Heavy friction when sliding over the printing on the jumping mat or the padding could result in the ink rubbing off onto skin or clothing. It may be difficult to remove the ink from clothing. The ink meets the stringent chemical requirements imposed on toy products, therefore contact with the skin or ingestion of this ink has no harmful effects on human health.

Information

• BERG product to be used as defined in manual. Usage that deviates from manual instruction may potentially lead to serious injury or damage of the product. Read all instructions prior to trampoline usage. To ensure safe and enjoyable usage of the BERG trampoline, warnings, and instructions for care and maintenance are included.
• Ensure a minimum clearance of at least 2 meters from trees, fences and any other surrounding obstacles.
• It is required to have a minimum overhead clearance of 7 meters measured from the ground.
• For safety reasons, unless BERG-approved, modifications or changes to the trampoline are prohibited.

Jumping instructions

• When using a BERG Trampoline, it is essential that the correct posture is assumed. The correct posture and balance are obtained by tightening the right muscles, making it possible to practise trampolining safely.

• Good posture ensures safe usage of the BERG trampoline. When jumping, the body is exposed to shocks
  that require correct absorption. By tensing your muscles, you obtain better control over your balance and this results in more jumping resilience. In contrast, a more relaxed posture leads to loss of energy and jumping resilience. Begin with the basic jumps and jumping positions and only increase complexity when mastered.

• To come to a stop position when jumping, bend and flex knees when your feet touch the mat. Learn this skill before attempting others.

• Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. A variety of jumping techniques can be carried out solo or in series and/or combinations between bounces.

• Avoid bouncing too high. First obtain jumping control with proper landing position in the middle of mat. From a safety perspective, control is more important than height.

• To ensure and maintain control while jumping, ensure the jumping posture is straight, the head is in an upright position and the eyes are focused on the jump mat.

• Check the condition of the springs (broken or excessive stretching) and the attachment of the springs to the frame and jumping mat. The springs and the suspension system are subject to wear and tear; replace worn parts in time.

Basic jumps

• Basic bounce
  Upright position, head held in an upright position. Their eyes focused on the jump mat. While jumping upwards, swing your arms forward and in a Circular motion and point your toes downwards. Keep feet positioned together, toes pointed downwards when returning back to the Jump mat. When landing on the Jump mat, keep your feet approximately 40 cm apart.

• Hands and knees bounce
  Commence with basic bounce. Keep your eyes focused on the jump mat. Swing arms forward and in a circular motion. Land on hands and knees. Push off with hands and return to an upright position.

• Seat drop
  Commence with basic bounce. Keep your eyes focused on the jump mat. Land in a sitting position. Place hands next to hips on the jump mat when in a sitting position. Push off with hands and return to an upright position.

• Stomach jumps
  Commence with a basic bounce and land on your stomach. Keep your head straight. Keep arms extended forward on the jump mat. Push off with hands and return to an upright position.

• Back drop
  Commence with a basic bounce and land on your back. Keep your chin pressed against your chest during the landing. Kick forward and up with legs when returning to a standing position.

Assembly and maintenance instructions
