3 SAFETY INFORMATION, WARNINGS AND USE INSTRUCTIONS Before you begin using 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. Proper assembly, care and maintenance of product, safety tips, warnings, and proper techniques in jumping and bouncing are all included in this manual. Anyone who chooses to use this trampoline must be aware of their own limitations in regards to performing various jumps and bounces with this trampoline. The owner and supervisors of the trampoline are responsible for making sure all users are aware of practices specified in the instructions. NOTE MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF THE USER SHOULD NOT EXCEED 100KGS WARNING 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. Misuse and abuse of this trampoline is dangerous and can cause serious injury! Always consult a physician before performing any kind of physical activity. Children under six years of age should not be allowed to use a trampoline without adult supervision. Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum of 7 meters 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 mat. DO NOT allow more than one person on the trampoline at a time. Use by more than one person at the same time can result in serious injury. DO NOT bounce recklessly on the trampoline as this will increase your chances of getting injured. Never use the trampoline without supervision. DO NOT bounce on the trampoline for extended periods of time because fatigue can increase your chances of injury. Inspect the trampoline before each use. Make sure the frame padding is correctly and securely positioned. Replace any worn, defective or missing parts. It is dangerous to jump off the trampoline to the floor or ground. DO NOT use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects. Learn your fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. 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! Keep eyes focused on the trampoline. This will help control your bounce. Secure the trampoline properly 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 of alcohol or drugs. DO NOT smoke while using the trampoline. DO NOT use the trampoline in bad weather conditions. Gusty or severe winds and rain will make using the trampoline hazardous. NEVER use the trampoline if mat is wet or dirty. DO NOT place trampoline on concrete, hard ground surface (ie. rock) or slippery surfaces. 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. 3

4 DO NOT intentionally jump onto the trampoline enclosure. DO NOT intentionally rebound off the enclosure. DO NOT hang onto the top of the enclosure, or try to climb on the netting. Take off any jewellery that may become entangled with the netting or damage the netting. DO NOT wear clothing with draw strings, loops, hooks or hard abrasive buckles. The enclosure is not designed to attach any accessories unless designed by the manufacturer. Climb on and off the trampoline at the enclosure door opening only. DO NOT try to crawl into the trampoline from the bottom of the enclosure. For further information or additional instructional materials on skill training, contact a competent trampoline instructor. BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE WHEN YOU USE THE TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE. ALWAYS INSPECT THE TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE BEFORE EACH USE.

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. 4

5 TIPS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE SAFETY, WARNING AND USE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL Supervisors Role in Accident Prevention: They 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 unauthorised 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. Jumper s Role in Accident Prevention:The key here is to stay in control of your jumps. DO NOT move onto more complicated 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. 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! Make sure to climb on and off the the trampoline at the enclosure door only! 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 Alcoholor Drugs: DO NOT consume any alcohol or drugs when using trampoline! This will increase your chances of getting injured as these substances impair your judgment, reaction time, and overall physical co-ordination. Multiple Jumpers: Only one person should be on the trampoline at a time. 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 lose control, collide with the other jumper(s), or land on the springs. Generally, the lightest person on the trampoline will get injured. Landing on 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 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 your 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 the 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 serious injury or even death, 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. Overhead and Lateral Clearance: It is essential to ensure that there is overhead and lateral clearance. The trampoline must be placed a minimum of 7 meters from ground level to provide clearance for wires, tree limbs, and other possible hazards. 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. 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. 5

6 BOUNCING TECHNIQUES A trampoline instructor should be contacted to further develop your trampoline skills. BASIC BOUNCE 1. Start from standing position, feet shoulder width apart, head up and eyes focused on the mat. 2. Swing arms forward and up 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 while keeping it low. 2. Land on knees keeping your back straight, using your arms to maintain balance. 3. Bounce back to basic bounce position by swinging arms up. SEAT BOUNCE 1. Start with basic bounce while keeping it low. 2. Land in a sitting position. 3. Place hands on the mat besides hips, do not lock your elbows. 4. Return to standing position by pushing up with hands. FRONT BOUNCE 1. Start with basic bounce while keeping it low. 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. WARNING: ALWAYS START YOUR JUMP IN THE CENTRE OF THE MAT.

9 TRAMPOLINE AND NET ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS TRAMPOLINE PLACEMENT For safe use of the trampoline, please be aware of the following when selecting a place for your trampoline: Make sure it is placed on a level surface The area is well lit There are no obstructions beneath the trampoline The minimum overhead clearance required is 7 meters. Please ensure that there are no overhead hazards such as tree limbs or electrical power wiring. Make sure there is lateral clearance around the trampoline from hazardous objects such as walls or fences. PLEASE READ THIS ASSEMBLY GUIDE AND THEN START TO ASSEMBLE THE TRAMPOLINE BY FOLLOWING THE DETAILS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. INCORRECT ASSEMBLY WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TRAMPOLINE FRAME. 1. Please make sure the trampoline is placed on level ground. Uneven ground surface may cause trampoline frame to warp. 2. Please make sure that all bolts holding the frame joints are tighten completely before installing the springs. Failure to do this properly will cause the frame to warp. 3. Please make sure NOT to use one s leg to push against the trampoline leg frame when loading the springs. It will cause the trampoline to warp. 4. Please DO NOT load the springs onto the frame on only one side of the trampoline. Uneven distribution of the tension from the springs will cause the frame to warp. 5. If the trampoline frame warps up, do not be alarmed as the Quad-Lock system is designed to be flexible. Please push down on the part of the frame that warped with two people as shown. The frame will level out. 9
