3. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Assembling the frame
Fitting the mat and installing the springs
Lay the frame sections (Part A) into a circle
with the spring holes facing upwards. Push
all sections together until all are fully mated
together.
Lay the mat flat inside the frame. Make sure the
logo is facing upwards. In order to make the
installation of the jumping mat easier, find the
four rings in the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock position
directly oposite each other and attach four
springs on these locations first.Then continue by
attaching springs to every eighth ring, followed
by every fourth and so on until all springs are
attached.
At first, it may look like the mat won’t fit, it will
however stretch to the correct size when you
finish attaching all springs.
AKROBAT HINT:
Springs can be hard to attach, you will need a little force. Help
yourself by using one spring to pull another towards the frame
holes. Do not forget to wear gloves!
We recommend at least two people to assemble the trampoline. Use gloves to protect your hands from pinch points and
sharp points during assembly. Do not apply excessive force during assembly that will cause damage to the product.
The hole should not accumulate water (in which case the drainage is necessary) and it should be possible to clean during
maintenance.
TOOLS: You will need a cross-head screwdriver for the retaining wall PVC panels.
Important:Be sure all spring hooks
are well attached to the frame.

INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL - GALLUS INGROUND
Digging the trampoline pit
Position the frame on the location you chose and mark the position on the ground. It’s best to mark
out a hole a bit wider than the diameter of your trampoline.
This will make it easier for you to put the frame in and find the right level. Dig the pit to the
following dimensions:
First, dig the outer hole to create a ledge for
your trampoline frame, which needs to be
25cm deep. This is the exact frame height, so
that the safety pad on top of the frame will be
just above the grass level. Continue by digging
the inner hole.
Dig out in a bowl shape to a depth of 75
cm (10ft & 12ft trampolines), or 90 cm
(13.5ft & 14ft trampolines).The inner hole
should be 40 cm narrower in diameter than
the trampoline, which leaves a 20 cm ledge all
around to place the trampoline.
TRAMPOLINE SIZE
Dimension A – Outer hole Dimension B – Inner hole Dimension C – Total depth
10 ft / cca. 305 cm 204 cm 75 cm
12ft / cca. 366 cm 264 cm 75 cm
13.5ft / cca. 411 cm 371 cm 90 cm
14ft / cca. 427 cm 387 cm 90 cm
4
Attaching the pvc retaining panels
The next step is screwing the PVC retaining
wall panels to the frame. You will need the
cross-head screwdriver and gloves. Take one
panel and place it against the outside of the
frame.You will find four holes in the frame and
four holes in the wall panel. Insert and tighten
the four screws to attach the panel tightly to
the frame. Repeat with all remaining panels.
3
AKROBAT HINT:
It’s a relatively easy task to hand dig the hole for smaller size trampolines, but it would be best to hire a
mini digger able to excavate most of the soil and leave you with the finishing touches.
Note:You will need to save some of the soil for later.

7
Placing the trampoline into the pit
Attaching the frame pad
Carefully place the trampoline on the ledge
covered with the weed barrier. Fill the
remaining free space on the outer rim with
the remaining soil, then cut the excess barrier
material off.
Check that the trampoline is well levelled.You
may want to remove the trampoline to make
any adjustments to the height that the frame
is sitting.Aim for the trampoline jump mat to
sit flush to the ground.
There should be no gap between the garden
and your trampoline.
Finally, re-lay the saved turf around the
trampoline and compact down as much as
possible.
Lay the safety pad on top of the trampoline, aligning the pad section joints with the joints of the frame and
the eyelets facing up. Feed the elastic toggles through the eyelets so the loop end of the tie faces outwards
and the toggle end is on the inside.
5
6
NOTE:
If you want to avoid grass growing under your
trampoline, weed protection cover is available as a
separate item for purchase at your seller.
Important:
The frame pad must cover the
entire frame and all springs.
Flip the frame pad over and pull the elastic
band around the frame. Insert the toggle into
the loop, then rotate the toggle inwards to
secure it. Repeat with all frame pad elastics.

INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL - GALLUS INGROUND
Installation of the safety net
AKROBAT HINT:
If you find it too difficult to get the toggles in place, wedge a
screwdriver carefully between the frame and PVC panel to
attach the toggle. Using a flat-head screwdriver (or similar),
push the loop end between the wall panel and frame. Insert
the toggle from underneath and rotate to secure. Repeat with
all ties.
Start assembling the safety net by inserting the
enclosure pole attached to the door (Part L)
into the frame part with T-socket.
1
2
3
Continue by inserting all of the poles into the sockets,all the
way stretching the bottom edge of the net,in order to make
sure that the safety net fits tightly around the trampoline.
NOTE:
If you find the net too short/long towards
the end, adjust the entire netting starting
from the door towards the last pole.
Insert the bottom part of the door and start
unrolling the safety net around the mat. Make
sure the net is not twisted. After unrolling the
entire net, insert the final pole in the socket
next to the door - be sure to close the door
on the inside of the trampoline before inserting
the last pole.
Start inserting the first pole left from the door.
Keep the bottom edge of the net stretched
before inserting the next enclosure pole. Take
the net near the door and pull tightly towards
the first pole before inserting the pole through
the net and into the socket.
To assemble the top frame., take the shorter top
frame part with a hole in the middle (Part H).
This pole should be attached above the door and
tightened with the connector screw into the top
of the enclosure pole.
Continue by attaching two top frame parts
together, then taking a connector screw and
tightening it into the top of the enclosure pole.
Important:
There are two sizes of top frame parts
– alternate them according to the
frame legs above which the longer top
frame parts should be placed.

5Take the black rope and web it loosely around
the top rail and the net. Web the rope through
every 4th hole on the top edge of the net.Then
return to the beginning and tighten the rope, tying
it around the screw on the last enclosure pole.
Now hang the top edge of the net around the
connector screws. In order to come all the way
around the frame stretch the netting the same
way as while attaching the bottom part.
Next,take the protection foam and place it on the
top rail to form a full circle. Follow by covering
with the top PVC skirt, tying it with the black
rope.Attach the cord around the last screw.
Finally, attach the bottom edge of the netting
to the frame and around the spring with the
remaining toggle elastics.
7
NOTE:
If your trampoline parts set includes one
rope only, use half of the remaining elastic
toggles to attach the top edge of the net.

INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL - GALLUS INGROUND
Cleaning the trampoline:
All Akrobat trampoline mats and frame pads are made of durable high-quality materials and should not be cleaned with
any aggressive cleaning products! Trampoline surfaces are best cleaned with mild soapy water and thoroughly rinsed
with water afterwards.
4. TRAMPOLINE MAINTENANCE
Check your trampoline before each season thoroughly – particularly the frame, frame pad, springs, jumping mat and
safety net. We advise regular check-ups during the season as well. In contrary, damaged parts could be overlooked,
which may result in severe accidents or injuries.
Your check list should include following points:
• All parts are well attached.
• All springs are well secured to the frame and the rings on the jumping mat.
• The trampoline has no damages, such as rips, holes, sharp, twisted or broken parts. If you notice any damage, change
the parts immediately.
• Check the safety net and the poles for potential damages and replace the safety net every 2 years.
For the best maintenance of your trampoline, also make sure no animals are allowed on the trampoline as they could
damage both the frame pad and the jumping mat.
The trampoline should be disassembled and withdrawn from use at once in case of any damage or missing parts until
the defects are repaired or parts replaced.
Extreme weather conditions can impact the trampoline materials, therefore follow these recommendations:
• Disassemble the safety net in case of strong wind and weigh the trampoline down.Store the safety net in a safe place.
• Remove the jumping mat during winter season as the weight of the snow could damage the mat.
• Protect the trampoline from direct heat, fire, sparks and fireworks.
• Protect your trampoline from heavy rain and snow as well.
The hole should not accumulate water (in which case the drainage is necessary) and it should be possible to clean
during maintenance.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR LATER USE.
Remember, the trampoline should only be used by one person at the time!
Maximum user weight is defined by the size of the trampoline:
10 ft – 305 cm 100 kg
12 ft – 366 cm 130 kg
13.5 ft – 411 cm 130 kg
14 ft – 427 cm 130 kg
Your Akrobat trampoline is now ready to be used. Enjoy!
If this is your first trampoline, we advise you to start by learning the basic jumps described in this manual.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Akrobat trampoline weather cover
Akrobat trampoline shoe mat
Akrobat UV PVC protectant spray
Providing year-round maximum protection from damage
caused by weather and debris,Akrobat trampoline cover
will increase the lifespan of your trampoline and adds
durability for countless jumping moments. It is made of
UV-resistant high-quality PVC and available for all sizes
and shapes of Akrobat trampolines.
The shoe mat helps the child to stand comfortable, while
taking the shoes off as they prepare to climb the ladder
onto the trampoline. It also helps keeping the trampoline
nice and tidy.
All weather conditions and UV-radiation PVC trampoline protectant spray leaves an
enduring dirt resilient finish,keeping PVC surfaces clean of soil,sweat,body oils and other.
It will protect your frame pad from UV rays and extend the lifetime of PVC trampoline
parts. It is safe to use on all plastic parts, polyethylene, vinyl and clear vinyl surfaces.
5. TRAMPOLINE ACCESSORIES
Akrobat trampoline socks
Durable trampoline socks with high quality grips ensure a higher level of safety. The
traction material used on the soles of the socks provides friction that reduces sliding and
can decrease the likelihood of accidents. In case of numerous users, the socks also help
control the spreading of microbes which can be exchanged between bare feet.
Akrobat weed barrier
When installing an in-ground trampoline, it is advised to
cover the hole with a weed membrane, which will stop
the weeds from growing underneath your trampoline.
This way, you can prevent weeds to grow through the
springs and obstruct the jumping experience.

INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL - GALLUS INGROUND
6. JUMPING INSTRUCTIONS
Each jumper must start by learning slow and controlled jumps. Safe landings are the base of trampoline jumping skills and are
important to learn at the beginning. Lack of these skills may result in severe injuries and/or damage.
Both jumper and instructor should keep in mind that steady balance at each jump represents the base of successful trampoline
jumping.
The stopping technique is equally important as jumping. Correct stopping represents one of the most important
safety precautions in trampoline jumping.When losing control of the jump and/or balance the jumper has to react quickly to
prevent injuries. In order to achieve this, the jumper should simply bend their knees before landing on the jumping mat.This
is the safest way to stop the jump and prevent accidents.
While learning and training trampoline jumping, it is advised four persons stand around the trampoline in order to help the
jumper if needed.Trampoline jumping is a physical strain and shouldn’t last too long.A tired jumper can easily succumb to
errors in jumping thus highly increasing risk of injury.
High trampoline jumps are considered advanced jumps and should not be allowed to inexperienced jumpers. It is extremely
important to be sure that the height of the jump corresponds to the experience of the jumper.
PLEASE NOTE:
Beginners should learn the basic body positions and practice the basic bounces described in this manual.
To learn how to balance and jump, stand in the middle of the jumping area and bounce softly up and
down to control the movement. Increase the intensity gradually, returning to the same position on the
jumping mat with each bounce.
Focus on the jumping mat when jumping, failing to do so may quickly result in losing balance and falling.
Do not perform somersaults without supervision! Somersaults should be carried out only by experienced
jumpers under supervision of an expert and using appropriate safety measurements.
