INFORMATION ON USE OF THE TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE

ALWAYS INSPECT THE TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE BEFORE EACH USE. MAKE SURE THE
FRAME PADDING IS CORRECTLY AND SECURELY POSITIONED AND REPLACE ANY WORN,
DEFECTIVE, OR MISSING PARTS. PLEASE BE AWARE OF:
• Punctures, holes, or tears in the trampoline mat.
• Sagging trampoline mat.
• Loose stitching or any kind of deterioration of the mat.
• Bent or broken frame parts, such as the legs.
• Broken, missing, or damaged springs.
• Damaged, missing, or insecurely attached frame pad.
• Protrusions of any types (especially sharp typed) on the frame, springs or mat.
• Be sure that netting is properly suspended, prior to each use. Tighten all clamps that are loose and make
sure that there is no damage to the netting.
IF YOU FIND ANY OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU FEEL COULD
CAUSE HARM TO ANY USER, THE TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE SHOULD BE DISASSEMBLED OR
SECURED FROM USE UNTIL THE ABOVE CONDITION(S) HAVE BEEN REPAIRED OR RESOLVED.
IN WINDY CONDITIONS:
In severe wind situations, the trampoline can be blown about. If you expect windy weather conditions, the
trampoline should be moved to a sheltered area or disassembled. Another option is to tie the round, outside
portion (top frame) of the trampoline to the ground using ropes and stakes. To ensure security, at least three
(3) tie downs should be used. Do not just secure the legs of the trampoline to the ground because they can
pull out the frame sockets.

USING A TRAMPOLINE:

Initially, you should get accustomed to the feel and bounce of the trampoline. The focus must be on the
fundamentals of your body position and you should practice each bounce (the basic bounces) until you can
do each skill with ease and control.

STOPPING:

To stop a bounce, all you need to do is lex your knees as your feet come in contact with the mat of the
trampoline. This technique should be practiced while you are learning each of the basic bounces. The skill of
stopping should be used whenever you lose balance or control of your jump.
Always learn the simplest bounce irst and be consistent with the control of your bounce before moving on to
more dificult and advanced bounces. A controlled bounce is one when your take off point and landing point
is the same spot on the mat. If you move up to the next bounce without irst mastering the previous, you
increase your chances of getting injured.
Do not bounce on the trampoline for extended periods of time because fatigue can increase your chances
of becoming injured. Bounce for a brief period of time and then allow others to join in on the fun! Never have
more than one person bouncing on the trampoline at a time. Jumpers should wear t-shirts, shorts or sweats
and be barefoot. If you are just beginning, you may want to wear long sleeve shirts and pants to protect
against scrapes and abrasions until you master correct landing positions and form. Do not wear hard sole
shoes, such as tennis shoes on the trampoline, as this will cause excessive wear on the mat material and
could cause you to slip.
You should always mount and dismount properly in order to avoid injury. To mount properly, you should place
your hand on the frame and either step or roll up onto the frame, over the springs, and onto the trampoline
mat. You should always remember to place your hands onto the frame while mounting or dismounting. Do
not step directly onto the frame pad or grasp the frame pad. To dismount properly, move over to the side
of the trampoline and place your hand onto the frame as a support and step from the mat to the ground.
Smaller children should be assisted when mounting and dismounting the trampoline.
Do not bounce recklessly on the trampoline since this will increase your chances of getting injured. The key
to safety and having fun on the trampoline is control and mastering the various bounces. Never try to out-
bounce another bouncer in terms of height! Never use the trampoline alone without supervision.
