Disassembly and Storage

To store the tent on the side of the trampoline

The trampoline tent can be stored on the trampoline frame for short periods on non-use. This is done by folding the tent down and wrapping it in its attached tie string pouch. The pouch is an integral part of the tent (fabric/straps) and is on the rear window (opposite the door) side of the tent.

Enter the tent and tie down all windows. Exit the tent and zip the door closed.

Remove (unstrap) all the velcro straps on the front (door) side of the trampoline frame. This is the 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock part of the top frame. Also unstrap the velcro strap on the back side (away from door - 12 o'clock side) on each pole bracket. This will release all the tension on the tent and poles and allow you to properly lower the tent to the 12 o'clock position. Lower the tent to the 12 o'clock position.

Leaving the poles attached to the combination bracket assembly, gather the tent and poles together on the outside of the trampoline frame. You will have to slide the middle pole out (along the yellow pole) to align with the two longer poles at the edge of the frame. This is done by grasping the pole at the slider piece and moving it out along the yellow pole about one foot.

Gather the tent fabric and poles into a tight bundle and wrap the upper and lower flaps of the tie string pouch around the tight bundle. This is best done by first wrapping the lower flap up around the tent/pole bundle and then folding the longer upper flap around it. Tie the pouch closed with the tie strings provided. Tuck any loose protruding material into the pouch.

Remove the tent floor and store in a clean dry place.

Prolonged exposure to the sun and elements (especially ultraviolet rays) will shorten the life of the tent fabric. For longer tent life, store the tent in its tie string pouch during short periods of non-use. Remove the tent from the trampoline during inclimate weather or during long periods of non-use. Once removed, store it in its stuff sack in a clean dry place.

The trampoline is now ready for use as a trampoline. Trampoline users should get on and off of the half of the trampoline that does not have the stored tent. Follow all of the trampoline manufacturer’s instructions on how to use the trampoline safely.

To put the tent back in service, install the tent floor over the mat (bed), then untie the tie string pouch, check the hardware brackets for tightness, erect the tent, and secure it with the velcro straps as per assembly Step 11 on page 11.

To remove the tent from the trampoline

Make sure the tent is dry before removing and storing. Reverse the order of the basic assembly process. Vertical frame brackets do not have to be removed but should be loosened and turned so the pole dowels are under the springs and out of the way. Store the tent in a safe, dry location.

Once the tent is stored, remove all items from the trampoline mat (bed). Make sure the mat (bed) is clean and that it has no tears or holes.
