Step 13: Attaching the next two rods
to the mat
Moving from right to left, count fourteen empty
sockets in the edge of the mat. Mount numbers
fourteen and fteen onto the rods either side
of the next frame joint. (This leaves thirteen
unconnected rods between groups)

fteenth) rods

Tip: Push the rod in
with your right hand,
palm facing up, and
with your elbow to
hip, while pulling
the mat socket left
and up with the left
hand. This method
uses your body
weight to ex the rods
(rather than pure arm
strength), and it also
keeps your face away
from the loaded rods
(Figure 13-B).
Tip: It is easiest to
mount the rod ball
to the tting by
pushing the rod in
and up towards the
mat, while pulling the
mat tting to the left.
The ball then pushes
back naturally into
the tting (some rods
will need to be bent a
long way at rst).
Step 14: Attaching every fourteenth
and fteenth rod to the mat
Continue around the tramp from right to left,
mounting every fourteenth and fteenth mat
socket on to the rods on either side of each
frame joint.
Ensure that each ball is properly resting in the
mat socket and that the safety clip has closed
behind the ball (See Step 12).

Tip:
If you miscount, and need to release a
connected rod, release the clip before trying to
disconnect the ball from the mat socket. The
clip is released by pushing the lever towards
the mat centre. Apply pressure on the rod until
it is unloaded (Figure 14-B).

WARNING: Treat any loaded rod
with caution until you are sure it is
properly installed or uninstalled.
Keep your face well away from any
loaded rod.
