Assembling the frame
Please note: On the long sides, the frame will appear to bow outwards - this is by design.
When the springs are attached the frame will pull inwards, but always have a slide outward
bow.
Important: all trampoline sizes are approximate and can be up to +/- 1” (2,5 cm) different
to those that we publish.
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.
TOOLS: You will need a cross-head screwdriver or a battery drill with 7 mm cap for the retaining wall
PVC panels.
AKROBAT HINT:
For easier assembling of frame parts
apply some grease for bearings to all
junctions.
2. TRAMPOLINE PARTS 3. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Lay the frame sections (Part A-G) to form
a rectangle with the spring holes on top
of the frames facing upwards. Be careful
to place bottom frames with side holes
facing outside of the frame. Push all
sections together until they are all fully
mated together. Start assembling with
B1 top and bottom frame B and follow
assembling in the circle.

INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL - Primus Flat RECTANGULAR
Fitting the mat and installing the springs
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, locate the four rings in the corners
of the jumping mat and attach four springs on these locations first. Pass the springs
through the spring loops on the corners underside of the jumping mat.
Continue by attaching springs from the corners to the middle of the jumping mat
until all springs are attached.
Important: Be sure all spring
hooks are well attached to the
frame.
Important: Be sure that you hook
the corner spring trough the loop
in the corner. It will keep the
corners of the mat in place.
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.
Attach springs simultaneously on both
sides of the frame (one person at each
side).
2
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 or a battery drill with 7 mm cap and gloves. Take one panel and place it against
the outside of the frame. You will find eight holes in the frame and eight holes in the wall panel.
Insert and tighten the eight screws to attach the panel tightly to the frame. Repeat with all
remaining panels.
Important:
All PVC panels are labeled and
should be attached to the right
place of the frame. Shorter PVC panels
(B - 6 pcs) are for corners and short frame
sides longer panels (A - 4 pcs) are for the
long sides of the trampoline.

Cover the complete surface with
the weed protection, then place the
trampoline frame into position. Make
sure the membrane ‘hugs’ the shape
of the hole and sits right at the bottom
of the hole - keeping wjumping space
under the mat.
How to measure the hole depth
To properly measure the depth of the hole, use the measuring tape provided in the kit. Stretch
the tape over the entire dimension of the trampoline pit. Smaller holes on both sides of the
measuring tape indicate the dimension of your trampoline size. When placing the measuring
tape in the area, it is first necessary to check that the measuring marks indicate the edge
dimension of your trampoline. Once the edge dimension is determined, then you can easily
define the central position of the pit, which indicates, where the pit for your trampoline should
be the deepest (110 cm / 3’7’’).

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:
TRAMPOLINE SIZE
Dimension A:
Trampoline size
Dimension B:
Inner hole
Dimension C:
Total depth
17 x 10 ft / 518 x 305 cm 478 x 265 cm / 15’8’’ x 8’8’’ 110 cm / 3’7’’
Dig the inner hole according to the
dimensions of your trampoline and with
a bowl-shaped bottom. The inner hole
should be 40 cm / 1’4’’ narrower than the
trampoline size. This will leave a 20 cm / 8’’
ledge all around on which the trampoline
will sit.
First,digthe outerholetocreatealedgefor
your trampoline frame, which needs to be
25 cm / 10’’ 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.
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 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.
The hole should not accumulate water (in which case the drainage is necessary) and it
should be possible to clean during maintenance.

The last step to secure the frame pad to
the trampoline is placing springs into the
“spring loops”. You will find 8 of them on
the underside of the frame pad where
each pad section joins the next one.
Remove a single spring under every loop,
slip it through the loop and reattach to
the frame. Repeat with all loops. This will
prevent the front of the pads from lifting
up.
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.
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 elastics.
Attaching the frame pad
Lay the safety pad on top of the trampoline with the eyelets facing up. Insert the elastic
toggles through the eyelets so the loop end of the elastic faces outwards and the toggle end
is on the inside.

Placing the trampoline into the pit
Carefully place the trampoline on the
ledge covered with the weed protection.
Fill the remaining free space around the
trampoline with the remaining soil, then
cut off the excess material of the weed
protection.
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 on. Aim for the
trampoline jumping mat to sit flush to
the ground.
As this trampoline is very heavy we
suggest to have at least four people at
installation.
There should be no gap between the
ground and your trampoline.
Finally, re-lay the saved soil around the
trampoline and compact down as much
as possible.

Inside the package you will find two parts of gray foam. This foam needs to be inserted into
PVC pocket on the bottom side, located exactly in the middle of long side of the frame pad. Be
carefull to place it so that round cut-out circles on the foam are on the outer side of the pad (this
holes are made so that later you can fit poles into the enclosure sockets).
The foam must be completely in the cover, this can take some effort. The operation is similar
to a pillowcase. The foam may therefore no longer be visible after installation and must be fully
mounted in the PVC cover.

Assembling the full enclosure
The safety net is not part of the set. It is
available as a separate item for purchase.
We advise two people to install the safety
net.
Open the zipper on net. Place the net on
the trampoline, so that entrance is where
the Warnings are printed on jumping
pad. Start inserting metal poles into the
enclosure sockets, starting with entrance
pole. Lift poles with net through the 10
cm slot between the pad sections and
push it to the sockets in middle junction
part of the frame. Make sure that they are
fitting in the hole entirely, to secure that
the net pole is fixed. Repeat the same
step with all of the rest poles around the
trampoline.

Providing year-round maximum protection from
damage caused by weather and debris, Akrobat
trampoline cover increases 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 you to stand comfortable,
while taking the shoes off. 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 PVC parts.
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 trampoline weather cover
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
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR LATER USE.
Remember, the trampoline should only be used by one person at the time!
User weight must not exceed:
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 recommen-
dations:
• 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 trampoline pit should not accumulate water (in which case the drainage is necessary) and it should
be possible to clean during maintenance.

7. BASIC TRAMPOLINE JUMPS
THE JUMPING JACK:
1. Start from a standing position with feet in
shoulder width, head up and eyes on the
trampoline mat.
2. Swing your hands forward, above your head and
back in a circular motion.
3. Bring your feet together in mid-air and point
your toes.
4. Land back on the center of the mat with your
feet in shoulder width (the same as the starting
position).
THE FRONT DROP:
1. Start by softly bouncing up and down a few
times.
2. Jump upwards and land with your hands and
knees forward.
3. Push yourself off with your hands and jump back
to the upright position.
THE PRAYING MANTIS:
1. Start with a low bounce.
2. Land on your knees in shoulder width, keeping
your back straight and keep your arms stretched
out to maintain balance.
3. Bounce back to the starting position by using
the bounce momentum and swinging your
arms upwards.
BOTTOM BOUNCE:
1. Start with a basic starting position. Jump up,
aiming to the center of the jumping mat.
2. Land with your legs stretched in front of you,
with hands on both side of your hips and keep
your back straight
3. Push yourself up with your hands to rebound to
the starting position.
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.
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 his knees before landing on the jumping mat. This is the safest way to stop the jump and
prevent accidents.
While learning and training trampoline jumps, it is advised to have a persons standing 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.
