HOIST
The hoists run on 110 or 220Volts. When the hoist is in use, double check that all ropes are
untangled and moving freely; this should be monitored constantly. Make sure that the hoist and
the hoist rope attached to it are in good working order. Never pull up with the hoist when the
knot or stitch on the jump rope end is closer than 2 inches to the pulley on the top pole. Stop
lowering motion of the hoist before the cable is loose. The operator should use the hoist to help
the jumper achieve the highest possible jump. Pull up the hoist while the jumper is in the
upward motion. Do this with extreme care and caution. Ideally, the jumper should never go
deeper than 4 to 6 inches into the trampoline. Always monitor the rope of the hoist for tautness
and that it is entering the hoist from the top. Finally, do not allow any uncertified or
unauthorized person to operate the hoist controls or be near the hoist at any time.
In case of Power-failure
grab the jumpers harness at the two carabiners at each side.. have a
second person unhook the elastics one by one.
Adjusting the limit switch.
New models have a limit switch disc. Connect the one of the thinnest elastic one each side of the
harness and pull it all the way up. When the end of the jumper rope pulls into the upper pulley (
on both sides) , that’s where the limit disc should hit the limit switch and push it down.
Tight the Screws in the disc so it can not travel along the winch rope or if it is a new Limit Disk
without any screws, just use two zip-ties on each side of the disc to fix its location.
This avoids that any operator can pull the rope too far up !
ATTENTION
Some Operators do lower down the Hoist too far and then keep on pushing the “DOWN” button
but actually are pulling the jumper up. The winch ropes winds up reverse and once the limit disc
hits the limit switch, it does not work ( it only works in one way) and the result is a breaking off
the alu-cast socket of the limit switch.
If it happens you have to connect both cables going to the limit switch in order to keep on
operation. Nevertheless, this is only a temporary solution for repair.

ELASTICS (POWERCORDS) & LOOPS
The elastics are the fundamental element of the EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE The elastics, in
conjunction with the harness, connect the jumper to the frame of the attraction and it is the
elastics system that allows the jumper to reach such incredible heights while simultaneously
providing the stability for acrobatic movement. This elastic system allows for the various weight
ranges of the jumpers, which must be between 20 and 200 pounds. The elastics should be
monitored constantly for signs of wear and tear. Should a Powercord break or look worn, replace
immediately . The elastics should be inspected daily and replaced as required for optimal use and
safety. If at anytime the interior cords are visible through the protective sheath of the Powercord
the cord must be retired. The supervisor/manager will keep a log of Powercord installation dates
(See Appendix A) to ensure proper replacement as scheduled. Only use elastics supplied by
EuroBungy; do not use any other elastic system. Failure to do so will void the warranty and
