6. Assembly and maintenance instructions
6.1 Assembly
• Do not install the trampoline in extreme windy conditions. Wait until wind subsides.
• Gloves are recommended to be worn while installing the BERG trampoline.
• Ensure the BERG trampoline is level after installation. A bubble level is recommended to help
qualify.
• The trampoline should be assembled by an adult in accordance to the assembly instructions.
BERG recommends reviewing final assembly prior to usage.
• Assembling of the trampoline comprises of fasteners and fittings with self-locking nuts.
These self-locking nuts are for single use only. When disassembling and reassembling, the
self-locking nuts must be replaced.
• Location: Find a suitable place for the installation of the trampoline ensuring there are no
surrounding obstacles. Verify soil condition and characteristics of designated location to
determine installation suitability.
• While digging the hole, soil should be firm to avoid collapsing due to erosion. If necessary,
strengthen the sides of the hole or make them smooth to prevent this.
• Should the soil hinder digging a hole, best to choose another location or consult a
professional excavation company to provide consultation.
• The dug hole should not contain water.
• Verify if a high ground-water level does not contribute to a collection of water in the hole. In
addition, verify there is adequate drainage to dispose rain water.
• As per the diagram in the installation manual, use the included tape measure (located in the
packaging) to measure and determine the correct diameter, depth and shape of the dug hole.
• Ensure the hole will be dug according to specifications and that the walls are shaped not too
steep.
• Deviation from hole specifications can result in unwanted wall collapse and trampline
instability. Follow the diagrams as presented in the installation manual, step by step.
• The legs of the trampoline support the trampoline frame. Ensure the position of the legs are
equal in height and rest firmly on the ground. Anchor the legs with the supplied stakes.
• For installation instructions, refer to page 4.
• For additional trampoline information, contact the manufacturer.
• Install accessories according to the installation manual /guide.
6.2 Maintenance instructions
As described in the assembly manual, inspect the BERG trampoline before each usage and
replace broken, worn or missing parts. Ignoring inspections and neglecting maintenance can lead
to dangerous situations and unnecessary risks for the user.
Inspect the hole underneath the trampoline periodically. (Minimum once per year) and if required,
take corrective measures. As specified in the installation manual, inspect the hole for:
• Proper depth.
• Proper shape.
• Frame stability and uniformity.
• Unwanted objects.
After a rainy period and prior to usage, inspect the trampoline hole. Ensure there is adequate
drainage to dispose of rain water.
Should the trampoline require movement to another current location (short distance),
disassemble the anchors (if any) first prior to relocation. It is recommended the trampoline
be lifted via the top rails by 3 adults. Should the trampoline require relocation over a greater
distance, it is recommended to disassemble the trampoline parts, re-pack in the original
packaging and assemble again at the new location.
