4. Setup and Installation

This section outlines the general steps for installing or replacing a lower enclosure pole. Always refer to your specific Sportspower trampoline's assembly manual for detailed diagrams and instructions, particularly for "Key B" references.

1. Identify Location: Locate the position on your trampoline frame where the lower enclosure pole needs to be installed or replaced. This pole typically connects to the trampoline leg assembly.
2. Remove Old Pole (if replacing): If replacing a damaged pole, carefully unfasten it from the trampoline leg and the upper enclosure pole (if connected). Retain any hardware that is not included with the new pole.
3. Attach Lower Pole: Align the new lower enclosure pole (Part FT-6013) with the designated attachment point on the trampoline leg. Secure it using the appropriate bolts, washers, and nuts as indicated in your main trampoline manual (often referred to as "Key B" in diagrams). Ensure all hardware is tightened securely.
4. Connect to Upper Pole (if applicable): If your trampoline design requires it, connect the upper enclosure pole to the newly installed lower pole. Ensure this connection is also secure.
5. Final Check: After installation, gently test the stability of the pole. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble. Verify that the enclosure net can be properly secured to the pole.

Important: Do not use the trampoline until all enclosure poles and the safety net are correctly and securely installed according to the complete trampoline assembly instructions.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps prolong the life of your trampoline components and ensures continued safety.

• Periodic Inspection: Regularly inspect the lower enclosure poles for signs of rust, bends, cracks, or loose connections. Check all bolts and nuts for tightness.
• Cleaning: Clean the poles with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Rust Prevention: If minor rust appears, clean the area and apply a rust-inhibiting paint or coating to prevent further corrosion.
• Replacement: If a pole shows significant damage, bending, or severe rust, replace it immediately with an OEM Sportspower part to maintain safety standards.
