Put the rope through the lugs on the bottom of the trampoline and tauten it firmly. Fix the end of the rope it the notch. This will help you stretch the trampoline. Fix the keel fins on the bottom of the noninflated floats. Push the fins into the pockets on the floats. Before inflation, check the status of the valves. Set the valves to the closed position, slightly push on the centre pin, turn the pin and release the pressure on the pin to enable it to sit in the higher position.
Unwrap the bundle of stainless ropes and attach them using snap hooks to the frame as shown in the diagram. Slip the end with a plastic plug on the end of the longitudinal centre tube. Stainless ropes Put together the mast. The individual components are just put in one another. Interlace the lifting ropes with a pulley on the top of the mast. Before erecting the mast, fix the lateral fastening ropes in its upper part as well as the front rope.
Now you can erect the mast. By tightening the front rope and locking it in the notch you can achieve thorough tautening for all the ropes and the mast. Screw in the stretchers on the lower stainless ropes in such a manner so that these are tautened. Heave out the sail in vertical direction -by tightening the rope between the boom and the mast. Fix the taut rope in the jam. Lifting ropes Unpack the jib and to its top fix the lifting rope.
Warning ! It is recommended after each sailing, to treat the connections of the mast using silicone oil. Warning ! - If you experience a loss of pressure of 20% of operating pressure inside a 24 hour period when external temperature is constant it is considered to be normal and no reason for a complaint to the manufacturer or a warranty claim!...................................
