TRAMPOLINE MAT ASSEMBLY

Trampoline Mat Assembly
When attaching the springs, do not place your hands, arms, legs or any other body part close to the connector
points (i.e. joints connecting the steel tubes). The connector points can become pinch points as the trampoline
springs tighten up. Wear heavy duty working gloves to protect your hands from injuries during installation by the
springs and protective goggles to avoid injuries to the eyes. Be steady when installing the springs as it can
rebound and fly off if you inadvertently let go when not hooked properly. Make sure no children are playing
nearby when installing the trampoline.
Step 5
– Spring Assembly
To install the springs, hook one end of the Spring (# 7) into the triangle-ring on the Mat (# 1), then pull the
other end with the Spring Loading Tool (# 9) underhand and latch it into the corresponding hole on the
frame. Tap on the spring with the handle of the Spring Loading Tool to make sure it is securely latched.
There are a total of 56 springs. Start by installing Point
“1”, placed above a leg frame and in front of the
warning label on the mat. For even distribution of spring tension and ease of assembly, the springs must
always be installed on opposite sides of the mat in an alternating manner, i.e. 1, then 29, followed by 15
and 43 as shown below. Hint: The number of triangle-rings sewn onto the Mat is equal to the number of
holes on the frame. If you notice that you have miscounted a hole or triangle-ring, remove and reinstall the
springs as necessary while maintaining an even distribution of tension as explained above.
