Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum of 26.25 ft from ground level is recommended.
Provide clearance for wires, tree limbs, and other possible hazards.
Do not use the trampoline when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication, which may impair the
jumper’s judgment.
Always consult Do not use the trampoline if you have high blood pressure. Do not use the trampoline if you have a medical history of neck or back injuries or mental or physical
conditions that could cause injury.
your physician before performing any kind of physical activity.
Do not use if the user has any broken bones (casts) or has recently been in the hospital for extensive
treatments (operations, severe wounds, stitches, back injury or concussion).
Do not use without the consent of your physician, if pregnant.
Do not use the trampoline indoors, as this product is intended for outdoor home use only.
Do not use the trampoline during windy conditions or if the user or the trampoline surface is wet. These
conditions can cause the user to lose control and fall resulting in serious injury.
The product must not be used in windy conditions as wind can cause unexpected movement of the
product. Wind can cause the trampoline to be lifted off the ground and become airborne. This can present a danger to individuals and to property. Winds can be especially strong in open areas, foothills, mountains, locations subject to hurricanes and tornadoes, areas between homes that create wind tunnels and anywhere else where local weather conditions can create high winds. We recommend that you anchor the trampoline or otherwise secure the trampoline to prevent it from moving as a result of the wind. One possible way to anchor the trampoline is to secure the trampoline to a concrete footing under each leg. We recommend consulting a local licensed contractor to best determine how the anchor system should be constructed for your specific conditions. The licensed contractor can also advise you of other options such as below ground installation. Even with anchors, a trampoline can be lifted, just like anything else, by strong winds. If the winds are anticipated to be very strong, the trampoline should be disassembled and stored away safely until the weather conditions improve. Damage from the wind or other severe weather is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Because the manufacturer warranty does not cover wind or weather related damage and damage can be caused to your property or the property of others by a windblown trampoline, it is strongly advised that you provide site specific anchoring through a licensed local contractor.

Appropriate Use Conditions:
Children must always be supervised while they are playing on the trampoline and must be instructed not to
use the trampoline in an inappropriate or hazardous manner. Take precautions to prevent access to the trampoline by children when there is no adult supervision.
Restrict access to the trampoline by any unauthorized users without your consent. Trampolines are rebounding devices, which propel the user to unaccustomed heights, and into a variety of
body movements. Rebounding off of the trampoline, striking the frame or springs, or improperly landing on the trampoline mat may cause serious injury.
Always start and maintain your jump at the center of the trampoline mat in order to reduce the risk of
landing on the frame or springs or falling off the trampoline.
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and land consistently in the middle of
the trampoline mat.
Ensure the trampoline frame and springs are fully covered by the frame pad to avoid any direct contact with
metal parts.
Do not stand or jump on the springs while using the trampoline. The springs are not designed to support
such stress and weight. This can result in serious injuries and/or product damage. If you see any signs of stretched or damaged springs, do not use the trampoline until replacement springs are properly installed. Please contact our customer service representatives to order original replacement parts.
The trampoline is several feet off the ground. Jumping off the trampoline to the ground or any other surface
may result in injury. Smaller children may need assistance getting up onto or down from the trampoline. Mounting and dismounting properly should be followed as a strict rule. Users should climb onto the trampoline by placing their hands on the frame and stepping or rolling up onto the frame, across the springs and onto the mat. Do not step directly on the frame pad or grasp the frame pad when mounting or dismounting the trampoline. To dismount, jumpers should walk to the side of the mat, bend over and place their hands on the frame, then step from the mat to the ground. Users should always place their hands on the frame while mounting or dismounting.
Do NOT use the trampoline as a springboard to jump onto other objects. Remove all objects not designed for use with the trampoline from the trampoline before use. Do not let
children take toys or other items onto the trampoline.
Do not eat while jumping. The trampoline should not be buried or sunken into the ground. During winter period, the snow load and the very low temperature can damage the trampoline. It is
recommended to remove the snow and store the mat and the enclosure indoor.

Do not jump or step onto the frame pad as it was not designed to support the weight of a person. Do not use the trampoline while holding or wearing any type of sharp or pointed objects such as jewelry,
watches, rings, eyewear and necklaces before using this product. This will prevent the jewelry from tearing the mat or getting caught in the enclosure netting.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing that may catch or snag during play. Never wear footwear (e.g. shoes) when using the trampoline. Always tie back long hair so that it does not block user’s vision or get caught in the enclosure netting. FRAME PADS – Frame pads are there to protect user from any fall or landing on the springs and frame.
On no account should people be permitted to sit or stand on them when the trampoline is in use. You should also make sure that smaller users do not use the inside edges of the pads as a “handle” when getting up on to the trampoline.
Never use the trampoline without the frame pad being securely attached. Properly tie down the frame pad
before each use. Improper assembly of the frame pad may lead to injury!
Always check to ensure there are no obstructions or objects under the trampoline that could cause injury
or obstruct movement of jump mat. Also check that there are no pets or other people underneath the trampoline.
Do not jump on the trampoline with a snowboard, skateboard, roller blades, bicycle or any other equipment.
DO NOT hold any foreign objects not authorized by the manufacturer in your hand and DO NOT place any objects on the trampoline while anyone is jumping on it. Please be aware of your surroundings to ensure there are no objects that could cause harm when you are playing on the trampoline.
The frame of your trampoline is made of steel and it will conduct electricity. No electrical equipment (lights,
heaters, extension cords, household appliances, etc.) should be permitted in or on the enclosure under any circumstances to avoid the risk of electrocution.
Always jump in the middle of the mat.
Enclosure Netting and Mat – Appropriate Use Conditions
Children MUST NEVER be left unattended inside the enclosure at any time. The enclosure is ONLY intended to be used to reduce the risk of injury from falling off the trampoline. Do
not intentionally kick, bounce against, climb on, hang from, jump over or crawl under the netting.
Enter and exit the enclosure only through the zipper door. Do not go through the gap between the netting
and the mat. Trying to exit this way poses a risk of strangulation, especially for young children.
The enclosure netting and mat must be inspected prior to each use. If there are any signs of weakness,
you must stop using the trampoline immediately, properly store the trampoline and restrict access by users until a new
authorized replacement netting or pad is installed. Please refer to the Trampoline Net & Pad –

your trampoline may lead to serious injury or death.
Important Instructions for Enclosure Netting and Mat
Failure to follow these instructions to ensure proper operational condition of
1. Maintenance of Trampoline Enclosure Net, Mat and Pad
Enclosure nets and padding 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 padding needs 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 padding 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, and stretching. Also inspect all connections and the entire enclosure for overall integrity. The net must be immediately replaced if it shows any signs of wear, damage, stretching, cracking, looseness, brittleness or other losses in integrity
. The following Maintenance Schedule must be followed:
1 to 3 Months 3 to 6 Months 6 to 12 Months
Inspect the enclosure (net, net hanger, and straps) prior to every use.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE NET BE REPLACED ON A YEARLY BASIS UNDER NORMAL USE, EVEN IF IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE.
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 if necessary.

Inspect the trampoline before each use. Make sure the frame padding, enclosure and the
enclosure support (frame) padding is correctly and securely positioned. Replace any worn, defective or missing parts before using.
Use trampoline only with mature, knowledgeable supervision. Check for loose cords and gaps. Users may become entangled in or strangled by loose cords or
in gaps between trampoline and enclosure.
Use trampoline only when the surface of the mat is dry. Wind or air movement should be calm to
gentle. The trampoline must not be used in gusty or severe winds.
Keep objects away which could interfere with the jumper. Maintain a clear area under, above,
and around the trampoline.
Do not attempt to crawl under the barrier. Do not hang from, kick, cut or climb on the barrier. Do not attach anything to the barrier that is not a manufacturer-approved accessory or part of the
enclosure system.
Enter and exit the enclosure only at the enclosure door. Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. A
variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic fundamentals in various series and combinations, performing one fundamental after another, with or without feet bounces between them.
Stop bounce by flexing knees as feet come into contact with the trampoline mat. Learn this skill
before attempting others.
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until bounce control and repeated landing in the center of the
trampoline can be accomplished. Control is more important than height while keeping the head erect, focus eyes on the trampoline toward the perimeter. This will help control the bounce.
Avoid bouncing when tired. Keep turns short. Limit the time of continuous usage. Make regular stops. Do not jump when tired. Properly secure the trampoline when not in use. Protect it against unauthorized use. If a
trampoline ladder is used, the supervisor should remove it from the trampoline when leaving the area to prevent unsupervised access by children under six (6) years of age.
For information concerning skill training, contact a certified trampoline instructor. For additional information concerning the trampoline equipment, contact the manufacturer. Warning. The trampoline shall be assembled by an adult in accordance with the assembly
instructions and thereafter checked before the first use.

The following lessons are suggested for you to learn basic steps and bounces. Before using the trampoline, you should read and understand all warnings. A complete discussion and demonstration of body mechanics and trampoline guidelines should occur between the supervisor and student as well. The bounces are diagrammed on the following page.
Lesson 1
A. Mounting and Dismounting – Demonstration of proper techniques B. The Basic Bounce – Demonstration and practice C. Braking (Check the Bounce – Demonstration) and practice. Learn to brake on command D. Hands and Knees Bounce – Demonstration and practice. Stress should be on four-point landing
and alignment

trying half twist to left and right
C. Seat Bounce – Demonstration and practice. Learn basic seat bounce then add a knee bounce,
hands and knees repeat
Lesson 3
A. Review and practice skills and techniques learned in previous lessons B. Front Drop – To avoid mat burns and teach the front bounce position, all students should be
requested to assume the prone position (face down on the ground) while the instructor checks for faulty positions that could cause injury
C. Start with a Hands and Knees bounce and then extend body into prone position and on the mat
and return to feet
D. Practice Routine – Hands and Knees Bounce, Front Bounce, return to feet, Seat Bounce, return

Lesson 4
A. Review and practice skills and techniques learned in previous lessons B. Half – Turn
i. Start from front drop position and as you make contact with mat, push off with arms in
either the right or left direction and turn head and shoulders in same direction ii. During turn, be sure to keep back parallel to mat and head up iii. After completing turn, land in the Front Drop position
After completing this lesson, the student now has a basic foundation of trampoline bounces. Jumpers should be encouraged to try and develop their own routines with the emphasis on control and form.
A game that can be played in order to encourage students to try developing routines is “BOUNCE”. In this game, players count off from 1 to X. Player one starts with a maneuver. Player two has to do Player one’s maneuver and add on another. Each player must do the routine properly in the correct sequence. The first person to miss receives the letter “B”. This continues until someone spells out the word “BOUNCE”. The last remaining contestant is deemed the winner! Even when playing this game, it is important to perform your routines under control and not try difficult or highly skilled bounces that you have not yet mastered.
A certified trampoline instructor should be contacted to further develop your trampoline skills.
