ASSEMBLY STEPS
Please see illustrations at the end of the manual for further assembly instructions.
I
Assembly of spring:
1. Place L1 (15) element between first and second scroll of spring (K). Pay attention for correct positioning of the bracket
(refer to point 5).
2. Place L1 (14) element between second and third scroll of spring. Tilt at an angle L1 (14) element and insert it into L1
(15) element. Push the whole until it's blocked. Pay attention for correct positioning of the bracket (refer to point 5).
3. Place L2 (17) element between first and second scroll of spring. Pay attention for correct positioning of the bracket
(refer to point 5).
4. Assemble from the bottom of spring elements L1 (16) and L2 (18).
5. Before proceeding to point 6, please check correct positioning of all brackets. Marks on all brackets should be located
inside of the spring toward the closer end of the spring. On corresponding drawing no.5 shown correct bracket's posi-
tioning and examples of its wrong positioning.
6. Assemble spring with anchor (M) by using 4x hardware set no. 10 (L3). Screw on the nuts with the ratchet spanner.
7. Place L1 (15) element between first and second scroll of spring (K) (looking from the top). Pay attention for correct po-
sitioning of the bracket (refer to point 11).
8. Place L1 (14) element between second and third scroll of spring (looking from the top). Tilt at an angle L1 (14) element
and insert it into J1 (15) element. Push the whole until it's blocked. Pay attention for correct positioning of the brack-
et(refer to point 11).
9. Place L2 (17) element between first and second scroll of spring (looking from the top). Pay attention for correct posi-
tioning of the bracket (refer to point 11).
10. Assemble from the top of spring elements L1 (16) and L2 (18).
11. Before proceeding to point 12, please check correct positioning of all brackets. Marks on all brackets should be located
inside of the spring toward the closer end of the spring. On corresponding drawing no.11 shown correct bracket's posi-
tioning and examples of its wrong positioning.
12. Assembly spring with suspension frame (G) by using hardware set no. 10 (L3). Screw on the nuts with the ratchet
spanner.
IIa Assembly of spring and flat anchor:
1. Find a suitable location to install the spring animal. See FIG II. After installation the concrete foundation will need to be
covered with a shock absorbing surface. The use of rubber tiles is recommended.
2. Place the anchor (M-a) horizontally, using the spirit level, at the desired location and mark the holes.
3. Drill the 4 holes of 90 mm deep.
4. Remove the dust out of the drilled holes.
5. Put the 4 wedge anchors (N) in the holes.
6. Screw on the nuts of the 4 wedge anchors (N) with the ratchet spanner.
IIb Assembly of spring and concrete anchor:
1. Find a suitable location to install the spring animal. Do not dig holes in loose soil or sand. The soil should be stable and
compacted to provide proper support. See FIG II.
2. Dig a hole for the anchor of the metallic spring pedestal (M-b). The hole needs to be 700 mm wide at the bottom and
400 mm deep.
3. Flatten the bottom of the hole and stamp with your feet. Place the metallic spring pedestal (M-b) straight up in the hole.
The best way is to use a spirit level. You can fix this position by putting a heavy stone or brick on the lower plate.
4. Mix enough concrete to fill the hole. Be careful to follow the manufacturers instructions. Pour concrete into the hole. Be
careful to keep the spring and upper side top plate free of concrete. Make sure the spring is straight using a spirit level.
5. Allow concrete to set overnight before going to step 6.
6. Cover the visible concrete with soil so that the complete ground level is flat again. Make sure the ground is covered in
a suitable way (eg. rubber tiles, bark, wood chips,...).
III Assembly of the spring toy:
1. Assembly the excavator arm (C) with right and left support (I and J) to the suspension frame (G) by using hardware
set no. 3 (H3) and 6 (H6).
2. Assembly the bucket (F) and handgrip (H2) by using hardware set no. 2 (H2) and 5 (H5).
3. Assembly right and left caterpillars (A and B) to the suspension frame (G) with the footrest (D) mounted in between.
Use hardware set no. 1 (H1) and 4 (H4).
4. Attach the seating (E) to the suspension frame (G) by using hardware set no. 7 (H7).
Remark: The soil under the spring animal requires an adjusted surface that is shock absorbing!
