Care for your trampoline
When it is strong wind or rain secure the trampoline by anchoring it or dismount it
and store in safe place. When anchoring both, the upper and bottom parts of the
trampoline must be secured.
Only qualified persons are allowed to carry out any repairs using genuine spare
parts. Unprofessional interventions may reduce service life of the trampoline. Du-
ring cold and rainy days move the trampoline to a place where it will be protected
from extreme temperatures and sunlight.
If you do not plan to use the trampoline, disassemble and store it. Frame service
life can be prolonged by lubrication, for instance by mineral jelly or other lubrica-
nts. Do not forget the holes, springs and connection points. For cleaning use only
damp cloth without chemicals or other abrasives.
Safety mesh should be changed every two years.
Basic jumping techniques
Try to fall to the same place from which you have jumped out. Jump always to the
trampoline centre. Incorrect jumping technique may result in injury and on that
ground study carefully the following chapter.
Basic jump
• Start from standing position, with
straddled legs away to the width of
shoulders, with eyes aimed to jum-
ping surface
• Swing your hands forward and turn
them upwards
• In height put your soles together
• During fall straddle your legs away
again to the width of shoulders.
Breaking maneuvre
• When a jumping person is losing
control he or she may gain it again by
breaking manoeuvre
• Start with the basic jump but when
falling bend your knees - in this way
your jump will be interrupted.
