Maintenance
Although your trampoline does not require any particular maintenance, a few precautions are necessary when not in use:

• The trampoline must be kept dry as much as possible. It is therefore best to cover it with a protective cover after each use or dismantle it and store it in a dry and sheltered location when not in use.
• Regularly inspect your trampoline for any defects or premature wear.
• Your trampoline was made by using an anti-rust treatment. However, if traces of rust appear following prolonged exposure, it is recommended to attend to these immediately with regular anti-rust treatment.
• If parts are missing or damaged, directly contact our customer service.
• When dismantling your trampoline, follow the assembly instructions above in reverse.

Basic techniques

The basic bounce

• Start in an upright position.
• Swing your arms forward in a circular motion.
• After gaining momentum, bring together the tips of your feet pointing downwards while in the air.

Cushioning/slowing down

• Users may lose their balance. The cushioning technique allows balance to be quickly regained.
• Start with a normal jump.
• When you come into contact with the mat, bend your knees to cushion and bounce.

The hand and knee drop

• Start with a basic bounce.
• Land on your hands and knees, with your back straight.
• Concentrate on landing evenly on the four contact points, rather than on the height of the jump.

Seat drop

• Land in a seated position, with your hands on the mat.
• Return to the basic position by pushing with your hands.
