WINDY CONDITIONS

In severe wind situations, the trampoline can be blown about. If you expect windy weather conditions, the trampoline should be moved to a sheltered area or be disassembled. Another option is to tie the round, outside portion (top frame) of the trampoline to the ground using ropes and stakes. To ensure security, at least four (4) tie downs should be used. Do not just secure the legs of the trampoline to the ground because they can be pulled out of the frame sockets.

TRAMPOLINES OVER 20 IN. (51CM) TALL ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN UNDER 6 YEARS OF AGE.

DO NOT USE INDOORS.

IMPORTANT !

READ IT! Failure to follow these instructions to ensure proper operational condition of your trampoline may lead to serious injury or death. Do not allow more than one person on the trampoline at a time.

1. Maintenance of Trampoline Enclosure Net and Pad

Enclosure net and pad are prone to wear and tear like tires on a car. Gradual deterioration of the material will occur, the speed of which will depend on the level of exposure to UV rays, airborne pollution, and outdoor weather conditions such as rain and wind.

The net and pad need to be properly maintained and checked by following the Maintenance Schedule set out in these instructions. When the material shows any signs of weakness, you must stop using the trampoline immediately, properly store the trampoline and restrict access by users until a new replacement net or pad is properly installed.

2. Maintenance Requirement for Enclosure Net

Your trampoline enclosure netting is manufactured with UV resistant material. Despite this the netting is exposed to the outdoor elements including sunlight, wind, rain and wildlife.

The net surrounding the trampoline must be checked prior to each use. This includes, but is not limited to inspecting the net for cracks, excess wear, brittleness, stretching, all connections and for overall integrity. The net must be immediately replaced if it shows any signs of wear, damage, being stretched, cracked, loose, brittle or otherwise loses any integrity. The following Maintenance Schedule must be followed:

1 to 3 Months 3 to 6 Months 6 to 12 Months Thorough inspection for UV damage and prior to every use for net.

Thorough inspection for UV damage and prior to every use for net, net hanger and straps.

Thorough inspection before every use on net, net hanger, straps, zippers, ties and strings. Replace after 12 months or earlier

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE NET BE REPLACED ON A YEARLY BASIS OR EARLIER UNDER NORMAL USE, EVEN IF IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE.

INFORMATION ON USE OF THE TRAMPOLINE

 Initially, you should get accustomed to the feel and bounce of the trampoline. The focus must be

on the fundamentals of your body position and you should practice each bounce (the basic bounces) until you can do each skill with ease and control.

 To break a bounce, all you need to do is flex your knees sharply before they come in

contact with the mat of the trampoline. This technique should be practiced while you are

learning each of the basic bounces. The skill of braking should be used whenever you lose balance or control of your jump.

 Always learn the simplest bounce first and be consistent with the control of your bounce before

moving on to more difficult and advanced bounces. A controlled bounce is one when your take off point and landing point is the same spot on the mat. If you move up to the next bounce without first mastering the previous, you increase your chances of getting injured.

 Do not bounce on the trampoline for extended periods of time because fatigue can increase your

chances of becoming injured. Bounce for a brief period of time and then allow others to join in on the fun! Never have more than one person bouncing on the trampoline.

 Jumpers should wear clothing free of drawstrings, hooks, loops or anything that could get caught

while using the trampoline/enclosure and result in entanglement or strangulation, or both. If you are just beginning, you may want to wear long sleeve shirts and pants to protect against

scrapes and abrasions until you master correct landing positions and form. Do not wear hard sole shoes, such as tennis shoes on the trampoline, as this will cause excessive wear on the mat material.

 You should always mount and dismount properly in order to avoid injury. To mount properly, you

should PLACE your hand on the frame and either step or roll up onto the frame, over the springs, and onto the trampoline mat. You should always remember to place your hands onto the frame while mounting or dismounting. Do not step directly onto the frame pad or grasp the frame pad. To dismount properly, move over to the side of the trampoline and place your hand onto the frame as a support and step from the mat to the ground. Smaller children should be assisted when mounting and dismounting the trampoline.

 Do not bounce recklessly on the trampoline since this will increase your chances of getting

injured. The key to safety and having fun on the trampoline is control and mastering the various bounces. Never try to out-bounce another bouncer in terms of height! Never use the trampoline alone without supervision.

ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION

Mounting and dismounting: Be very careful when getting on and off the trampoline. DO NOT mount the trampoline by grabbing the frame pad, stepping onto the springs, or by jumping onto the mat of the trampoline from any object (i.e. a deck, roof, or ladder). This will increase your chances of getting injured! DO NOT dismount by jumping off the trampoline and landing on the ground, regardless of the makeup of the ground. If small children are playing on the trampoline, they may need help in mounting and dismounting.

Use of alcohol or Drugs: DO NOT consume any alcohol or drugs when using this trampoline! This will increase your chances of getting injured since these foreign substances might impair your judgments, reaction time, and overall physical coordination.

Multiple Jumpers: If you have multiple jumpers (more than one person on the trampoline at any one time), you increase the chances of getting injured. Injuries could occur when you fly off the trampoline, lose control, collide with the other jumper(s) or land on the springs. Generally, the lightest person on the trampoline will get injured.

Striking the Frame or Springs: When playing on the trampoline, STAY in the center of the mat. This will reduce the risk of getting injured by landing on the frame or springs. Always ensure that the frame pad covers the frame of the trampoline. DO NOT jump or step onto the frame pad directly since it was not intended to support the weight of a person.

Loss of Control: DO NOT try difficult maneuvers, or any maneuver until you have mastered the previous maneuver, or if you are just learning how to jump on a trampoline. If you do, you will increase the risk of getting injured by landing on the frame, springs or off the trampoline completely because you might lose control of your jump. A controlled jump is considered landing on the same spot that you took off from. If you do lose control when you are jumping on the trampoline, bend your knees sharply when you land and this will allow you to regain control and stop your jump.

Somersaults (Flips): DO NOT PERFORM somersaults of any type (backwards or forwards) on this trampoline, if you make a mistake when trying to perform a somersault, you could land on your head or neck. This will increase your chances of getting your neck or back broken, which will result in death or paralysis, even when landing in the middle of the trampoline mat.

Foreign Objects: DO NOT use the trampoline if there are pets, other people, or any objects underneath the trampoline. This will increase the chances of an injury occurring. DO NOT hold any foreign objects in your hand and DO NOT place any objects on the trampoline while anyone is playing on it. Please be aware of what is overhead when you are playing on the trampoline. Tree limbs, wires, of other objects located over the trampoline will increase your chances of getting injured.

Poor Maintenance of Trampoline: A trampoline in poor condition will increase your risk of getting injured. Please inspect the trampoline before each use for bent steel tubes, torn mat, loose or broken springs, and overall stability of the trampoline.

Weather Conditions: Please be aware of the weather conditions when using the trampoline. If the mat of the trampoline is wet, the jumper could slip and injure him or herself. If it is too windy, jumpers could lose control.

Limiting Access: When the trampoline is not in use, always store the access ladder in a secure place so that children cannot play on the trampoline unsupervised.

TIPS TO REDUCE THE RISK ACCIDENTS

Jumper’s role in accident prevention The key here is to stay in control of your jumps. DO NOT move onto more complicated, more difficult maneuvers until you have mastered the basic, fundamental bounce. Education is also key to safety and very important. Read, understand, and practice all safety precautions and warnings prior to using the trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land and take off from the same location. For additional safety tips and instructions, contact a certified trampoline instructor.

Supervisor’s Role in Accident Prevention Supervisors need to understand and enforce all safety rules and guidelines. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to provide knowledgeable advice and guidance to all jumpers of the trampoline. If supervision is unavailable or inadequate, the trampoline could be stored in a secure place, disassembled to prevent unauthorized use, or covered with a heavy tarp that can be locked or secured with lock or chains. The supervisor is also responsible to ensure that the safety placard is placed on the trampoline and that jumpers are informed of these warnings and instructions.

Supervisors need to understand and enforce all safety rules and guidelines. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to provide knowledgeable advice and guidance to all jumpers of the trampoline. If supervision is unavailable or inadequate, the trampoline should be stored in a secure place, disassembled to prevent unauthorized use or covered with a heavy tarp that can be locked or secured with lock or chains. The supervisor is also responsible to ensure that the safety placard is placed on the trampoline that jumpers are informed of these warnings and instructions.
