RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS
BEAMS
Lay the two hulls into the launching trolley cups bow first.
This will hold the hulls in the correct position to connect to
the main and rear beam.
8x lock nuts, washers and 8mm x 15mm s/s bolts are supplied.
You wll require assistance to bolt the beams into the hulls.
The main beam has a ball deck step and is shaped to fit snugly
into the front socket of the hulls. The rear beam is smaller with
a traveller attached and a row of small plastic wheels along it’s
length. Again this is shaped to fit perfectly into the rear beam
sockets with the white plastic wheels facing aft.
Feed the bolts into
the holes in the hulls
going through the
washer and then
attach lock nut
and tighten.
Attach the main beam
first followed by the
rear beam.
TRAMPOLINE
1. Remove the beam end cap from the main beam.
2. Ensure that the 5mm glass tube is inserted into the sleeve
that runs along the front of the trampoline.
Insert 5mm glass tube and trampoline into the main beam.
Then slide across the length of the beam until the trampoline is
positioned centrally.
3. Tie small retaining line on plastic wheel on rear of trampoline.
This is in order that you can still reach the wheel once you have
tightened the rope at the front of the trampoline (see next step)
4. Insert rope from trampoline through hole in main beam.
5. Pull tight and tie off with figure of eight knot.
(The wheel at rear of trampoline should now only just be visible
protruding from the rear of the trampoline).
6. Untie retaining line from wheel at rear of trampoline.
Re-attach to eyelet on rear beam (bth sides) to hold trampoline
centrally in position.
LACING THE TRAMPOLINE
1. Ensure that the 10mm glass rod is inserted into the rear
of trampoline.
2. Tie loop on end of trampoline lacing line (A)
using a bowline knot.
3. You can then begin to lace the trampoline onto the rear beam.
4. (B) Feed line aft under rear beam, (C) over the top of the 1st
nylon wheel, (D) on to next wheel, (E) over the top of 2nd wheel,
(F) Then forward under the beam, (G) and down through the eye
in the rear of the trampoline around the 10mm rod, (H) then
back under beam...
5. ... Then over the top of the 2nd wheel and lace as one the
first wheel. Then continue lacing process until you reach the final
nylon wheel on the end of the rear beam.
6. Once at the end of the beam. Go back to first loop and
tighten the section between the first wheel and the second.
Then tighten the loop between the second and third and so on.
7. With the tail of the rope, feed under beam, loop it over the far
end of the 10mm glass fibre rod and then back under the beam.
Round the last nylon wheel and tie off between the last wheel
and the last but one.
NOTE; THE TRAMPOLINE
LACING WILL NEED TO BE
RE-TIGHTENED FROM TIME
TO TIME TO ENSURE THAT
THE TRAMPOLINE
REMAINS TAUT.
