TRAMPOLINE IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
! WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious
injury, read and follow all of the warnings, precau-
tions, and instructions in this manual before you
assemble (put together) and use the trampoline.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner and supervisors of
this trampoline to make sure all users obey the safety
instructions printed in this manual.
2. Be sure the trampoline is on a level surface before
you use it.
3. Be sure there is enough clear space above the trampo-
line before you use it. It is best to have at least 24 feet
of clear space above the ground. This space must be
clear of wires, tree limbs, and any other possible haz-
ards.
4. Lateral (sidewise) clearance is very important. Place
the trampoline where it is not near walls, buildings,
fences, sidewalks, and other play areas. Always keep
a clear space on all sides of the trampoline.
5. Use the trampoline in an area with lots of light. If the
trampoline is in a shady area, you may need to use
artificial (electrical) lighting in the area.
6. Be sure to have authorization from the owners of the
trampoline. Always have someone there to supervise
when it is being used. If you use a ladder to get on the
trampoline, be sure it is removed when the trampoline
is not being used.
7. Always inspect the trampoline before it is used and
replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
(Jumpers may be hurt if the trampoline is used when
it is in poor condition.)
8. Remove any objects from under the trampoline.
9. This trampoline is made for users who do not weigh
more than 250 pounds. Children less than 6 years old
should not jump on it.
10. Do not let more than one person jump on the tram-
poline at the same time. Two or more people jumping
at the same time can cause someone to be badly hurt.
11. If you do not use the trampoline correctly someone
can be seriously hurt.
12. The trampoline should only be used with a proper
understanding of the safety precautions, and under
adult supervision.
13. Always climb onto and off of the trampoline. Never
jump onto it or off of it. Do not use the trampoline to
bounce you to other objects.
14. You can get hurt if you hit the frame or fall through
the springs when you get onto or off of the trampo-
line, or when you are jumping on it. Stay in the center
of the mat when jumping. Be sure the frame pad is
securely in place to cover the trampoline frame before
you use it. The frame pad is not made to support your
weight. Never step or jump directly onto the frame
pad.
15. The trampoline is a bouncing device that bounces
the jumper higher than he is used to jumping. It can
also cause many different body movements than the
jumper is used to. Bouncing off of the trampoline, hit-
ting the frame or springs, or landing on the mat
wrong can cause the jumper to get hurt.
16. Do not try to do somersaults, or let someone else do
somersaults, as it can cause a broken head, neck,
back, or leg. Even if you land in the middle of the
mat, landing on your head or neck can cause you to
be badly hurt, become paralyzed, or even die.
17. Jumpers who lose control of their jump may land on
the mat wrong, land on the frame or springs, or fall
off of the trampoline. Trying to do stunts you don’t
know how to do can cause you to get hurt.
18. Do not use the trampoline if you have been using
alcohol or drugs. These things cause you to not be
able to move as fast, have poor judgment, and have
poor physical coordination.
19. Do not jump on the trampoline while you have or
are holding something, especially something that is
sharp or breakable.
20. Bounce only when the top of the mat is dry. There
should be little or no air movement. The trampoline
must not be used in gusty or strong winds.
