MAINTENANCE | CARE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTES

Metal Rust and Corrosion

• Be aware of areas that are particularly prone to rusting:

- Places where water is easily trapped.

- Hollow sections of steel (which can appear in good condition on the outside, while hiding rust on the inside).

- Sections where different metal components join together.

• Inspect the inside of all frame tubes and poles every 6 months, and remove any water from the inside surfaces.

• Check tube and pole connection areas for rust.

• Use general purpose grease on steel connection areas to reduce the chance of corrosion.

• Avoid excessively cleaning steel components, as it may reduce the effectiveness of our protective coatings.

Textile Deterioration

• Clean your trampoline mat with a soft sponge only to avoid prematurely wearing the textiles.

• Avoid using powerful soaps or detergents; they can damage the textiles.

• Wipe dry any leftover water after rain or cleaning with an absorbent cloth; the mat may discolour or form spots if left to
dry in the sun.

• Remove the textile parts, and store them—in their original packaging—in a cool, dry and dark placewhen the trampoline
will not be used for more than 1 month. Prolonged exposure to UV sunlight can shorten the lifespan of the safety net.

Improper use or lack of care can lead to your trampoline deteriorating earlier than expected. Please follow all of these care instructions to
ensure that your trampoline lasts for as long as possible.

WEATHER CARE

If your trampoline will be unused for any extended period, you should disassemble it and store it out of the weather.

Clean away any fallen debris on your trampoline after rain. Wipe off residual water; any moisture left on the trampolinemay
contribute to the corrosion of steel components and weaken textiles.

Disconnect the safety net from the net poles, and cover the net and mat with a storm cover. Never position your trampoline under
power lines. We recommend that you secure your trampoline with an Anchor Kit.

Disassemble your trampoline.

Assemble your trampoline where it will receive the most shade cover during the brightest times of the day. Cover your trampoline
when not in use to minimise UV damage.

STORAGE

Return your trampoline to its original packaging, and store it in a dry place.

MOVING THE TRAMPOLINE

• Move the trampoline with a minimum of 8 adults, to ensure that the lift is within heavy lifting regulations.

• Do not drag the trampoline; lifting insufficiently may cause the joiners and frame tubes to bend or warp.

• Avoid tilting the trampoline, or resting it on its side; the frame may bend under its own weight.

• Disassemble the trampoline, and return it to its original packaging, to transport it long distances.

Use this checklist to inspect the trampoline before each use. Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts to avoid potential hazards. If
the following listed issues are discovered, do not continue to use the trampoline. Contact Vuly or your nearest dealer to order and replace
any parts.

MAINTENANCE | USAGE

PRECAUTIONARY ADVICE

User: Start by getting comfortable with bouncing by performing small jumps until your confidence and coordination improve. Familiarise yourself with basic

bouncing, landing and stopping movements. This will allow you to develop greater control before you attempt more advanced techniques. Always focus your
eyes on the edge of the trampoline; this will help with basic coordination.

Follow our guide to fundamental skills, and seek professional gymnastic training advice, to further develop your understanding of the dynamics of trampoline
bouncing, and the progression of bounce routines.

Supervisor: Ensure that all safety guidelines are being followed by the user. You must be mature and knowledgeable about trampolines, read this entire
booklet, and ensured that the user has also read this entire booklet.

If no supervisor is available at times when someone may use the trampoline, it should be appropriately disassembled to avoid unsupervised use.

BASIC SKILLS

The following is advice on how to perform the fundamental skills of trampolining:

Bouncing

You should always bounce in the centre of the bed, and only perform controlled bounces in line with your coordination and capability. Always begin your
basic bounces low. Never jump excessively high or recklessly.

The Stop Bounce

This technique will allow you to regain control by quickly stopping your movement. Keep your feet on the mat, and absorb the rebound of the trampoline
through your knees and waist.

This skill should be the first skill that you learn, and you should use it whenever you feel out of balance, or when you land away from the centre of the mat.

To practice the stop bounce:

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

2. Attempt 3 easy bounces; keep them low and controlled.

3. Focus your eyes towards the perimeter of the trampoline to keep your balance.

4. Stop the bounce by bending your knees and hips when you land on the mat.

Arm Actions

Arms are also important for proper lift and control. Whenever you’re in the air, your arms should be too. Raise them as you jump—to about shoulder height
and width. Keep this position until you start falling, then lower your arms to slightly behind the hips. Re-lift them as you bounce again.

Leg Actions

There are three basic leg actions: the tuck, pike, and straddle pike. You should assume these positions at the peak of your bounce, and resume the normal
landing position as you come back down.

Concentrate on getting perfect form as you practice; ensure that your toes are pointed, and your fingers are straight. These simple variations to the basic
bounce are very important for gaining experience in coordinating your movement.

Emergency and Evacuation Procedure

If any part of the trampoline begins to fail, the user should withdraw themselves from the trampoline, and they, the supervisor and any other bystanders
should move away. Disassemble the trampoline as soon as possible to avoid any further use.

HexVex

TM

HexVex™ is a unique, interactive game printed on your jumping mat.
Originally based on ‘Add-ons’, a training tool used by elite trampolinists to improve their co-ordination and reaction time, HexVex™ helps

jumpers to improve their balance and enhance their memory and learn sequence.

Invent new games with HexVex™, and tell Vuly to have them published to the world!

HexVexTM Game Icons

A trampoline should be used by one person at a time. Some HexVex™ games are designed to be played by more than one person. Each
player should climb off the trampoline to allow the next player to have their turn.

Players should climb off the trampoline to allow the next player to have their turn.

Match Up

Players: 2

The first player starts in the middle, and beings the game by picking an icon and jump onto it. They then need to jump to the other, matching icon.
That player continues this process, choosing and matching up all nine icons to complete one round. A miss-match jump ends their turn in the game.

The first person to complete three consecutive rounds of matched icons wins.

Mimic Me

Players: 2 or more

The first player starts on the edge of the trampoline, and begins the game by calling out the name of an icon and jumping onto it. Players
then take turns, repeating the icon that the previous player(s) jumped onto, while adding a new icon at the end of the sequence. A player
is out of the game if they jump on an incorrect icon, or execute the sequence in the wrong order.

The winner is the last player left jumping.

Story Hop

Players: 2-3

The first player starts in the middle of the jumping mat, and begins the game by jumping on any icon, and shouting a part of a story that
relates to that icon. That player then continues the story by jumping on the remaining icons to tell a complete story. The other players then
take their turns by doing the same.

The winning player is the one who achieves the most laughs with their story from all the other players.
