TRAMPOLINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care
To avoid damage to the trampoline, do not allow pets or animals inside the enclosure.
The trampoline is intended to be used by one person at a time who weighs no more than 60 pounds. The user
should be either barefoot, wearing socks, or wearing gymnastic shoes. Street shoes or tennis shoes should not be
worn on the trampoline. The user should remove all sharp objects from his or her person that may cause injury or
damage to the mat. Heavy, sharp, or pointed hard objects should never touch the mat.
Continued exposure over a long period of time to the sun, especially to ultraviolet rays, will shorten the life of the
fabric. A dry enclosure, properly stored, will provide the longest life of the fabric, sewing, and hardware.
MAINTENANCE
Your trampoline was manufactured using quality materials and crafted to provide you and your family with many
years of enjoyment and exercise. Proper maintenance and care will help to prolong the life of the trampoline
reduce the possibility of injury. The following guidelines should always be followed.
Inspect the trampoline before each use, and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts. The following
conditions could represent potential hazards and increase the danger of personal injury:
• missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached frame padding
• punctures, frays, tears, or holes worn in the mat, frame padding
• deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the mat, frame padding
• ruptured or missing elastic with ball
• bent or broken frame, leg
• sagging bed
• sharp protrusions on the frame, suspension system
If any of these conditions exist, the trampoline should be disassembled
(taken apart) or otherwise protected from being used until the condition
is fixed.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
High Wind
It is possible for the trampoline to be blown about by high winds. If you expect high winds, move the trampoline and to a
sheltered location. Tie the trampoline frame down to the ground using ropes and stakes (not included). At least three ropes
and three stakes should beused. Make sure to attach the ropes to the top of the trampoline frame.
The only sure method to protect your trampoline and the surrounding environment during high winds is to
completely disassemble the unit and store indoors.
Moving the Trampoline
If the trampoline needs to be moved, it should be moved by two persons, kept horizontal, and lifted slightly. If necessary,
the trampoline can be taken apart for moving. To take the trampoline apart, follow the assembly steps in reverse order (see
pages 11 to 13).
