d) FIRST ASSEMBLY
Unfold the trampoline and push the front frame tube – the front frame tube
is recognised by it having a holder for the centreboard in the middle –
through the front tunnel on the trampoline
(02) . After this, push the right
side tube in the same way through the right trampo-line tunnel (the left
side of the trampoline is the one with the eyelets) – the side tubes can be
identified because they are cut slanting at the front
(03) . Take care that
the slanting ends of the two side tubes sit properly within the front frame
tube so that they are secured against twisting. These slant-cut ends belong
in the corner connections of the front frame tube, in the position specially
made in the front frame tube. Complete the whole frame by slotting the
rear frame tube onto both side tubes
(04) .
The rear frame tube can be identified by the round pipe in the centre
through which the rudder module passes.
Now position the finished, assembled frame over the trampoline in such a
way that the cut out round side at the front centre of the trampoline lies on
the front frame part
(05) . You can then start to attach the trampoline to
the frame, passing the fixing rope through the eyelets and finally pulling it
tight by using the clamp mounted on the frame
(06) .
Please start by passing the rope through the eyelets from the inside
towards the outside
(07 + 09) . You must probably – especially with a
new trampoline – repeatedly tighten the rope through the eyelets right
from the beginning in order to be able to reach the clamp on the frame
(07) .
Please tension the rope evenly through all the eyelets and do not pull the
rope tightly through a single eyelet. Secure the rope behind the clamp with
a reef knot
(08) .
