Step 6:
Find the two sliding pole attachment pieces. Put one on each end of the 12 o'clock pole - it has yellow stickers on the ends - and slide it up about 12 inches (see Fig. 7). This pole (12 o'clock pole) will attach to the outside male pole dowel (which is anodized yellow - gold) of the pole bracket. The middle pole will ultimately be attached to the sliding piece on the 12 o'clock pole.
Assembly of the 3 poles as attached to the bracket on the frame is straight forward as long as you look at the drawings and visualize the next few steps.
It may also help to place a drop of water on
HINTeach pole dowel to help the pole end slide over the friction "o" ring that is on the pole dowel.
Step 7:
Face the three poles (at the 3 or 9 o'clock position) and the bracket. Now "bunch" the poles and the tent to the 12 o'clock side of the trampoline mat (bed). Keep aligned as yellow/12 o'clock, middle (MID), 6 o'clock. Poles should be fairly close together. As you attach (next steps) the poles to the pole dowels at the bracket and to the sliding piece - keep them bowed to the 12 o'clock direction and on that section (12 o'clock) of the trampoline mat.
Step 8:
HINT
Look forward to Figures 8, 9, 10 before attaching the pole ends to their respective pole dowels which are on the brackets and sliding pieces. Try to see where the three pole ends on each side will be attached and how the final pole attachment assembly will look. This looking forward and attempting to see the final "picture" should help over the next few steps.
Take the ends of of the 12 o'clock - yellow marked pole and place it under the other two poles (see Fig. 8) and attach it to the outside, yellow (gold) anodized, pole dowel on the bracket (see Fig. 9 - next page). You will have to slightly bow each of the poles to make them fit onto the dowels. Be careful to not let the pole(s) spring out during this operation.
Attaching the yellow marked pole to the yellow (gold) anodized outside dowel is very important.
