:1 purchase of the side 
tensioning lines. Repeat this step for the opposite side 
rear corner. 

 
 
 

Now take the tale of the side 
tensioning line and pass the 
rope through the pad-eye 
mounted on the rear cross beam 
closest to where the line exits 
the trampoline. Then pass the 
line back through the loop tied in 
step3. Again go through the 
pad-eye on the beam and back 
through the loop. This will 
provide a 4:1 purchase. Pull the 
line slightly as to take some tension for the sides but do not 
completely tension at this stage. Repeat this step for the opposite 
side rear corner. Ensure that the trampoline is still centered.
