Introduction 1

Congratulations on purchasing a JumpSport Safety Enclosure! We sincerely believe that you have purchased the finest safety enclosure on the market. It has been engineered with safety, durability, and performance in mind.

Safe use of a trampoline also requires adequate knowledge of technique, as well as what not to do. Please read this manual thoroughly for key points of safety.

Trampolines, being rebounding devices, propel the performer to unaccustomed heights and into a variety of body movements. Therefore, it is emphasized that all purchasers, and all persons using the trampoline, become familiar with the rules for safe use. Misuse and abuse of this trampoline is dangerous, and can cause serious injuries. The purchaser/

user of this piece of equipment is assuming a degree of risk for which JumpSport cannot be responsible.

Read this information thoroughly before allowing the trampoline to be used. Keep this manual available for your review, and for review by all potential users. If there are questions please call JumpSport for further explanation.

Caution

Many users of our trampolines are children, and therefore need close supervision and rules to follow while playing on the trampoline. These rules must be enforced by whomever is responsible for the care of the children. It is strongly recommended that the buyer of this product go over the rules and recommendations in the packet of information supplied, including those in this manual. It is also strongly recommended that these rules and recommendations be

supplemented with those of your own, for example: the time that jumping is allowed, when neighbors can visit, and so

on. These rules and recommendations should be reviewed with anyone who is going to jump on the trampoline. If it is possible, review these rules with the parents or guardians of any visitors who may be jumping on the trampoline. See Safety Rules (under the Use Instructions section) for more information.

Assembly and Installation

Instructions 2

Preparation

Before you begin assembling your JumpSport Safety Enclosure, make sure your trampoline is in a proper location.

Trampoline Placement

Caution: When deciding on where to place your trampoline, consider the following:

WARNING

Overhead Clearance Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum of 24 feet from ground level

is recommended. Provide clearance for wires, tree limbs, and other possible hazards.

Lateral Clearance Lateral clearance is essential. Place the trampoline and trampoline enclosure away from walls, structures, fences, and other play areas. Maintain a clear space on all sides of the trampoline and trampoline enclosure.

Level Surface Place the trampoline and trampoline enclosure on a level surface before use.

Lighting Use the trampoline and trampoline enclosure in a well-lighted area. Artificial illumination may be required for indoor or shady areas.

Security Secure the trampoline and trampoline enclosure against unauthorized and

unsupervised use.

Ground Clearance Remove any obstructions from beneath the trampoline and trampoline enclosure.

Note: The trampoline enclosure is only to be used as an enclosure for a trampoline of a size for which the enclosure is designed.

Note: The owner and supervisors of the trampoline are responsible to make all users aware of practices specified in the Use Instructions.

IMPORTANT: The best surface on which to place your trampoline is dirt or grass. However, if you plan to install the trampoline on a very hard surface such as concrete or asphalt, a dense foam — similar to what can be found in public playgrounds — should be installed under each leg. Contact JumpSport Customer Service if you have any questions.

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to become familiar with all of the information in this booklet, to convey the warnings to all users, and to enforce JumpSport’s rules for safe use.

This unit is not intended for commercial or public use, and such use is strictly prohibited.

The maximum user weight is up to: 200 pounds (Model 280), 230 pounds (Models 120 & 380), 295 pounds (Models 480 & 480XT), or the specified user weight rating of your trampoline—whichever is lower.

Assembly and Installation Instructions

Tools

Installation of the safety enclosure requires a 13mm socket wrench (included), or a deep socket with a ratchet or electric drill. An 8ft A-Frame ladder will be useful for some steps (use care and follow procedures for use). Safety glasses and gloves are also recommended for safety.

Parts List

Your JumpSport Safety Enclosure is shipped with the parts shown below. Some parts will be located in a smaller inner box. If any parts are missing, immediately call JumpSport Customer Service at 408-213-2551.

Note: Do NOT discard the foam tubing (Reference #3 and #4); it is needed to make the pole assemblies. It is not just packing material. Not all poles will have foam around them. And do NOT remove any caps from the ends of any of the support poles.

IMPORTANT: Be sure nothing is caught between pole and leg (including pole sleeve, foam tubing, frame pad, etc.) before tightening the bolts.

2) Using the hardware provided, connect a pole to the outside of each trampoline leg:

 Line up bottom of the enclosure pole with the existing trampoline leg so both holes match, and the square holes on the enclosure

pole face out, and indents at hole face toward the frame.

 Insert bolt #7 through the square enclosure pole hole and through pole spacer #9 at both locations on the enclosure pole.

 Insert the bolts through the trampoline leg holes.  Insert nut #8 through the trampoline leg and at both locations, and hand-tighten.

3) Tighten the two nuts evenly, using the hand wrench (# 14). Make sure that the carriage bolt does not spin by making sure the

head is fully seated in the square hole on the enclosure pole. Nuts are snug when the poles are firmly attached to the trampoline leg with no movement. It is OK if the wings on the spacers begin to yield.

4) Familiarize yourself with the net. The net has a wider strap at the top of the net. There are red marks on the top and bottom straps

of net to help with installation. The red marks on the top strap should line up with the ball end cap at the top of each pole. The red marks on the bottom strap should line up with the outside of each pole.

Note: Red marks are a guide to help speed installation. If you find that the red marks don't line up perfectly, then be sure that pole 1 is above a right vertical leg piece, as shown in the diagram in Step 5. If they still do not line up, please disregard them and be sure that the net is pulled snugly from the top of one pole to the next. If you have a different company’s trampoline, the red marks may not line up at all. If you have a Model 480XT, there will not be any red marks at all.

Assembly and Installation Instructions

Final Steps

Assembly is now complete! Make sure all parts are securely assembled. Before using your JumpSport Safety Enclosure, familiarize yourself and all users with the Care and Maintenance Instructions, Warning Information, and Use Instructions included in this manual. See Diagram 1, below, to see how to properly enter the safety enclosure.

To register your JumpSport Safety Enclosure, visit our webpage at www.jumpsport.com and click on the Product Registration link.

Note: The net may need periodic adjusting. Check the knots and straps regularly. If the net sags due to extended

use, we recommend going back and repeating Step 5 all the way through to the end of the manual.

WARNING: Trampoline use is not recommended without the frame pad installed. The frame pad is

designed to reduce the possibility of injury by protecting the user from coming into contact with the frame and springs of the trampoline. It is very important that you properly attach the frame pad securely to the frame and in the correct position prior to using the trampoline.

Disassembly

To disassemble your JumpSport Safety Enclosure, follow the assembly steps in reverse order.

Care and Maintenance

Instructions 3

Your JumpSport Safety Enclosure is made using quality materials and is finely-crafted to provide you and your family with many years of enjoyment and exercise. Proper maintenance and care will help to prolong the life of the trampoline and reduce the possibility of injury.

All trampolines require maintenance at some point. Springs may need to be replaced, rail pieces may become bent, stitching in the mat and frame pads may rot out. The following maintenance guidelines should always be observed.

Inspection

Inspect the trampoline enclosure before each use and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts. The following conditions could represent potential hazards:

 Missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached barrier or enclosure support system (frame) padding and

pole caps

 Puncture, frays, tears, or holes worn in the barrier or support system (frame) padding  Deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the barrier or support system (frame) padding  Bent or broken support system (frame)  A sagging barrier  Sharp protrusions on the support system (frame) or suspension system

Note: The “bed” mentioned above and elsewhere in this manual, refers to the jumping surface (generally referred to as the “mat”). The “barrier” mentioned above and elsewhere in this manual, refers to the safety enclosure netting. The “frame” mentioned refers to the rail assembly pieces of the trampoline.

If any of the above conditions exist, your JumpSport Safety Enclosure must be disassembled or otherwise protected against use until the condition is remedied.

Cold Weather Protection

The JumpSport Safety Enclosure is designed for year-round outdoor use. However, in climates of cold weather where

snow and ice are common, we recommend the net be removed and stored in a dry area out of the sun. To remove the

net, simply complete the instructions for installing it in reverse order.

Replacement Parts

All replacement parts should be ordered through JumpSport.

Call JumpSport at 408-213-2551 if you need replacement parts, or have any questions.

If any warning labels or signs become unreadable or missing, call JumpSport for free replacements.

Disassembly

To disassemble, follow the assembly steps in reverse order. See the Assembly Instructions beginning on page 9.

Care and Maintenance Instructions

Windy Conditions

It is possible for the trampoline to be blown about by a high wind. If you anticipate high winds, the frame should be secured to the ground with the use of a JumpSport Trampoline Anchor Kit. If you anticipate severe winds, the trampoline should be moved to a sheltered location or completely disassembled. Our anchor kit can be found in the Accessories section at www.jumpsport.com.

Diagram 2 JumpSport Trampoline Anchor Kit

Use a JumpSport Trampoline Anchor Kit to tie down the trampoline that your JumpSport Safety Enclosure is attached to.

Moving the Trampoline

If you need to move your trampoline periodically, it should be moved by at least two people, and kept horizontal during the move. Both people should stand next to each other on one of the short ends of the trampoline, and lift that end of the trampoline. Rotate that end of the trampoline about five feet, then go to the opposite end of the trampoline, and do the same thing. This will slowly rotate each end of the trampoline toward your desired destination, and is the easiest way to move the trampoline due to its heavy weight. Disassemble the trampoline for any move greater than a few feet.

Care

Do not allow family pets on the trampoline, as claws may snag and pull the trampoline mat material or net material, or damage the frame pad or pole foam.

The JumpSport Safety Enclosure is intended to be used by one person at a time, weighing less than: 200 pounds (Model

280), 230 pounds (Models 120 and 380), or 295 pounds (Models 480 and 480XT).

Warning Information 4

WARNING

DO NOT attempt or allow somersaults. Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury, paralysis or death, even when landing in

the middle of the bed.

Use trampoline only with mature, knowledgeable supervision.

DO NOT allow more than one person inside the trampoline enclosure. Use by more than one person at the same time

can result in serious injury.

DO NOT attempt to jump over the barrier.

DO NOT intentionally rebound off the barrier.

DO NOT hang from, kick, cut or climb on the barrier.

Points of Safety

It is essential that trampoline users follow a carefully planned safety program so that the trampoline can be fully enjoyed. Most accidents can be classified into the following:

 Before you jump  Landing on springs or frame  Bouncing off the trampoline  Landing incorrectly on the mat

These are covered in detail in the following sections.

Before You Jump, Read this:

Please read the Safety Rules (under the Use Instructions section) with the following in mind:

 The trampoline enclosure is not designed to prevent injuries associated with unsafe use of the trampoline, or with

more advanced skills like flips, somersaults, or acrobatic maneuvers. Do not attempt any of these activities.

 Each user should become familiar with the Care and Maintenance Instructions, Warning Information, and Use

Instructions included in this manual.

 The trampoline enclosure does not replace the need for supervision by a responsible, knowledgeable adult.  Allow only one person to use the entrance at one time.

 When exiting, do not jump off the edge of the trampoline. Always sit on the edge, then carefully lower your body

onto the ground.

 Do not attach other apparatus to the trampoline enclosure unless it is a JumpSport-approved device. Any additional

JumpSport accessory that you may attach to the trampoline enclosure must be attached and used only in accordance with the instructions for such accessory.

Page 33

Warning Information

Landing on Springs or Frame

The risk of falling on the springs or frame, landing between the springs, or hitting the frame can be reduced by:

 Proper mounting and dismounting of the trampoline  Jumping at the center of the mat without traveling toward the side  Properly installing the frame pads  Properly installing the safety enclosure

Simple frame pads or spring covers on their own do not give adequate protection. Installing the JumpSport Safety

Enclosure and using spotters, will greatly reduce the risk of injury.

Bouncing off the Trampoline

Bouncing off of the trampoline can be controlled, if not completely eliminated, through:

 Proper instruction and mastering of the “Stop Bounce” technique in the “Basic Skills” section  Maintaining a position in the center of the mat  Strictly forbidding any “flying dismounts” (i.e. jumping off of the trampoline onto another object or the ground)  Installing a JumpSport Safety Enclosure

 Using spotters

 Using the trampoline only with mature, knowledgeable supervision

Keep objects away from the trampoline. It is dangerous to jump from the trampoline to the floor or ground. Do not jump from the trampoline into a swimming pool, onto a swing, or any other object. Do not install the trampoline on concrete, asphalt or hard compacted surfaces.

Landing Incorrectly on the Mat

Landing incorrectly on the mat creates great risk of a serious injury, with most injuries resulting from attempted somersaults/flips. It is strongly recommended that somersaults/flips are not performed.

Page 34

Use Instructions 5

Safety Rules

It is the responsibility of the owner to become familiar with the safety rules and to convey these rules to all users.

WARNING

 DO NOT attempt or allow somersaults on the trampoline. Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury,

paralysis, or death, even when landing in the middle of the bed.

 DO NOT allow more than one person inside the trampoline enclosure. Use by more than one person at the same

time can result in serious injuries.

 Use trampoline enclosure only with mature, knowledgeable supervision.  Inspect the trampoline enclosure before each use. Make sure the barrier and the enclosure support (frame) padding

is correctly and securely positioned. Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.

 Children may be entangled or strangled in loose cords or gaps between trampoline and enclosure. Keep enclosure

tightly fastened to the trampoline in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to properly assemble

and maintain a tight, secure trampoline/enclosure boundary may result in serious injury, strangulation or death.

 Do not attempt to jump over the barrier.  Do not attempt to crawl under the barrier.  Do not intentionally rebound off the barrier.

 Do not hang from, kick, cut or climb on the barrier.

 Wear clothing free of drawstrings, hooks, loops or anything that could get caught in 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 or barrier opening designated for that purpose.  Read all instructions before using the trampoline enclosure. Warnings and instructions for the care, maintenance,

and use of this trampoline enclosure are included to promote safe, enjoyable use of this equipment.

Note: The “barrier” mentioned above and elsewhere in this manual, refers to the safety enclosure netting. The “frame” mentioned refers to the rail assembly pieces of the trampoline.

Basic Skills

Basic trampoline skills include:

 Bouncing  Stop Bounce  Arm Action  Bounce Variations

Bouncing

The most important basic skill in jumping on a trampoline, is controlling the height and landing of your bounce. The goal is to land in the center of the mat, or as close to the center of the mat as possible. The basic bounce should always being low. High, reckless bouncing should never be allowed.

Stop Bounce

The Stop Bounce technique allows the jumper to gain control by stopping quickly. It is done by keeping the feet in contact with the mat, and absorbing the rebound of the trampoline with the knees and waist. This skill should be learned

right away and should be employed whenever you feel out of balance, or land away from the center area.

To learn the Stop Bounce:

1. Stand in center of the mat with your feet about hip-width apart.

2. Attempt three easy bounces; keep them low and controlled.

3. Focus your eyes toward the perimeter of the trampoline while bouncing, in order to keep your balance

4. Stop the bounce when your feet contact the mat by bending at your knees and hips.

Arm Action

Arms are very important for proper control and lift. Whenever you go up, your arms go up. They go up to a set position

about shoulder height and shoulder width. They should remain in this balanced position until you start to go down.

Then they circle down slightly behind the hips, ready to lift again as you bounce up. See Figure 2.

Figure 2 Arm Action

Page 36

Use Instructions

Bounce Variations

Figure 3 shows three variations you can perform in the air. These should be performed at the top of your bounce before returning to the normal landing position on your feet.

Figure 3 Bounce Variations

Tuck

Pike Straddle

Practice these simple variations and concentrate on perfect form. When you are in position, make sure you point your

toes and straighten your fingers (Pike and Straddle variations). Also make sure you take off and land in the same spot on the center of the mat.

These simple variations to the basic bounce can be a lot of fun, and are very important for gaining experience in coordinated movement and balance.

Basic Landing Positions

Once the jumper understands the body placement of the position, the drop can be performed after “priming” the

trampoline mat. Priming is done by bending the knees and pushing down on the trampoline mat several times, thereby

setting the mat in motion. The feet stay in contact with the mat during the entire priming motion.

Seat Drop

Figure 4 Seat Drop

To perform a Seat Drop:

1. From the standing position, prime the mat several times.

2. Pick up your feet at the top of the last bounce, and sit

down. You should land with your body in a seated position with your legs straight out in front of you and your toes pointed. Hands should be on the mat next to your hips. Fingers should be together and pointed toward your feet. See Figure 4.

3. Push on the mat with your hands to rebound up to your feet.

Page 37

Use Instructions

Hands and Knees Drop

To do a Hands and Knees Drop properly, there should be just as much weight on the hands as on the knees. The back should be about parallel to the mat. The knees and hands should land simultaneously, with the middle of the body landing in the center of the trampoline. The hands should be directly under the shoulders. The knees should be directly under the hips. The toes should be pointed. See Figure 5.

To perform a Hands and Knees Drop:

1. Get down on your hands and knees on the mat. Make sure you have weight on both your hands and knees. Do not

sit on your heels.

2. Remain in this position and try to bounce. Do not rock back and forth between the hands and knees, but develop an even landing on all four points.

3. From the standing position, prime the mat several times. Lift upward with the hips, reach forward with the hands, and land on all fours. Look slightly in front of your hands on landing. Push to rebound to your feet.

Figure 5 Hands and Knees Drop

Front Drop

Figure 6 Front Drop

In a front drop, contact with the trampoline mat should simultaneously take place with your hands, elbows, chest, stomach, and hips. Knees should be bent. Hands

should be placed close together with palms in contact with the mat, forming a

triangle. Eyes should focus on the center of the triangle or slightly in front of your fingers. See Figure 6.

1. First learn how to go from the hands and knees drop to the front drop.

a. Start from the hands and knees drop position. b. As you rebound from the hands and knees, stretch so that you land on your stomach. From this position, rebound to your hands and knees.

2. Next, perform Step 1, beginning and ending in a standing crouched position.

a. Start from a standing position with your knees bent and your upper body low and close to the trampoline mat. b. Prime the mat several times.

c. Lift your hips gently upward and backward.

d. Land in a hands and knees drop, rebound and stretch into a front drop, and return to a hands and knees drop. e. Push with the hands to return to your feet.

3. Lastly, perform Step 2 from a standing position.

a. Start from a straight standing position. b. Prime the mat several times. c. Perform a Front Drop as in Step 2.

Page 38

Use Instructions

Front Drop Note: Your body must contact the trampoline mat all at once. If you land on your chest and arms first, they will rebound before the knees hit, which will result in a straining action on the back. If this type of landing is made with a traveling, diving approach, there is a good chance that the elbows may become skinned. If the landing is made so that the knees and hips hit first, then they will rebound and you will land heavily on your shoulders and face.

Series of Drops

Once you have mastered the individual bounce variations and drops, try performing them in sequence. For example:

Seat Drop—Hands and Knees Drop—Front Drop or Seat Drop—Hands and Knees Drop—Seat Drop.

Twisting Moves

Twisting moves include:

 Swivel Hips  Turntable  Twist Variations

Swivel Hips

A Swivel Hips is a combination move consisting of a Seat Drop, half twist, then another Seat Drop.

1. First become familiar with the first part of a Swivel Hips.

a. Perform a seat drop. b. Push down on the mat with the hands and straighten in the air with your arms stretched over your head.

2. Next, add the half twist.

a. Perform Step 1. As you rebound up to your feet, move one shoulder in the direction you want to twist. b. Finish standing with arms stretched overhead, facing the opposite direction (180 degree twist completed).

3. Last, try the complete Swivel Hips twist. See Figure 7.

a. Perform a Seat Drop.

b. As you rebound with your arms overhead, twist around to face the opposite direction.

c. Land in another Seat Drop.

Figure 7 Swivel Hips

Page 39

Use Instructions

Turntable

A Turntable is a combination move consisting of a Front

Figure 8 Turntable

Drop, a Half Twist, then another Front Drop.

1. First become familiar with the first part of a Turntable.

a. Begin in a hands and knees position, with hands forming a triangle, like a Front Drop. b. Prime the mat in this position.

c. Push backward with your hands and extend your

body to land in the Front Drop position. d. Repeat several times in succession: Hands and Knees Drop—Front Drop—Hands and Knees Drop, etc.

2. Next, perform the movement in Step 1, but at twice the speed so as to bring the knees inward, under the hips and

out again without touching the knees on the mat.

3. Now, perform the movement in Step 2, but push sideways on the mat so that your body rotates before you land on

the mat.

4. Last, try the complete Turntable twist from a standing position. Prime the mat and perform a Front Drop. Push

sideways, complete a 180 degree rotation, and finish in a Front Drop facing the opposite direction. See Figure 8.

Twist Variations

You can have hours and hours of fun and challenging bouncing by combining twists with each of the basic landing positions (Drops). You can twist after the landing. For example: Seat Drop with a half twist and land on your feet.

You can add more twists. Always remember to practice and perfect the simpler twists before moving on to more complex twists.

You can also perform a series of twists. For example: perform several Swivel Hips in a row, all in the same direction or alternate directions. You can do the same thing with Turntable twisting.

If you find you love the trampoline and have mastered the moves discussed in these instructions, we encourage you to seek additional training from a certified trampoline instructor.
