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
Ø
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.
Ø
There are a total of 72 springs, 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 37, followed by
19 and 55 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.
NOTE:
Start Point 1 above a leg socket and in front of the mat warning label for ease of spring counting. The
warning label should be positioned where the netting entrance is intended so it will be visible as the user enters
the trampoline.
