WARNING
Read the assembly, installation, care, maintenance, and use instructions in this manual prior to assembling and using this trampoline. Save this manual for future reference.
High Wind: The trampoline can be blown around by high winds. If you expect high winds, the trampoline should be
moved to a sheltered location, taken apart, or tied down to the ground with ropes and stakes (NOT INCLUDED). At least
four ropes and four stakes should be used. The top of the stakes should be at ground level so they will not create a tripping
hazard. In addition, the top of the stakes should be covered, if necessary, so that users will not be injured by falling on the
stakes. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any type of wind damage.
Do not stand near the trampoline in windy or gusty conditions. A trampoline can become airborne when exposed to sustained
wind or gusting wind conditions. This can result in serious injury, parlysis, or death, as well as property damage. To reduce
these risks, disassemble the trampoline and enclosure and store them until weather conditions improve.
Anchoring a trampoline frame may prevent the trampoline from moving as a result of the wind, but even anchored trampolines can become airborne or damaged. Consult a qualified contractor to determine what type of anchor works best in your
location.

safety instructions given in this manual. The trampoline should
only be used with mature, knowledgeable supervision.
Secure the trampoline and trampoline enclosure against
unauthorized and unsupervised use. If you use a ladder to get
on and off the trampoline, be sure to remove it when the
trampoline and enclosure are not being used.
Be sure there is enough clear space above the trampoline and
enclosure before use. It is best to have at least 24 feet(7.3
meters) of clear space above the ground. This space must be
clear of wires, tree limbs, and any other possible hazards.
Lateral (sideways) clearance is very important. Do not place
the trampoline and enclosure near walls, buildings, fences,
sidewalks, and other play areas. Always keep a clear space on
all sides of the trampoline and enclosure.
Remove any objects that could interfere with the performer.
Maintain a clear area around and under the trampoline.
Be sure the trampoline and enclosure are on a level surface
before use.
Always inspect the trampoline and enclosure before each
use.Make sure that the frame, padding, netting, enclosure
tubes, and foam sleeves are correctly and securely positioned.
Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts. (Jumpers may
be hurt if the trampoline and enclosure are used when they are
in poor condition.)
Bounce only when the surface of the mat(bed) is dry. There
should be very little or no wind or air movement. The trampoline and enclosure must not be used in gusty or severe winds.
The trampoline and enclosure frames are made of metal. They
are not grounded and will conduct electricity. For this reason,
an electrocution hazard exists. No lights, electric heaters,
extension cords, or household electrical appliances are to be
permitted on the trampoline or in enclosure at any time.
Use the trampoline and enclosure in an area with lots of light.
If the trampoline and enclosure are indoors or in shady areas,
you may need to us artificial (electical) lighting in the area.
During the winter months, the trampoline soft materials will
need to be removed and stored in a dry place. If left up in the
winter months, it may cause damage to the springs, jump mat,
spring pad, and enclosure. The warranty will be void.
This trampoline and enclosure is made for users who weigh
less than 200 pounds.
Trampolines over 20 in. (51 cm) tall are not recommended for
use by children under 6 years of age.
The trampoline enclosure is to be used only with the size of
trampoline for which the enclosure is designed.
Misuse and abuse of the trampoline enclosure is dangerous
and can cause serious injury.
Do not attach anything to the enclosure barrier that is not a
manufacturer-approved acessory or part of the enclosure
system.
Please remove any jewelry before jumping begins. Jewelry may
get caught in the enclosure netting.
Wear clothing free of drawstrings, hooks, loops, or anything
that could be caught while using the trampoline/enclosure and
result in entaglement and strangulation, or both.
DO NOT let more than one person inside the trampoline
enclosure at the same time. Two or more people jumping at the
same time can cause serious injury.
DO NOT jump on the trampoline while you have or are holding
any objects, especially something sharp or breakable.
DO NOT use the trampoline and enclosure if you have been
using alcohol or drugs.
DO NOT attempt or allow summersaults (flips) on the trampoline. Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury,
paralysis, or death, even when landing in the middle of the
jumping mat.
Always climb on to and off of the trampoline. It is a dangerous
practice to jump from the trampoline to the floor or ground
when dismounting, or to jump onto the trampoline when
mounting.
DO NOT use the trampoline as a springboard to other
objects.Enter and exit the enclosure only at the enclosure door
or barrier made for that purpose.
DO NOT attempt to crawl under, jump over, intentionally
bounce off of, hang from, climb on, kick, or cut the barrier
netting.
While keeping head erect, focus eyes on the trampoline toward
the perimeter. This will help control bounce.
Stop bouncing by flexing knees as feet come in contact with the
trampoline bed. Learn this skill before attempting others.
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until bounce control and
repeated landings in the center of the trampoline can be accomplished. Control is more important than height.
Avoid bouncing when tired. Keep turns short.
Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly
before trying more advanced skills. A variety of trampoline
activities can be carried out performing the basic fundamentals
in various series and combinations, performing one fundamental
after another, with feet bounces between them.
For additional information concerning the trampoline equipment contact the manufacturer. For information concerning skill
training, contact a certified trampoline instructor.

TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INFORMATION
In trampoline use, as in all active recreational sports, participants can be injured. However, there are steps that can be
taken to reduce risk of injury. In this section, primary accident patterns are identified and the responsibilities of
supervisors and jumpers in accident prevention are described.
ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION
Somersaults(flips): Landing on your head or neck, even in the middle of the trampoline mat, increases the risk of a
broken back or neck, which can result in paralysis or death. Such events can occur when a jumper makes an error
trying to perform a forward or backward somersault(flip). Do not perform somersaults(flips) on this backyard trampoline.
Multiple Jumpers: More than one jumper at a time on the trampoline increases the chance of a jumper becoming
injured by losing control of his or her jump. Jumpers may collide with on another, fall off of the trampoline, fall onto
or through the springs, or land incorrectly on the mat. The jumper weighing the least is the jumper most likely to be
injured.
Mounting and Dismounting (Getting on and off): The trampoline mat is several feet above ground level. Jumping
from thet rampoline to the ground or any other surface may result in injury. Jumping onto the the trampoline from a
roof, deck, or other objects also prsents a risk of injury. Smaller children may need assistance getting onto or down
from the trampoline. Climb carefully onto and off of the trampoline. Do not step onto the springs or the fame pad. Do
not grasp the frame pad to pull yourself onto the trampoline.
Striking the Frame or the Springs: Injury may result from hitting the frame or falling through the springs while
jumping or getting onto or off of the trampoline. Stay in the center of the mat when jumping. Be sure to keep the
frame pad in place to cover the fame. The frame pad is not made or intended to suppor the weight of trampoline user.
Don ot step or jump directly on the frame pad.
Loss of Control: Jumpers who lose control of their jumps may land on the mat incorrectly, land on the frame or
springs, or fall off of the trampoline. A controlled jump is one where the landing is in the same spot as the takeoff.
Before learning a more difficult stunt, you should be able to do one over an over with control. Attempting a stunt
beyond present skill levels increases the chance of loss of control. To regain control and stop your jump bend your
knees sharply when you land.
Alcohol or Drug Use: The chance of injury increases when a jumper has consumed alcohol or taken drugs. These
substances impair a person’s reaction time, judgement, and phyiscal coordination.
Encountering Objects: Jumping on a trampoline while other people, pets, or objects are underneath it will increase the
chance of getting hurt. Jumping while holding or having an object on the trampoline, particularly one that is sharp or
breakable, will increase the chance of injury. Placing a trampoline too close to overhead electical wires, tree limbs, or
other objects can increase the chance of injury.
Poor Maintenance of The Trampoline: Jumpers may be injured if a trampoline is when it is in poor condition. A torn
mat, bent frame, broken spring, or missing frame pad, for example, should be replaced before anyone is allowed to
jump. Inspect the trampoline before each use.
Weather Conditions: A wet trampoline is too slippery for safe jumping. Gusty or high winds can cause jumpers to lose
control. To reduce the chance of injury, use the trampoline only when the weather is good.
Access: To prevent access to the trampoline by unsupervised smaller children, the optional access ladder should
always be taken away and stored in a safe place when the trampoline is not in use.

ENCLOSURE SAFETY INFORMATION
NEED FOR TRAMPOLINE ENCLOSURE SAFETYUSING THE ENCLOSURE SAFELY
A trampoline enclosure is a recreational product.
The information on this page and on pages 7-9 identify important safety precautions. The precautions are not all-inclusive, because an enclosure can be used in ways that this manual cannot cover completely.
To prevent pinches and cuts during enclosure use, a frame pad must be installed on the trampoline (See the trampoline
manufacturer’s instructions). The frame pad must be placed on the trampoline before the enclosure is erected. The
frame pad reduces the chance of injury from accidental contact with the springs and frame.Adult Supervision of
Children
USING THE ENCLOSURE SAFETY
Adult Supervision of Children
Children using a trampoline with a trampoline enclosure must be supervised by adults. Young children must be
supervised constantly. Adults must pay particular attention to:
• Things that children bring into the enclosure.
• Children’s activities inside the enclosure.
• Conditions inside the enclosure while children are using it.
• The way children enter and exit the enclosure.
Additional details of safety enclosure use are described below.
Electrocution Hazard Associated with the Metal Frame of the Trampoline and Enclosure
The trampoline and enclosure frames are made of galvanized steel. They are not grounded and will conduct electricity.
For this reason, an electrocution hazard exists. No lights, electric heaters, extension cords, or household electrical
appliances are to be permitted on the trampoline or in the enclosure at any time.
Hazards Associated with Entering and Leaving the Trampoline Enclosure
A trampoline enclosure installed on a trampoline is raised off the ground. The height of the enclosure increases the risk
of a fall when a jumper is entering or leaving the enclosure. Young children, especially, may have difficulty entering
and exiting the enclosure. To reduce the risk of falling, always help young children to get into and out of the enclosure.
Enter and exit the trampoline enclosure only through the door of the enclosure (the opening in the netting walls). The
trampoline mat (bed) and the netting walls of the enclosure are separate pieces. No jumper, especially young children,
should ever leave the enclosure by going out between the mat and the netting walls. Trying to get out this way creates
a risk of choking from being caught between the trampoline frame and the netting walls.
Darkness increases the chances of a fall when a jumper is entering or leaving the enclosure. Do not use the trampoline
unless there is plenty of lighting provided.
Hazards Associated with Animals, Sharp or Breakable Objects
To avoid damage to the trampoline enclosure and the trampoline, do not allow pets or other animals inside of the
enclosure. The claws and teeth of animals can damage the netting. Do not jump on the trampoline while holding or
wearing a sharp or breakable object.

METHODS OF ACCIDENT PREVENTION
The Supervisor's 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 of the rules and warnings printed in this manual to minimize the likelihood of accidents
and injuries. They also need to inform users of these rules. During periods of time when supervision is unavailable or
inadequate, this may require that the trampoline is taken down, placed in a secure area, or otherwise secured against
unauthorized use. Another option that may be considered is covering the trampoline with a heavy tarp that can be
secured with locks and chains. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to make sure that the placard with TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (see step 14 in assembly instructions) is kept posted on the trampoline and that
jumpers are informed about these instructions.
The 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 then learn 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. Review this manual to learn about the basic techniques for
using the trampoline. Follow the rules on the placard with TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (see step 14 in
assembly instructions). For further information or additional instructional materials, contact a certified trampoline
instructor.
TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For the Supervisor
Read the instructions before using the trampoline. Enforce all of the safety rules. Become familiar with the information
in this manual so you can help new users learn basic jumps and all users follow trampoline safety. All trampoline users
must have mature, knowledgeable supervision, regardless of their skill or age. This trampoline is not recommended for
use by children under 6 years of age. Inspect the trampoline before using it. Do not use the trampoline without the frame
pad securely in place to cover the frame. Do not use the trampoline in wet or windy conditions. A worn or damaged mat,
spring, or frame piece should be replaced immediately.
JUMPING
Learn fundamental jumps and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. Know your own limits in
performing each of the trampoline jumps. Study this manual to learn how to do basic jumps.
Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline mat. Learn this skill before
attempting any others.
Hazards Associated with High Winds
A trampoline with an enclosure can be moved or blown over by high winds. Anyone in its path, or inside of the enclosure, may be injured if this happens. If you expect high winds, take down the enclosure netting and stake the trampoline
frame to the ground (see page 24), or move the trampoline and enclosure to a sheltered location.
The only sure
method to protect your trampoline and the surrounding environment during high winds is to completely
disassemble the unit and store indoors.
Damage due to wind or weather is not warranted.
WARNING
8
Storing the Trampoline Enclosure Safely
Specific steps for storing the trampoline enclosure are given later in this manual. There are special safety precautions to
be aware of when storing the enclosure.
Remove the attached arch sections as a unit and place them on the ground. Separate the tubes after they are on the ground.
Avoid pinching your fingers by wearing gloves and keeping your fingers away from pinch points near the bracket
assembly while you are removing the tubes from the frame.
Placing the Trampoline and Enclosure in a Safe Place
There must be at least 24 feet (7.3 meters) of clear, open space above the ground. Do not place or store anything underneath the trampoline and enclosure. To avoid injury, the trampoline and enclosure must be kept away from objects and
possible hazards including electric power wiring, tree limbs, and fences. Do not place the trampoline and enclosure near
any other recreational devices or structures such as a swimming pool or swing set. The trampoline and enclosure must be
placed on a level surface before use. The area around the trampoline must always have plenty of light.
For the Supervisor
• Be familiar with the information in this manual and enforce all of the safety rules. Help all users to utilize the
trampoline and enclosure safely.
• All trampoline and enclosure users must have someone to supervise them at all times, regardless of the skill or age of
the user.
• Secure the trampoline and enclosure against unauthorized and unsupervised use. Keep the trampoline and enclosure
free of any objects that could interfere with the jumper.
• This trampoline and enclosure is not recommended for use by children under 6 years of age or by anyone weighing
more than 200 pounds.
• Use the trampoline and enclosure only when the trampoline mat (bed) is clean and dry. Inspect the trampoline and
enclosure prior to each use and replace any worn or damaged parts. Use only when the enclosure netting has no holes,
all uprights are tightly bolted into their sockets, and the netting is properly suspended.
• DO NOT attempt or allow somersaults on the trampoline. Landing on the back or neck can cause serious injury,
paralysis, or death, even when landing in the middle of the bed.
For the Jumper
Do not use the trampoline enclosure when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
JUMPING
• Avoid jumping too high or for too long. Always control your jump.
• Take turns jumping one at a time, and always have someone watch you.
• Do not attempt to jump over the netting. Do not intentionally bounce off of the netting. Do not hang from, kick, cut, or
climb on the netting.
• Wear clothing that does not have drawstrings, hooks, loops or anything else that could get caught while using the
trampoline/enclosure and result in entanglement or strangulation, or both.
• Do not attach anything to the netting that is not a Skywalker Trampolines approved accessory or part of the of the
trampoline enclosure.
WARNING

GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRAMPOLINE
Climb onto and off of the trampoline. Do not jump onto or off of it. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to jump to
other objects or places.
ENTERING AND EXITING THE TRAMPOLINE ENCLOSURE
The Trampoline should be used only under the appropriate adult supervision.
A ZIPPER CLIP IS PROVIDED TO HELP SECURE THE TRAMPOLINE AGAINST UNSUPERVISED USE BY
CHILDREN AND TO KEEP THE ZIPPER IN THE CLOSED POSITION DURING USE. A responsible adult supervisorshould be present to assure that the zipper clip is attached to the D-ring on the jump mat and that the horizontal clips
areattached to the D-rings on the enclosure netting, both during use and after use.
For additional information regarding equipment, contact Skywalker Holding, LLC. For additional information regarding
skill training, contact a trainer certification organization.
USE AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL
OVERVIEW OF TRAMPOLINE USE
The first periods of trampoline use should focus on learning fundamental body positions and practicing the eight basic
bounces that are described on pages 10 and 11.
During this learning period, jumpers should practice these basic techniques and perfect them. Braking, or checking the
bounce, should be taught first and stressed as a safety measure. Jumpers should brake their jump whenever they start to
lose their balance or control. This is done by simply flexing the knees sharply upon landing and absorbing the upward
thrust of the mat. This allows the jumper to stop suddenly and avoid losing control.
With trampoline use, the takeoff point and landing point of a good, controlled jump are in the same spot. An exercise is
considered learned only when a jumper is able to perform it correctly time after time. Jumpers should never go on to any
advanced stunt until they can perform all previous stunts correctly each time.
Allow each jumper a brief turn on the trampoline. Extended bouncing exposes an overtired user to an increased risk of
injury. Longer turns tend to lessen the interest of others waiting to jump. Clothing should consist of a T-shirt and shorts.
Jumpers should wear regulation gymnastic shoes or heavy socks, or they may jump barefoot. Street shoes or tennis shoes
should not be worn on the trampoline. Beginning jumpers may wish to wear loose-fitting protective clothes, such as a
long-sleeve shirt and pants, until correct landings are mastered. This will reduce the chance of mat (bed) burns from
improper landings on elbows and knees. No hard-sole shoes should be worn, as they cause extra wear on the trampoline
mat.
Mounting and dismounting (getting on and off) properly should be a strict rule from the beginning. 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. They should not step directly on the frame pad or hold on to the frame pad when getting onto or off of the
trampoline. Users should always place their hands on the frame while getting on or off. To get off, jumpers should walk
to the side of the mat, bend over and place one hand on the frame, and then step from the mat to the ground. If you have
installed the optional ladder, its rungs can be used to get on or off. Always face the ladder and place your hands on the
frame. Make sure your foot has secure contact with the ladder rung when using it.
Reckless bouncing should not be permitted. All skills should be learned at moderate heights. Control, rather than height,
should be emphasized. Jumpers should be forbidden to practice alone and unsupervised.

3. Place your hands on the mat beside your hips.
4. Push with your hands to return to an erect position.
5. Half twist to the feet. Seat drop, knee drop, hand and knee
drop, repeat.
Lesson 7: Half Turntable
1. Review and practice of skills already learned.
2. Start from the front drop position and push to the left
or right with your arms to begin turning your body in
the opposite direction.
3. Turn your head and shoulders toward the direction
that your body is turning.
4. Keep your back parallel to the mat and your head up.
5. After completing a half turn, land in the front drop
position.
Lesson 6: Front Drop
1. To save time and avoid mat (bed) burns, all students should be
requested to assume the front drop position on the floor while the
instructor checks for faults. Suggested progression: from hand and
knee bounce, the body is extended for the landing in the front
drop position, and the rebound is made to the feet.
2. Start from a low bounce and land on the mat in a prone
position.
3. Keep your head up and your arms extended forward on the mat.
4. Push with your arms to return to an erect position.
Lesson 8: Swivel Hips
1. Suggested progression: seat drop, feet, half twist, repeat; seat
drop, half twist to feet, repeat; seat drop, half twist to seat drop.
2. Start with a seat drop.
3. Turn your head to the left or right and swing your
arms up in the same direction.
4. Turn your hips in the same direction as your head and
arms, completing a twist.
5. Land in the seat drop position.
Lesson 9
Once each of lessons are learned, the student should now be encouraged to design and organize routines, with emphasis on
good form. The instructor may judge or grade students and arrange groupings for further instruction accordingly. To stimu-
late interest in competition, the game of “Trampoline Horse” can be introduced. Before the game begins, students must
count off. To start the game, student number 1 performs a stunt. Student number 2 then mounts the trampoline, performs the
same stunt and adds a second stunt. Student number 3 mounts and performs stunts 1 and 2 and adds a third stunt. Thus the
series of stunts is continuously lengthened. The first person to miss a stunt in the series assumes the letter “H” and starts a
new series with a stunt. If a person misses again, he assumes the letter “O.” When a person accumulates “H-O-R-S-E,” he
or she is eliminated from the game. The last remaining contestant is the winner. Lesson planning from this point on should
be facilitated by contacting a certified trampoline instructor.
