WINTER CARE
Springfree trampolines are constructed with all weather parts, however, there are
several steps you can take to guard your trampoline from winter climate extremes.
1. If you anticipate severe or extreme weather, or your region has high snow falls, your
trampoline should be moved to a sheltered location or disassembled.
Regularly clear the snow from your trampoline. Do not allow snow or ice to accumu-
2.
late on the trampoline as this may shorten the life of the white mat rods. Damage
caused by excessive snow loads on the trampoline is not covered under warranty.
3. The most e ective tool to remove snow build up from your trampoline is a so
bristle broom. Do not use anything with sharp edges.
USER WARNINGS
Please read the following precautions carefully before you assemble and use the
trampoline and enclosure. Retain for future reference.
Do not exceed the maximum user weight. (Refer to information on the front panel of
1.
this manual and on the trampoline WARNING labels).
2. Children should be educated by responsible adults to always climb on and o the
trampoline, and never jump or bounce o . It is dangerous practice to jump or
bounce from a trampoline when dismounting. Never use rods or suspension
elements as hand grips when getting on or o the trampoline.
3. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects. Use the trampoline
only for trampoline style bouncing.
Bounce in the center of the mat.
4.
Stop bounce by flexing knees as feet come in contact with the trampoline bed. Learn
5.
this skill before attempting others.
6. Learn fundamental bounce and body positions thoroughly before trying more
advanced manoeuvres. A variety of trampolines activities can be carried out by
performing the basic fundamentals in various series and combination, or performing
one fundamental bounce a er the other, with or without bounces between them.
7. Avoid bouncing too high or for too long. Stay low until bounce control and repeated
landing in the center of the trampoline can be accomplished. Always control your
bounce. Control is more important than height. Do not try to jump over the enclo-
sure.
While keeping the head erect, focus eyes on the trampoline toward the perimeter.

This will help control your bounce.

line club.
10. Limit the time of continuous usage. Avoid jumping when tired.
