CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CARE
MAINTENANCE
Your trampoline is manufactured using quality materials and is finely-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 observed.
Inspect the trampoline before each use, and replace any worn, defective or missing parts. The following conditions present
potential hazards and increase the danger of personal injury:
a. Punctures, holes or tears in the trampoline mat (bed).
b. Deterioration in any stitching of the mat (bed).
c. Bent or broken frame or legs.
d. Broken or missing springs.
e. Missing or insecurely attached frame pad.
f. Sagging jumping mat (bed).
g. Sharp protrusions on the frame or suspension system.
IF ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS EXIST, THE TRAMPOLINE SHOULD BE DISASSEMBLED OR OTHERWISE PRO-
TECTED AGAINST USE UNTIL THE CONDITION IS REMEDIED.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
WIND
It is possible for the trampoline to be blown about by a high wind. If you anticipate high winds, the trampoline should be
moved to a sheltered location, disassembled, or the round outside portion (top frame) should be tied to the ground using
rope and stakes. At least three tie-downs should be used. Do not simply secure the legs to the ground, as they can pull
out of the frame sockets.
Do not allow family
pets
on the trampoline, as claws may snag and pull the mat (bed) material or damage the frame pad.
The trampoline is intended to be used by
one person at a time
, weighing less than 180 pounds. The user should be
either barefoot, in 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 their person which may cause injury or damage to the trampoline mat
(bed). Heavy, sharp or pointed hard objects should not contact the mat (bed) surface.
Three point tie-down using
rope and tent stakes.
Joints
secured
with tape
MOVING the TRAMPOLINE
If you need to periodically move your trampoline all slip joints should be wrapped (secured) with a weather resistant tape
(i.e. duct tape). This will keep the frame intact and prevent the tubular elements from separating during the move. The
trampoline should be moved by at least two people,
kept horizontal and lifted slightly to move.
Disassemble the tram-
poline for any other type movement (see disassembly instructions on page 19).
