Trampoline
Unfold the trampoline. Note
that the side tension lines are
prethreaded. Insert the front
sealed bolt rope edge into the tram-
poline track of the front corssbar.
Continue feeding the trampoline into
the trampoline track and position it in
the centre. Line up the grommet in
the centre of the front edge of the
trampoline with the dolphin striker
1
Pull the trampoline to the
back of the boat and insert
the fibreflass rod into the rear
flap of the trampoline. Leave an
equal amount protruding from each
side.
2
Commence lacing the rear of the trampoline. The lacing line ties off on the
lacing post at the left rear of the rear beam. Pass the line around the rod
and back around the first lacing post. Lead the line around the second la-
cing post and pass it around the rod on the first trampoline cut out. Now, come
back around the second lacing post and continue towards the third. Continue all
the way across the beam in the same fashion and tie off loo-
sely. Do not attempt to tighten the rear lacing too much at this
stage.

Beginning
Tensioning
the sides :
starting at
the right rear cor-
ner, take the line
that emerges from
the trampoline.
Lead it through the
eye strap on the
rear beam and
then through the grommet/eyelet. Tie it off with a
bowline knot or similar.
4
Move to the
front right cor-
ner of the
trampoline. Pull on
the line as firmly as
possible and tie a
bowline knot or loop
in the line as close
to the trampoline
edge as possible.
This will enable a 2:1 purchase to be used for tensio-
ning. Tie off once tensioned to secure.
5
Now lead the end of the line through the eyestrap on the rear
of the front beam and back through the loop. Lead the end
back through the eyestrap and apply as much tension as pos-
sible. Maintaining the tension, lead the line through the grommet
and back to the eyestrap. Next, lead the line through the grommet in
the front edge of the trampoline and tie off securely. Repeat proce-
dure for port side.
