CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
GENERAL -
Your trampoline is designed to stand outside all year round and generally requires very
little maintenance. However, a little car and forethought can add years to your trampoline's life.
Remember that the bed (mat) and frame pads are made of synthetic materials and are easily
damaged by cigarette ends, fireworks and bonfire debris.
FRAME -
Do not sit or stand on the frame or the frame pads while the trampoline is in use as this
restricts the frame's natural reflex action. Oil or petroleum jelly applied where the springs hook into
the frame will reduce squeaking and frame hole wear. If surface rust appears it should be removed
with either a wire brush or coarse sandpaper, and the are treated with non toxic paint.
FRAME PADS -
Frame pads are there to protect the user from any fall or landing on the springs and
frame. On no account should people be permitted to sit or stand on them when the trampoline is in
use. You should also make sure that smaller users do not use the inside edges of the pads as a
handle when getting up on the trampoline.
THE MAT (BED) -
The mat will over the years , be gradually weakened by the effects of ultra violet
radiation. Therefore, the more it can be protected from direct sunlight the longer it will last. A little
mould or mildew should not harm the mat. Do make sure that shoes are removed prior to bouncing
and ensure any other sharp objects like belt buckle, brooches and jewellery are removed too.
THE SPRINGS -
Do not stand on the springs whilst the trampoline is in use. Try not to bounce on the
to the springs. They are not designed for this sort of stress and can become stretched, misshapen
and weakened. If you find you have any stretched springs, it is important to replace them as soon as
possible to avoid damage to the trampoline mat and avoid overloading and therefore damaging the
remaining good springs.
Trampoline Placement:
Just to clarify again the minimum overhead clearance required is 26 feet (8 meters). Ensure that no
hazards or obstructions are near the trampoline such as tree branches, swing sets, swimming pools,
electrical power wires, walls, fences etc.
Please be aware of the following when selecting a place for your trampoline:
Trampoline must be placed on a level surface
The area should be well lit
All obstructions from overhead, underneath or around the trampoline must be removed
Do not use the trampoline indoors
Do not use the trampoline on any slippery floor surface, uneven or sloping ground surface
Do not site the trampoline on hard surfaces like concrete as this will damage the frame
