IMPORTANT WARNINGS
3
Proper Play Conditions:
Always use the product in a well-lit area. Do not use without lighting during dawn, dusk or in complete
darkness!
The trampoline must be placed on a surface that is
COMPLETELY FLAT AND LEVEL
. If the ground is
uneven, this could cause movement in the frame and could cause stress on the joined sections of the frame
that could damage the trampoline and/or can cause serious injury.
DO NOT install or position this trampoline on a hard surface such as concrete, tarmac or paving. Suitable
surfaces are grass, sand or a play area covered with an appropriate depth of play bark material.
Children should be educated by responsible adults to always climb on and off the trampoline, and never
jump or bounce off. It is dangerous practice to jump or bounce from the trampoline when dismounting.
Never use springs or suspension elements as ‘hand grips’ when getting on and off the trampoline.
Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced manoeuvrers. A
variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic fundamentals in various series
and combinations, or performing one fundamental bounce after the other, with or without bounces
between them.
For further information or additional instructional material, contact the manufacturer or retailer. To learn
more advanced trampolining skills contact a suitable gymnastics/trampoline club.
Do not attempt or allow somersaults on the trampoline. Landing on your head or neck while doing
somersaults can cause serious injury, paralysis or even death.
Do not use the trampoline when wet. The mat will be slippery and make landing less sure.
Enclosure systems are designed to prevent users falling off the trampoline. Do not allow users to
intentionally bounce toward or off the barrier, as this can unbalance the trampoline and continual impact
may damage the enclosure.
Do not use a trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Balance, perception and
assessment of risk will be affected and may lead to injury.
Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects. Use the trampoline only for trampoline style
bouncing.
Focus your eyes on the edge of the trampoline. This will help control your bounce.
Place the trampoline on a flat level surface with impact attenuating properties such as grass and ensure
that it is sufficiently stable to prevent it from tipping over and/or blowing away. Sandbags or pegs may be
suitable anchorage devices.
Keep a minimum of 5 m overhead clearance when measured from the bed height to prevent users
inadvertently contacting overhead hazards such as electric wires, tree limbs and clotheslines.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 1.5 m on all sides of the trampoline. This area should not include
concrete, bitumen, brick or other hard surfaces as these can cause serious injuries if users fall off the
trampoline.
