Anchoring
Due to the extreme variations of installations, anchor line and
anchor are NOT included with the trampolines or bouncers and
must be purchased separately. Consult with local authorities
regarding any specific anchoring restrictions in your area.
ImpORTANT NOTe
•
Choose a location
that is most protected from the wind and a minimum depth of
8 to 10 ft. Check that your location is free from obstructions including logs, sand bars
and rocks. Always anchor a safe distance from docks or piers.
•
A minimum of 150 lbs. to 200 lbs
. is usually sufficient to anchor your trampoline. Use
more weight if needed. Larger water trampolines with attachments may require more
then 200 lbs.
•
most water park attachments
(island Runners, Double Blasters) will require a separate
anchor of 50 lbs. or more. All island Hopper attachments will have D-rings on the
bottom to attach the anchor rope.
•
Use 2, 3 or 4 anchors.
We suggest 50 lb. marine Boat Anchors or two cinder blocks on
each rope. Tie rope off to the D-ring connections located around the outside or on the
inside of your water trampoline.
•
You can attach a shock cord
(bungie cord) to the anchor line to absorb movements
due to waves and general use. Add some rope slack to improve anchor
holding performance.
•
If you expect strong winds or severe weather,
pull the trampoline out of the water and
secure or deflate on shore. Tie off to a stake on shore with a float attached if needed to
keep from blowing away. Keep this line away from users.
•
DO NOT SWIm OR plAY UNDeR THe TRAmpOlINe.
Tip: Tie off the trampoline to a stake or dock so to avoid a strong wind from blowing it away.
If you expect strong winds, pull the trampoline out of the water and secure or deflate on shore.
