TP Genius Round Blue Trampoline with SurroundSafe
GENERAL
Your trampoline is designed to stand outside all year round and generally requires very little maintenance. However, a little
care and forethought can add years to your trampoline’s life. Remember that the bed (mat) and frame pads are made of
synthetic materials and are easily damaged by cigarette ends, fireworks and bonfire debris.
l
Check all nuts and bolts for tightness and tighten when required.
l
Check that all spring-loaded (pit pin) joints are still intact and cannot become dislodged during play.
l
Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges and replace when required.
l
Retain the maintenance instruction manual.
FRAME
Do not sit or stand on the frame or the frame pads while the trampoline is in use as this restricts the frames natural reflex
action. Oil or petroleum jelly applied where the springs hook into the frame will reduce squeaking and frame hole wear.
If surface rust appears it should be removed with either a wire brush or coarse sandpaper, and the area treated with a
non-toxic paint.
THE MAT
The mat (bed) will,over the years, be gradually weakened by the effects of ultra violet radiation. Therefore, the more it can be
protected from direct sunlight the longer it will last. A little mould or mildew should not harm the mat.
Do make sure that shoes are removed before bouncing and ensure that any other sharp objects such as belt buckles,
brooches and jewellery are removed too.
THE SPRINGS
Do not stand on the springs whilst the trampoline is in use. Try not to bounce on to the springs. They are not designed for
this sort of stress and can become stretched, misshapen and weakened. If you find you have any stretched springs, it is
important to replace them as soon as possible to avoid damage to the trampoline mat and avoid overloading and therefore
damaging the remaining good springs
FIRE RISKS AND DISPOSAL
Never allow toys to be placed or used near a fire. When it becomes necessary to dispose of your equipment, remove all
bolts and disassemble. Store out of the reach of children until it can be properly disposed of.
JUMPER’S ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
Education on the part of the user is a must for safety. Users must first learn a low controlled bounce and the basic landing
positions and combinations before proceeding to intermediate skills. Jumpers must understand why they have to master
“control” before they can start thinking about other moves. Understanding the proper progression of skills in jumping on a
trampoline must be the first lesson.
SUPERVISORS ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
It is the responsibility of the supervisors of trampoline users to provide knowledgeable and mature supervision. They need
to know and enforce all the rules and warnings set forth in this manual in order to minimize the likelihood of accidents and
injuries and to inform users of these rules. During periods of time when supervision is unavailable or inadequate, this may
require that the trampoline be disassembled, placed in a secure area, or otherwise secured against unauthorized use. It is
the responsibility of the supervisor to be sure that the users are fully aware of the safety guidelines which are printed on the
pads.
These instructions are issued in the interest of child safety, and we do ask you to follow our advice.
