INTRODUCTION
Before you begin use of this trampoline, be sure to carefully read all the information provided to
you in this manual. Just like any other type of physical recreational activity, participants can be
injured. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to follow appropriate safety rules and tips.
Dear Customer:
Thank you for purchasing this product. We hope that you will enjoy it. Please note that it is not
unusual for it to take more than an hour to assemble this product, so please be patient and enjoy
this process with a friend.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Misuse and abuse of this trampoline is dangerous and can cause serious injury!
• Trampolines, being rebounding devices, propel the performer to unaccustomed heights and into
a variety of body movements so always inspect the trampoline before each use for worn-out
mat and loose or missing parts.
• Proper assembly, care and maintenance of product, safety tips, warnings, and proper techniques
in jumping and bouncing are all included in this manual. All users and supervisors must read
and familiarize themselves with these instructions. Anybody who chooses to use this trampoline
must be aware of their own limitations in regards to performing various jumps and bounces
with this trampoline.
1
IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
The owner and supervisors of the trampoline are responsible for making sure all users are aware
of practices specified in the instructions.
•฀฀ Only one person must be on the trampoline at a time as multiple jumpers may result in
collisions and injuries.
• Do not try to do somersaults or flips on the trampoline as this may result in serious injury.
• The manufacturer strongly recommends the use of the trampoline enclosure when using
this trampoline, to reduce the risk of falling off. Falling off the trampoline may cause
serious injury or death.
• This product is not suitable for children younger than 6 years of age.
• THE MAXIMUM USER WEIGHT of this trampoline is 100 Kgs.
• Always consult a physician before performing any kind of physical activity.
• Secure the trampoline against unauthorized and unsupervised use. Children under six years
of age should not be allowed to use a trampoline.
• Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum of 7m from ground level is recommended
to provide clearance for wires, tree limbs, and other possible hazards.
• Lateral clearance is essential. Place the trampoline away from walls, structures, fences, and
other play areas. Maintain a clear space of 2.5 meters on all sides of the trampoline.
• Place the trampoline on a level surface before use.
• Illumination may be required for shady areas.
• Remove any obstructions from beneath the trampoline.
• Do not attempt or allow somersaults. Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury,
paralysis or death, even when landing in the middle of the trampoline bed.
• Do not allow more than one person on the trampoline. Use by more than one person at the
same time can result in serious injury.
• Climb on and off the trampoline. It is a dangerous practice to jump from the trampoline to the
floor or ground.
• Do not use the trampoline as a springboard onto other objects.
• Stop bounce by flexing knees as feet come into contact with the trampoline. Learn this skill
before attempting others.
• Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills.
A variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic fundamentals in
various series and combinations.
2
•
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until bounce control and repeated landing in the centre of
the trampoline can be accomplished. Control is more important than height.
•
Focus eyes on the trampoline. This will help control bounce.
•
Avoid bouncing when tired. Keep turns short.
•
Properly secure the trampoline when not in use. If a trampoline ladder is used, the supervisor
should remove it from the trampoline when leaving the area to prevent unsupervised access
by children under 6 years of age.
•
Do not use the trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Bounce only when the surface of the mat is dry.
•
Wind or air movement should be calm to gentle. The trampoline must not be used in gusty or
severe winds (for more info see next page).
•
Do not place trampoline on concrete floor, hard ground surface (i.e. rock) or slippery surface.
•
Do not use your trampoline indoors.
•
Jumpers must always 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.
•
Jumpers must always remove all sharp objects from their person prior to using the trampoline.
•
Always start your jump at the broken circle printed on the trampoline mat. When you land more
than 30cm away from the edge of the broken circle, stop your jump immediately and restart
your jump at the broken circle.
•
Do not intentionally jump onto the trampoline enclosure.
•
Do not try to intentionally rebound off the enclosure.
•
Do not hang on the top of the enclosure, or try to climb on the netting.

INFORMATION ON USE OF THE TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE
ALWAYS INSPECT THE TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE BEFORE EACH USE. MAKE SURE
THE FRAME PADDING IS CORRECTLY AND SECURELY POSITIONED AND REPLACE ANY
WORN, DEFECTIVE, OR MISSING PARTS. 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 types (especially sharp typed) on the frame, springs or mat.
• Be sure that netting is properly suspended, prior to each use. Tighten all clamps that are
loose and make sure that there is no damage to the netting.
IF YOU FIND ANY OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU FEEL
COULD CAUSE HARM TO ANY USER, THE TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE SHOULD BE
DISASSEMBLED OR SECURED FROM USE UNTIL THE ABOVE CONDITION(S) HAVE BEEN
REPAIRED OR RESOLVED.
IN 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 round, 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. Do not just secure the
legs of the trampoline to the ground because they can pull out the frame sockets.
USING A TRAMPOLINE:
Initially, you should get accustomed to the feel and bounce of the trampoline. The focus must be
on the fundamentals of your body position and you should practice each bounce (the basic
bounces) until you can do each skill with ease and control.
STOPPING:
To stop a bounce, all you need to do is flex your knees as your feet come in contact with the mat
of the trampoline. This technique should be practiced while you are learning each of the basic
bounces. The skill of stopping should be used whenever you lose balance or control of your jump.
Always learn the simplest bounce first and be consistent with the control of your bounce before
moving on to more difficult and advanced bounces. A controlled bounce is one when your take
off point and landing point is the same spot on the mat. If you move up to the next bounce without
first mastering the previous, you increase your chances of getting injured.
Do not bounce on the trampoline for extended periods of time because fatigue can increase your
chances of becoming injured. Bounce for a brief period of time and then allow others to join in
on the fun! Never have more than one person bouncing on the trampoline at a time.
Jumpers should wear t-shirts, shorts or sweats and be barefoot. If you are just beginning, you
may want to wear long sleeve shirts and pants to protect against scrapes and abrasions until you
master correct landing positions and form. Do not wear hard sole shoes, such as tennis shoes
on the trampoline, as this will cause excessive wear on the mat material and could cause you to
slip.
You should always mount and dismount properly in order to avoid injury. To mount properly, you
should place your hand on the frame and either step or roll up onto the frame, over the springs,
and onto the trampoline mat. You should always remember to place your hands onto the frame
while mounting or dismounting. Do not step directly onto the frame pad or grasp the frame pad.
To dismount properly, move over to the side of the trampoline and place your hand onto the frame
as a support and step from the mat to the ground. Smaller children should be assisted when
mounting and dismounting the trampoline.
Do not bounce recklessly on the trampoline since this will increase your chances of getting injured.
The key to safety and having fun on the trampoline is control and mastering the various bounces.
Never try to out-bounce another bouncer in terms of height! Never use the trampoline alone
without supervision.

ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION
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 by jumping onto the mat
of the trampoline from any object (i.e. a deck, roof, or ladder). This will increase your chances of
getting injured! DO NOT dismount by jumping off the trampoline and landing on the ground,
regardless of the makeup of 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 drugs when using this trampoline! This
will increase your chances of getting injured since these foreign substances impair your judgment,
reaction time, and overall physical co-ordination.
Multiple Jumpers: If you have multiple jumpers (more than one person on the trampoline at any
one time), you increase the chance of getting injured. Injuries could occur when you fly off the
trampoline, lose control, collide with the other jumper(s), or land on the springs. Generally, the
lightest person on the trampoline will get injured.
Striking the Frame or Springs: When using the trampoline, stay in the center of the mat. This will
reduce your risk of getting injured by landing on the frame or springs. Always keep the frame pad
covering the frame of the trampoline. DO NOT jump or step onto the frame pad directly since it
was not intended to support the weight of a person.
Loss of Control: DO NOT try difficult maneuvers, or any move until you have mastered the previous
one, or if you are just learning how to jump on a trampoline. If you do, you will increase you risk
of getting injured by landing on the frame, springs, or off the trampoline completely because you
might lose control of your jump. A controlled jump is considered landing on the same spot that
you took off from. If you do lose control when you are jumping on the trampoline, bend your knees
sharply when you land and this will allow you to regain control and stop your jump.
Somersaults (Flips): DO NOT perform somersaults of any type (backwards 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 your chances of getting your neck or back broken, which will 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 anyone
is playing on it. Please be aware of what is overhead when you are playing on the trampoline.
Tree limbs, wires, or other objects located over the trampoline will increase your chances of getting
injured.
Poor Maintenance of Trampoline: A trampoline in poor condition will increase your risk of getting
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: Please be aware of the weather conditions when using the trampoline. If the
mat of the trampoline is wet, the jumper could slip and injure him or herself. If it is too windy,
jumpers could lose control.
Limiting Access: When the trampoline is not in use, if you have an access ladder, store in a secure
place so that unsupervised children cannot play on the trampoline.

TIPS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS
Jumper’s role in accident prevention
The key here is to stay in control of your jumps. DO NOT move onto more complicated, more
difficult maneuvers until you have mastered the basic, fundamental bounce.
Education is also key to safety and very important. Read, understand, and practice all safety
precautions and warnings prior to using the trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land and
take off from the same location. For additional safety tips and instructions, contact a certified
trampoline instructor.
Supervisor’s Role in Accident Prevention
Supervisors need to understand and enforce all safety rules and guidelines. It is the responsibility
of the supervisor to provide knowledgeable advice and guidance to all jumpers of the trampoline.
If supervision is unavailable or inadequate, the trampoline should be stored in a secure place,
disassembled to prevent unauthorized use, or covered with a heavy tarp that can be locked or
secured with a lock or chains. The supervisor is also responsible for ensuring that the safety
placard is placed on the trampoline and that jumpers are informed of these warnings and
instructions.
LESSON PLAN
The following lessons are suggested in order to learn basic steps and bounces before moving
onto more difficult, complicated bounces. Before actually getting on and using the trampoline,
you should read and understand all safety instructions. A complete discussion and demonstration
of body mechanics and trampoline guidelines should occur between the supervisor and student
as well.
Lesson 1
• Mounting and dismounting-demonstration of proper techniques.
• The basic bounce-demonstration and practice.
• Braking (check the bounce-demonstration) and practice. Learn to brake on command.
• Hands and knees-demonstration and practice. Stress should be on four-point landing and
alignment.
Lesson 2
• Review and practice of techniques learned in Lesson 1.
• Knees bounce-demonstration and practice. Learn the basic down to knee and back up before
trying half twist to left and right.
• Seat bounce-demonstration and practice. Learn basic seat bounce then add a knee bounce,
hands and knees; repeat.
Lesson 3
• Review and practice skills and techniques learned in previous lessons.
• Front drop - to avoid mat burns and teach the front bounce position, all students should be
requested to assume the prone position (face down on the ground) while the instructor checks
for faulty positions that could cause injury.
• Start with a hands and knees bounce and then extend body into prone position, and on the
mat and return to feet.
• Practice routine - hands and knees bounce, front bounce, back to feet, seat bounce, back
to feet, seat bounce, back to feet.
Lesson 4
• Review and practice skills and techniques learned in previous lessons.
• Half-turn.
• Start from front drop position and as you make contact with mat, push off with arms in either
the right or left direction and turn head and shoulders in same direction.
• During turn, be sure to keep back parallel to mat and head up.
• After completing turn, land in front drop position.
• After completing this lesson, the student now has a basic foundation of trampoline bounces.
Jumpers should be encouraged to try and develop their own routines with the emphasis on
control and form.

LESSON PLAN CONTINUED
Jumpers should be encouraged to try and develop their own routines with the emphasis on control
and form. A game that can be played in order to encourage students to try to develop routines
is “BOUNCE”. In this game, players count off from 1 to X. Player one starts with a maneuver.
Player two has to do Player one’s maneuver and add on another. The first person to miss, receives
the letter “B”. This continues until someone spells out the word “BOUNCE”. The last remaining
contestant is deemed the winner! Even when playing this game, it is important to perform your
routines under control and not try difficult or highly skilled bounces that you have not yet mastered.
A certified trampoline instructor should be contacted to further develop your trampoline skills.
BASIC BOUNCE
1. Start from standing position, feet shoulder width apart
and with head up and eyes on mat.
2. Swing arms forward and up and around in a circular
motion.
3. Bring feet together while in mid-air and point toes
downward.
4. Keep feet shoulder width apart when landing on mat.
KNEE BOUNCE
1. Start with basic bounce and keep it low.
2. Land on knees keeping back straight, body erect and use
your arms to maintain balance.
3. Bounce back to basic bounce position by swinging arms
up.
SEAT BOUNCE
1. Start with basic bounce and keep it low.
2. Land in a flat sitting position.
3. Place hands on mat besides hips, do not lock your
elbow.
4. Return to erect position by pushing with hands.
FRONT BOUNCE
1. Start with a low bounce.
2. Land in prone (face down) position and keep hands and
arms extended forward on mat.
3. Push off the mat with arms to return to standing position.
180 DEGREE BOUNCE
1. Start with front bounce position.
2. Push off with left or right hands and arms (depending on
which way you wish to turn).
3. Maintain head and shoulders in th e same direction and
keep back parallel to mat and head up.
4. Land in prone position and return to standing
position by pushing up with hands and arms.
