SF72 MODEL - SPECIAL TIPS FOR INSTALLATION

The Springfree™ Trampoline SF72 model has a unique “rod socket” system. The “rod socket” is where the spring rods (the rods that support the trampoline jumping mat) are inserted into the frame.
NB:  It is very important to ensure the spring rods are correctly and fully inserted into the “rod socket” otherwise the black plastic insert may be damaged.

Before you begin inserting the spring rods into the rod sockets, ensure all the plastic inserts are installed correctly; Figure 1 shows the insert in the correct position, note both halves of the end of the insert are visible and the wedge shaped clip is positioned against the edge of the slot.  Figure 2 shows the insert in the wrong position, note only half of the insert is visible and the wedge shaped clip is away from the edge of the slot.

Note: We can supply replacement SF72 inserts as required, just phone our Spare Parts Department on 0800 JUMPSAFE to place an order.  The trampoline can be installed without the inserts as a temporary solution but please note that they are a safety device to stop children getting their fingers caught on sharp edges.

Tips and Traps

Assembling the Frame

ALL MODELS

Springfree™ Trampoline supplies two flat wrenches to fasten the bolts and nuts. If you have them, however, use one 1/2" (13mm) socket wrench and one 1/2" combination wrench to speed up the process.

Positioning the Enclosure Net and Inserting the Rods

ALL MODELS

The D-Ring on the door of the enclosure net should be facing towards the ground when inserting the rod through the hole into the frame. If the D-Ring is facing up, the net will be inside out.

For proper placement of the enclosure net, locate the hole directly below the D-Ring on the door. Starting from where two frame sections connect, identify the fifth rod socket to the right of the joint. Insert a rod through the enclosure hole below the D-Ring and into that fifth socket. See step 10 of the manual.

Ensure that all rods are fully inserted into the bottom of the sockets.

Attaching the Mat

ALL MODELS

Warning: Treat any loaded rod with caution until you are sure it is properly installed or uninstalled. Keep your face well clear of any loaded rod.

When inserting the rods, grab the rod underhanded and use your body, not just your arm strength, to push the rod in. Lift the mat as the rod gets under the cleat and then lower it onto the ball at the top of the rod. Make sure the ball is fully engaged in the cleat.

If you miss the cleat on the first try, we find it's helpful to bring the rod back to its initial position and try again, rather than tryring to find the proper position while the rod is flexed.

Raising the Enclosure Net

ALL MODELS

Warning: Never attempt to remove an enclosure rod from its joiner or remove a C-Clip from its slot in the joiner while the enclosure rod is under tension.

When inserting the enclosure rods, first insert the short segment with the white ball into the pocket at the top of the enclosure. Next, insert the long segment into the joiner ensuring that the plastic C-clip locks it into place. Finally, lift the rod, bend it up and then insert the end into its socket.
