3. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION FOR USE
The trampoline must only be used supervised, regardless of the bouncing abilities and the age of
the user.
The person jumping has to master all basic bouncing techniques (see paragraph "basic bouncing
techniques").
The emphasis must be put on a controlled bouncing. The person jumping must not try to outdo
another person.
Do not bounce too long. Fatigue can increase the risk of injury.
The user should wear appropriate clothing such as T-shirts, trunks and trainers with soft soles or
jump barefoot.
We recommend that beginners wear long trunks and tops with long sleeves in order to prevent
abrasions.
Please refer to the paragraph "ascending and descending" in paragraph "accident prevention". Do
not exert difficult bounces without being supervised by a skilled trampoline coach. Begin with
easy bounce putting an emphasis on the bouncing technique rather than on the bouncing height.
Never jump on the trampoline alone and unattended. See paragraph "basic bouncing
techniques".
4. ASSEMBLING THE TRAMPOLINE
A clearance space of at least 9m is necessary above the trampoline. An appropriated clearance
must be kept between the trampoline and possible sources of danger, such as electric cables,
tree branches, playing devices, swimming pools and fences.
The trampoline must not be placed on hard surface such as asphalt, concrete, etc...
Please make sure that:
✓
The trampoline has been placed on an even, solid and non-skid surface.
✓
The place is well lit.

5. MAINTENANCE
In order to maintain the safety standard of the trampoline is has to be checked regularly.
Defective parts such as connecting devices have to be replaced immediately. The trampoline
must not be used before it has been completely repaired.
The trampolines are galvanized. Despite the galvanization there might be rust-streaked place at
the connector points or under the protection covers. In order to avoid rust please lubricate the
frame holes and the connecting devices regularly with petroleum jelly or another appropriate
lubricant. This will increase the durability of the frame.
