To ensure your future enjoyment and the prevention of injury, be sure to follow appropriate safety rules and tips.
  • Retain this manual for future reference; contains important information.
  • ALWAYS CONSULT A DOCTOR/PHYSICIAN BEFORE PERFORMING ANY KIND OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
  • ALWAYS CHECK YOUR TRAMPOLINE BEFORE USE, PAYING SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO ALL THE BOLTS, JUMP MAT AND PADS POSITION. DON’T USE IF ANY PARTS ARE MISSING OR LOOK LIKE THEY SHOW WEAR AND TEAR.
  • ALWAYS ENSURE THAT WHENEVER THE TRAMPOLINE IS USED BY ANYONE AT ANY SKILL LEVEL DO SO UNDER SUPERVISION.
  • Stop exercising immediately should you feel unwell or if you feel pain in your joints and muscles. Dizziness is a sign of fatigue and you should stop bouncing and lay down on the ground should you feel dizzy.
  • When using this trampoline ensure appropriate clothing is worn, preferably sportswear and socks.
  • Please be warned that the trampoline is spring based and will allow the user to jump to a greater height than that on the ground, so please bear this in mind and ensure that you are comfortable bouncing at low heights first.
  • Proper assembly, care, and maintenance of the product, safety tips, warnings, and proper techniques for jumping on your trampoline are included in this manual for your safety and an extended product life span. All users and supervisors should therefore familiarize themselves with these instructions. Anybody who chooses to use the trampoline must be aware of their own limitations with regard to performing skills on this trampoline.
  • The trampoline should be assembled on grass or BSI-approved safety matting. Shall neither be installed over concrete, asphalt or any other hard surface nor at the proximity of other conflicting installations (e.g. paddling pools, swings, slides, climbing frames)

  • Place the trampoline on a level surface at least 2 m from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines or electrical wires.
  • In case of missing or broken parts, please contact the place of purchase for assistance.
  • Modifications made by the consumer to the original trampoline (e.g. the addition of an accessory) shall be carried out according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
  • The hole should not accumulate water (so drainage is necessary) and it should be possible to clean during maintenance.
  • We are not liable for any injuries that may occur when using the trampoline.
Use of the trampoline

Initially, you should get accustomed to your trampoline and understand how much spring is in each bounce. The focus at this point should be body position and technique until each skill can be completed with ease and control.

  • BEFORE YOU TRY TO JUMP TOO HIGH the technique for stopping should be learned as this will help prevent injury should you feel you are jumping out of control.
  • As the user lands on the bed, the knees should be bent so that they stop and absorb the spring in the mat. The position is shown in the image to the left. Arms are held out for an increased level of balance.
  • This skill is used when the trampoline user wishes to stop bouncing on the trampoline due to fatigue, loss of control, etc.

SOMERSAULTS (FLIPS):
DO NOT PERFORM somersaults of any type (backward or forwards)on this trampoline.If you make a mistake when trying to perform a somersault, you could land on your head or neck. This will increase the chances of your neck or back is broken, which could result in death or paralysis.

FOREIGN OBJECTS:
DO NOT use the trampoline if there are pets, other people, or any objects underneath the trampoline. This will increase the chances of an injury occurring, DO NOT hold any foreign objects in your hand, and DO NOT place any objects on the trampoline while in use. DO NOT place the trampoline under overhanging objects like tree branches, wires, etc as these will increase your chances of being injured.

POOR MAINTENANCE OF THE TRAMPOLINE:
A trampoline in poor condition will increase your risk of being injured. Please inspect the trampoline before each use for bent steel tubes, torn mat, loose or broken springs and overall stability of the trampoline.

WEATHER CONDITIONS:
Warning. Do not use in strong wind conditions and secure the trampoline. Please be aware of the weather conditions when using the trampoline. Don’t use the trampoline when it’s wet. If it is too windy, the user could lose control.

RESTRICTING ACCESS:
When the trampoline is not in use, always store the access ladder in a secure place so that unsupervised children can not play on the trampoline.

Tips to reduce the risk of accidents

EXIT-TOYS-12.95.06-Silhouette-Ground-Trampoline-fig-7

  • Always remain in control of their jumps and body position at all times.
  • Not attempt to perform skills that are beyond their own level of competence.
  • Read and understand the jump by taking off and landing in the middle of the trampoline.
  • Always control their jump by taking off and landing in the middle of the trampoline.
  • Warning. Always Jump in the middle of the mat. Always jump vertically and refrain from bouncing towards the springs in any direction.
  • Always consult a professional certified trampoline instructor before attempting anything beyond basic techniques.

In order to reduce the risk of an accident the “SUPERVISOR” should:

  • Fully understand and enforce all the safety rules and guidelines.
  • Advise the trampoline user and provide knowledge in what they are doing right and wrong to ensure safety of the trampoline user.
  • Be aware and advise the trampoline user of all the safety warnings.
  • Warning. Do not exit the trampoline by a jump.

Trampoline Safety Instructions

ADVISORY PRECAUTIONS WHILST USING THE TRAMPOLINEEXIT-TOYS-12.95.06
-Silhouette-Ground-Trampoline-fig-8

  • Do not use trampoline if you have consumed alcohol or narcotic substances
  • You should climb on and off the trampoline in a controlled and careful manner. Never jump onto or off the trampoline and never use the trampoline as a means to bounce onto or into another object.
  • Always learn the basic bounce and master each type of bounce before trying more difficult types of bounces. Review the basic skills section to learn how to do the basics.
  • To stop your bounce, flex your knees when you land on your feet.
  • Always be in control when you are bouncing on the trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land at the same spot that you took off from. If at any time you feel out of control, stop bouncing immediately.
  • Do not jump or bounce for prolonged periods of time of too high for a number of jumps. Keep your eyes on the mat to maintain control. If you do not, you could lose your balance.
  • Never have more than 1 person on the trampoline at any time. Collision hazard.

ADVISORY PRECAUTIONS WHILST SUPERVISING TRAMPOLINE

IMPORTANT:
Familiarise yourself with the basic jumps and safety rules. To prevent and reduce the risk of injuries, ensure that all safety rules are enforced and the new users learn the basic bounces before trying more advanced techniques.

  • ALL USERS need to be supervised, regardless of skill level or age.
  • Never use the trampoline when it is wet, damaged, dirty, or worn out. The trampoline should be inspected before use.
  • Keep all objects that could interfere during use away from the trampoline at all times. Be aware of what is overhead, underneath and around the trampoline.
  • To prevent unsupervised and unauthorized use, the trampoline should be secured at all times.

Accident classification & identification

MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING:
Be very careful when getting on and off the trampoline. DO NOT mount the trampoline by grabbing the frame pad, stepping onto the springs, or jumping onto the mat of the trampoline from an object(eg. A deck, roof, or ladder ). This is considered highly dangerous. DO NOT dismount by jumping off the trampoline and landing on the ground. If small children are playing on the trampoline, they may need help in mounting and dismounting. USE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS:
DO NOT consume any alcohol or take any drugs (this includes medication that could affect the user’s coordination) when using this trampoline. This is considered highly dangerous since these foreign substances impair your judgments, reaction time, and overall physical coordination. MULTIPLE USERS:
Only one user at a time; the danger of collision! STRIKING THE SPRING FRAME:
When playing on the trampoline, STAY in the center of the trampoline mat. This will reduce the risk of being injured by landing on the spring frame. Always keep the frame pads covering the frame of the trampoline. DO NOT jump or step onto the frame pad directly since it is not intended to support the weight of a person. LOSS OF CONTROL:
DO NOT try difficult maneuvers until you have mastered the basics. If you do not follow these guidelines, you increase the risk of someone being injured. WARNING: Take a break every 10 minutes.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

This trampoline was designed and manufactured with quality materials and craftsmanship. If proper care and maintenance is provided, it will provide all jumpers with years of exercise, fun, and enjoyment as well as reduce the risk of injury. Please follow the guidelines listed below:

This trampoline is designed to withhold a certain amount of weight and use. Please make sure that only one person at any one time uses the trampoline. Jumpers should either wear socks, and gymnastics shoes, or be barefoot when using the trampoline. Please be aware that street shoes or tennis shoes should NOT be worn while using the trampoline. In order to prevent the trampoline mat from getting cut or damaged please do not allow any pets onto the mat. Also, jumpers should remove all sharp objects from their person prior to using the trampoline. Any type of sharp or pointed objects should be kept off the trampoline mat at all times.

Maintenance instructions
Make sure to carry out checks and maintenance of the main parts (frame, suspension system, mat, padding, and enclosure) at the beginning of each season and also at regular intervals of every 2 weeks. If these checks are not carried out, the trampoline could become dangerous!

  • Make sure that the hook-and-loop fasteners are closed correctly during the use of the trampoline!
  • It is necessary to determine whether all nuts and bolts are tight, and if necessary they are tightened;
  • It shall be verified that all spring-loaded connections (locking pin) are undamaged and do not move while playing;
  • Any cover screws and sharp edges must be checked and replaced if necessary;
  • The maintenance manual shall be kept

Always inspect the trampoline before each use for worn, abused, or missing parts. A number of conditions could arise that may increase your chances of getting injured. Please be aware of:

  • Punctures, holes, or tears in the trampoline mat
  • Sagging trampoline mat
  • Loose stitching or any kind of deterioration of the mat
  • Bent or broken frame parts, such as the legs
  • Broken, missing, or damaged springs
  • Damaged, missing, or insecurely attached frame pad
  • Protrusions of any type (especially sharp types) on the frame, springs, or mat

IF YOU FIND ANY OF THE PREVIOUS CONDITIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU FEEL COULD CAUSE HARM TO ANY USER, THE TRAMPOLINE SHOULD BE DISASSEMBLED OR SECURED FROM USE UNTIL THE CONDITION(S) HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.

WINDY CONDITIONS
In severe wind situations, the trampoline can be blown about. If you expect windy weather conditions, the trampoline should be moved to a sheltered area or disassembled. Another option is
to tie the ground, an outside portion (top frame) of the trampoline to the ground using ropes and stakes. To ensure security, at least three (3) tie- downs should be used.

MOVING THE TRAMPOLINE
If you need to move the trampoline, two people should be used. All connector points should be wrapped and secured with weather-resistant tapes, such as duct tape. This will keep the frame intact during the move and prevent the connector points from dislocating and separating. When moving, lift the trampoline slightly off the ground and keep it horizontal to the ground. For any type of another move, you should disassemble the trampoline.

WINTER
In certain countries during the winter periods, the snow load and the very low temperature can damage the trampoline. It is recommended to remove the snow and store the mat and the enclosure indoors.
