WARNING: Treat any loaded rod
with caution until you are sure it is
properly installed or uninstalled.
Keep your face well away from any
loaded rod.
WARNING: Do not use the trampoline
until it is completely assembled.
Failure to follow these instructions
may cause rods to break or eject from
the frame.
Tip: It is easiest to
mount the rod ball
to the fitting by
pushing the rod in
and up towards the
mat, while pulling the
mat fitting to the left.
The ball then pushes
back naturally into
the fitting (some rods
will need to be bent a
long way at first).

Step 10: Attaching the first
rods to the mat
Choose the rod in the socket with the sticker
"1st rod position. " Connect the ball end of this
rod to the fitting in the mat marked with a label
"1st rod position" (Figure 10-A).
Connect the rod to the left of the first rod
with the corresponding cleat in the mat.
Repeat at the opposite end of trampoline.
Step 11: Attaching every fifth
rod to the mat
Working from right to left, count four empty
sockets in the edge of the mat. Mount the fifth;
this leaves four unconnected rods between
groups (Figure 11-A).
Continue around the tramp from right to
left, mounting every fifth mat socket to the cor-
responding rod.
Tip: Push the rod in with your right hand, palm
facing up, and with your elbow to hip, while
pulling the mat socket left and up with the left
hand. This method uses your body weight to
flex the rods (rather than pure arm strength),
and it also keeps your face away from the
loaded rods (Figure 11-B).

Tip: Make sure the
safety clip in the
mat-edge socket
has closed behind
clip
the ball. If the ball is
properly installed, you
should not be able to
slide the ball out of
the mat socket
(Figure 10-B).
