CARE & MAINTENANCE
Inspect the trampoline before each use and make sure that all parts are correctly fitted together:
• Check screws and nut joints.
• Check straps, ropes and the safety net assembly.
• Check that all spring-clips (pit pins) are still intact and cannot become dislodged during play.
Before each season and on regular basis make sure to inspect the condition of:
• The frame parts.
• The foam pad (fabric, stitching, attachments to the frame).
• The jump mat (no tears or small holes, the stiching and material in the spring attachment areas.)
• The springs.
• The safety net, its top rim and the safety net poles.
Note that sunlight, rain, snow and extreme temperatures reduce the strength of these parts over time. If the
above checks are not carried out the trampoline could become dangerous. Make sure to replace defective or
missing parts.
To order original North Trampoline spare parts, please contact your local dealer.
If any parts of the trampoline are exchanged or updated they should be installed according to the assembly
manual of the trampoline. The new or added parts may have their own instructions for attachment and correct
installation. Be sure to carefully follow these instructions and apply them accordingly.
Check all coverings of bolts for sharp edges and replace them if necessary. If self locking nuts are used it should
be noted that these are suitable for only one assembly and must be replaced for reassembly.
When cleaning the jump mat be sure to first remove the debris with a broom. Use a garden hose and cold
water to clean any remaining dirt. The padding can be wiped with mild detergent to remove dirt from seams
and pockets. Make sure to clean the padding from any detergent residue. The trampoline can dry naturally in
the sun.
During winter season the soft parts of the trampoline such as the foam pad should be kept in room temperature
and away from moisture. To avoid mold make sure to dry the soft parts thoroughly before storage. Preferrably,
all metal parts should be stored inside for longer durability.
The trampoline should be equipped with an approved anchor set from North Trampoline to prevent displace-
ment due to wind. In strong wind conditions always remove the safety net and jump mat. This prevents the
trampoline from moving or flipping and further keeps your trampoline from damage.
To disassemble the trampoline, follow the assembly manual in reverse. As for the safety net poles, detach them
from the frame but keep sleeves, protective foam and top caps still assembled. This will save you some time for
the next assembly. Use gloves to protect your hands from injury during disassembly.
Replace the safety net after 3 years.
Retain these instructions for continued care and maintenance.
