2. TRAMPOLINE PARTS 3. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
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.
Please note that some tools (Battery dril or screwdriver) are required for assembly of the frame.
Assembling the frame
Place the trampoline frame parts flat on
the ground. This way you will have a better
overview.
Lay the frame sections A -D with holes for
springs facing upwards.
Place the marked frame support panel to the
right position on the frame as indicated on
the picture.
Then you start assembling parts together.
We advise that you fix frame support panels
to separate frame segment first. For example
start by fixing support panels AB 1/3, 2/3 and
3/3 with screws to frame A. Repeat with other
frame segments B, C, D to have all frame
support panels attached to the upper frame.
Then start connecting frame segments
together to form rectangle frame. The parts
are made for assembly with a simple AkroClick
system.
At the end use 8 big screws to fix part C on
both sides to the corner frame section (parts
A and B). * See photo below.

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.
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).
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.
AKROBAT HINT:
Springs can be hard to attach, you will need a little force. Help yourself by using
spring tool which is included in the kit. Do not forget to wear gloves!
INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL - XCITYX FLAT 17 x 12 ft
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 17x12ft (518 x 366 cm)
Dimension A:
OUTSIDE PIT
Dimension B:
INNER HOLE
Dimension C:
TOTAL DEPTH
530 x 380 cm / 17’4’’ x 12’5’’ 478 x 326 cm / 15’7’’ x 10’7’’ 120 cm / 3’9’’
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, dig the outer hole to create a ledge for
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.

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 (120 cm / 3’7’’). Always use a measuring tape to check the
correct depth of the pit - the depth of the pit depends on the size of your trampoline.
INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL - XCITYX FLAT 17 x 12 ft
Placing the trampoline into the pit
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.
Carefully place the trampoline on the ledge
covered with 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.
Fill the remaining free space around the
trampoline with the remaining soil, then cut
off the excess material of the weed protection.
Finally, re-lay the saved soil around the
trampoline and compact down as much as
possible.

Flip the frame pad over and place the padding
parts in the correct position (see picture
below).
Connect the safety pad sections together
with velcro.
Installing the safety net
The safety net is not part of the set. It is
available as a separate item for purhase.
We advise at least two people to install the
safety net.
Insert the poles into the PVC protection sewn
to the net. Then place the entire net together
with the inserted poles on the trampoline,
ensuring that the entrance is at the corner of
the trampoline.
Start inserting metal poles into the enclosure
sockets on the frame, starting with entrance
pole. Lift poles with net through the slots
between the pad sections and push it to the
sockets of the frame.
Make sure that they are fitting in the hole en-
tirely, to secure that the net pole is fixed. Re-
peat the same step with all of the rest poles
around the trampoline.
When you have all the poles installed, pull the
whole net down to keep it as taut as possible.
Finally, connect the velcro from the entrance
to the underside of the frame pad.
INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL - XCITYX FLAT 17 x 12 ft
Important:
The frame pad must cover the
entire frame and all springs.
Step on the jumping mat, lift the padding and
insert metal hook attached to the elastic to
the slots in bottom frame. Repeat the same
procedure with all frame pad elastics.
Attaching the frame pad
Lay all the safety pad parts on the trampoline
with eyelets facing up and insert elastic
toggles through the eyelets.

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 5 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.
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!

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.
Akrobat trampoline weather cover
Providing year-round maximum protection from dam-
age 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.
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.
