The following figures show how to connect the springs and tighten the trampoline
mat as evenly as possible:
A. Using a “clock” as a relative guide, choose a point that represents 12 o’clock on your jump mat. Attach a
spring to the V-ring of the jump mat. Attach the hook end of the tool to the other end of spring as shown in the
directions on the previous page and line up to the spring hole. With the spring attached to it, pull the tool and
attach the spring hook so it links up to the hole in the top rail. Following the diagram on the right, repeat this at
the 6 o’clock, 3 o’clock, and then 9 o’clock points.
You should try to keep the springs straight following the
“point” in the V-ring to its corresponding hole, or you will encounter springs placed incorrectly into the
holes in the top rail as you progress. If this occurs, read Section C below.
B. Repeat this process to attach the remaining springs in a similar way. It is
VERY IMPORTANT
that the
trampoline mat should tighten as equally as possible. To achieve this, make sure that you always attach two
springs across from each other, otherwise you will not be able to attach all the springs due to the tension on
the trampoline mat. The tension will increase with the number of attached springs.
C. If you notice that a spring is not hooked directly to its corresponding hole in the top rail, but the tension is
too great to currently move it, leave the
V-Ring empty on the jump mat
that the hole in the top rail should
have been hooked to. Remember to also leave
the hole in the top rail
empty that the current, incorrectly
installed spring should have been hooked into so that this spring can be inserted there when tension allows for
correction of this issue.
D. After assembly, the space between all springs should be equal.
E. If you notice that you have skipped a hole and/or V-Ring connection, recount and remove or attach any
springs required. NEVER leave spaces on the V-Rings on the jump mat or empty holes on the top rail.
STEP 4 – SAFETY PLACARD ATTACHMENT
A. Using the tie wrap, attach the Safety Instruction Placard (8) to the trampoline. The tie wrap should go around
the Vertical Frame joint and the Top Rail to ensure it remains attached.
