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 TP 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.
