TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CARE
To avoid damage to the trampoline and enclosure, 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 200 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
enclosure fabric. For longer fabric life, store the enclosure when it is not being used. A dry enclosure, properly
stored, will provide the longest life of the fabric, sewing, and hardware. Remove the enclosure from the trampoline
during harsh weather conditions or during long periods of non-use.
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 and
reduce the possibility of injury. The following guidelines should always be followed.
Inspect the trampoline enclosure 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, netting, enclosure tubes, or foam sleeves
• punctures, frays, tears, or holes worn in the mat, frame padding, netting or foam sleeves
• deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the mat, frame padding or netting
• ruptured or missing springs
• bent or broken frame, leg or enclosure tubes
• sagging bed or netting
• sharp protrusions on the frame, suspension system or enclosure tubes
If any of these conditions exist, the trampoline and/or enclosure 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 and enclosure to be blown about by high winds. If you expect high winds, move the
trampoline and enclosure to a sheltered location. Disassemble (take down) the enclosure netting. Tie the trampoline
frame down to the ground using ropes and stakes (not included). At least three ropes and three stakes should be
used. Make sure to attach the ropes to the top of the trampoline frame: do not simply secure the legs or the bases to the
ground as they can separate from the frame sockets.The tops of the stakes should be at ground level so that they will
not create a tripping hazard. In addition, the tops of the stakes should be covered, if necessary, so that users will not be
hurt by falling onto the stakes.
The only sure method to protect your trampoline and the surrounding environ-
ment during high winds is to completely disassemble the unit and store indoors.
Moving the Trampoline and Enclosure
If the trampoline and enclosure needs to be moved, it should be moved by two persons, kept horizontal, and lifted
slightly. If necessary, the trampoline and enclosure can be taken apart for moving. To take the trampoline apart, follow
the assembly steps in reverse order (see pages 15 to 23). Do not attempt to take the frame sections, legs, or bases apart
before the mat and springs have been removed.
