WARNING
WARNING
Read the assembly, installation, care, maintenance, and use instructions in this manual prior to assembling and
using this equipment. 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 only sure method to protect your trampoline and the surrounding environment
during high winds is to completely disassemble the unit and store indoors. The manufactures warranty does not
cover any type of wind or weather 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, paralysis, 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 qualied contractor to determine what type of
anchor works best in your location.

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 identied and the responsibilities of
supervisors and jumpers in accident prevention are described.
ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION
Somersaults (ips): 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 (ip). Do not perform somersaults(ips) 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 one another, fall o of the trampoline, fall onto
or through the springs, or land incorrectly on the mat. e jumper weighing the least is the jumper most likely to be
injured.
Mounting and Dismounting (Getting on and o): e trampoline mat is several feet above ground level. Jumping
from the trampoline to the ground or any other surface may result in injury. Jumping onto the trampoline from a roof,
deck, or other objects also presents a risk of injury. Smaller children may need assistance getting onto or down from
the trampoline. Climb carefully onto and o 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 o 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. e frame pad is not made or intended to support the weight of trampoline user. Do
not 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 o of the trampoline. A controlled jump is one where the landing is in the same spot as the takeo.
Before learning a more dicult 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: e chance of injury increases when a jumper has consumed alcohol or taken drugs. ese
substances impair a person’s reaction time, judgment, and physical 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 electrical wires, tree limbs, or
other objects can increase the chance of injury.
Poor Maintenance of e 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
METHODS OF ACCIDENT PREVENTION
NEED FOR TRAMPOLINE ENCLOSURE SAFETY
A trampoline enclosure is a recreational product.
e information on this page and on pages 7-9 identify important safety precautions. e precautions are not allinclusive, 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). e frame pad must be placed on the trampoline before the enclosure is erected. e
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:
• ings that children bring into the enclosure.
• Children’s ac tivities inside the enclosure.
• Conditions inside the enclosure while children are using it.
• e 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
e trampoline and enclosure frames are made of galvanized steel. ey 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 o the ground. e height of the enclosure increases the risk
of a fall when a jumper is entering or leaving the enclosure. Young children, especially, may have diculty 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). e
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. e claws and teeth of animals can damage the netting. Do not jump on the trampoline while holding or
wearing a sharp or breakable object.
e Supervisor’s Role in Preventing Accidents
It is the responsibility of the supervisors of trampoline users to provide knowledgeable and mature supervision. ey
need to know and enforce all of the rules and warnings printed in this manual to minimize the likelihood of accidents
and injuries. ey 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.
e Jumper’s Role in Preventing Accidents
Education on the part of the user is a must for safety. Users must rst 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 rst 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 certied 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. is 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 exing 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. e
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.
