GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 

Maximum User Weight Limit 

The  trampoline  has  been  designed  to  allow  for  the  safe  use  by  a  single  person  at  a  time.  It  is 
recommended that the user does not exceed the maximum user weight rating. 

Pre-Use Checks 

The pre-use checks in this manual will highlight any ongoing repairs required or items to be addressed 
that will preserve the life of the trampoline. See the following for some additional ongoing care tips. 

Frame  

The frame works best on a level surface; if the trampoline 

is used on a surface that’s not level the frame 

will  need  to  absorb  uneven  localised  loads  that  could  be above  the  design  capacity.  Ensure  the  leg 
bottoms are on the ground evenly to keep the loads evenly distributed.  

Frame Corrosion 

The steel parts are primarily protected from corrosion by a galvanised coating, this, however, can be 
affected by some substances e.g. some soils are very acidic, salt mist can be corrosive. The galvanised 
layer is, by design, a sacrificial coating and a scratch through this surface to the base steel will still be 
protected. Any deterioration of a damaged area of the galvanised coating can be prevented further by 
applying a suitable aftermarket spray paint. 

Bed (Mat) & Pads 

Residual substances from salt water, dust storms, chemical spraying, etc. on the trampoline surface 
can cause rapid wear or create an abrasive surface for the user, simply wash off with cold water and let 
it dry before using the trampoline.  

Bed (Mat) Use 

The bed and suspension system are designed to last well if most of the jumping is primarily done in the 
centre and is not overloaded. Abrasive items like dirt or sand accelerate wear if on the bed while jumping. 

Date of Purchase

 

Record your purchase date here

Note:  The  trampoline  components  deteriorate  naturally  with  use  and  time  in  the  environmental 
conditions such as sunlight, rain, salt and heat. Also bear in mind that unexpected mishaps from misuse, 
extreme  weather  and  other  causes  can  have  an  immediate  effect  on  the  safe  condition  of  the 
trampoline.  It  is  important  that  you  inspect  the  trampoline  before  each  use  and  replace  any  worn, 
defective  or  missing  parts  before  further  use.  Use  only  parts  that  are  recommended  by  the 
manufacturer. Consider below when doing pre-use or regular maintenance checks.   

Potential Hazards of Trampoline Components 

Trampoline Frame 

Trampoline Bed (Jumping mat)

the bed and its edge system. 

Padding insecurely attached or 
not positioned correctly. 

Sharp protrusions on the 
frame. 

Sagging of the bed. 

Damage, punctures, frays, tears 
or holes in the padding. 

Broken, missing or over 
stretched springs. 

Sharp protrusions in the suspension 
system elements e.g. damaged or 
broken springs. 

Stitching or padding fabric
