INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY, MAINTENANCE AND USE OF TRAMPOLINES.
YOUR NEW TRAMPOLINE
ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
Trampolines must be assembled by an adult. They must be erected exactly in accordance with the assembly
instructions, which follow. Enlisting the aid of a helper will make assembly easier. This pack may contain small parts and is
not suitable for children under 36 months until fully assembled. Please take an inventory of all parts before assembly and
ensure that all parts listed are included.
Also please take care during assembly as the manufacturing process can sometimes result in the occasional sharp edge
and small pieces of waste metalwork. The use of gloves to protect your hands from pinch points during assembly is also
recommended. Should there be any missing parts, the toy must not be used until replacement parts have been fitted.

SITING
The trampoline must always be used in a well lit area. Under no circumstances should it be positioned on a hard surface
such as concrete or asphalt, unless the ground under the
trampoline plus the recommended freespace area is covered with
a safety surface (please refer to diagram on page 30). Examples of
suitable surfaces are grass, sand or a play surface intended for this
use. The trampoline must be placed on a level surface. A minimum
of 24ft of overhead clearance is required for this product.
Adequate horizontal clearance must be maintained from objects
and possible hazards including electric power wiring, tree limbs
and fencing.
HIGH WINDS
It is possible for the trampoline to be
blown about by high wind. If you
anticipate high winds, the
trampoline should be moved to a
sheltered location,or be
disassembled, or the round outside
portion (top frame) should be tied to
the ground using rope and stakes.
At least three tie-downs should be
used. Do not simply secure the legs
to the ground, as they can pull out
of the frame sockets.
Three point tie-down using
rope and stakes.
GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
USAGE
This trampoline is designed and made for family outdoor domestic use only. The trampoline is intended to be used by
one child at a time, weighing less than 60kg. The trampoline is not intended for use outside of these guidelines. The user
should be either barefoot, in socks, or wearing gymnastic shoes. Misuse can result in injury. Inspect the trampoline before
use and always replace worn, defective or missing parts. The pads should always be fitted.
SUPERVISION
Children should always be supervised while they are playing on trampolines and should be instructed not to use the
trampoline in an inappropriate or hazardous manner. We recommend that they do not wear loose-fitting clothing or
jewellery than may catch or snag during play. Ensure that younger children do not walk or crawl underneath the
trampoline and keep the area around and underneath free from all solid objects at all times.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
Special care should be taken as weather conditions change. In particular, a wet trampoline mat (bed) is too slippery
for safe jumping. Gusty or severe winds can cause jumpers to lose control. To reduce the chance of injury, use the
trampoline only under appropriate weather conditions. In cold weather, tongues and lips can stick to metalwork at
subzero temperatures. In warmer and sunnier weather, parts can become hot, and the temperature should be regularly
checked during play, especially metal parts.
WATER PLAY
Many surfaces can become slippery during water play. Extra caution and supervision is required when combining water
(e.g. paddling pools, aqua slides etc.) with other forms of outdoor play.
