ABOUT YOUR NEW RESILITE
LITEWEIGHT MAT
Your Resilite LiteWeight Mat Surface:
Each Resilite LiteWeight Mat is custom manufactured
with a vinyl-coated top surface. This surface is the same,
durable vinyl-coating surface that we have used on our
Classic Resilite mats for over 60 years.
ROLLING YOUR MATS
NOTE:
Always roll and unroll
the mats with the vinyl surface
inward. Resilite LiteWeight
Mats are coated on one side
(the wrestling surface side) and
have closed cell foam on the
sides and bottom of the mat.
Take notice to how the mat has
been rolled and shipped, with
the vinyl surface inward. Forcing the mat to roll in the opposite
direction, foam inward, will damage the foam and vinyl surface.
MAT SIZE:
All foam mats are subject to expansion
and contraction due to environmental
and physical conditions.
Because of the physical properties of the foam used,
LiteWeight Mats will not shrink,
however,
they are
subject to minimal size variances of less than 1%.
Resilite guarantees that our LiteWeight Mats will be
manufactured within a +/-1% tolerance of the overall mat
size ordered.
Wrestling referee and
starting lines:
Referee/starting lines are positioned
with one line aligned along the center
of the mat and the other line extending
(dropping) 10” away in the direction of
the scoring table (see diagram). Resilite
places the red marking on the right and
the green marking on the left, as if you are standing with
your back to the scoring table and it is positioned at the
bottom (south end) of the mat.
WARNING
