4S002039 Action Family Trampoline
Warnings (cont)
17. Climb on and off the trampoline, do not jump on or off. It is dangerous to jump from the
trampoline to the ground when dismounting, or onto the trampoline when mounting.
Always use two hands to hold onto the frame when getting on or off the trampoline. Never
use the springs as hand grips. Small children may need assistance getting on or off of the
trampoline.
18. When bouncing on the trampoline, always aim for the centre of the mat. Focus your eyes on
the edge of the trampoline. This will help you control your bounce. Bouncing near the edge of
the mat can lead to injury and stretch the springs. The frame pad is not designed to support
the weight of the trampoline user.
19. Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the mat. Learn this
skill before you attempt any other.
20. Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and repeatedly land in
the centre of the mat.
21. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects. Use the trampoline only for

Safety Information
Trampolines are great fun, encourage the development of gross motor skills; provide opportunities for
physical activity and present users with manageable challenges to find and test their limits. However, like
many physical activities, trampoline use involves potential risk of injury, particularly if the equipment is
used improperly.
Injury surveillance and hospital admissions data shows that trampolines feature frequently in injury
presentations and admissions. Children under 14 years of age account for about 90% of all trampoline-
related injuries. 28% of the trampoline-related injuries were sustained by children under five years of age
and more than a third of the injuries related to multi-users. (Victorian Injury Surveillance Unit—Hazard
75, Autumn 2013, pg. 3.)
The following points are important to note:
• Injury data indicates that people can be severely injured if they land on an unprotected trampoline
frame or springs or if they fall from the trampoline. Impact attenuation systems such as pads are
intended to minimize the risk of injury and enclosures are intended to stop people falling off the
trampoline.
• Ensure pads (where they are required) and enclosures are attached to the trampoline before use.
• The risk of injury increases when more than one person at a time bounces on a trampoline. Smaller
children are at increased risk when jumping with adults and/or larger children, for example, a
‘double bounce’ dramatically increases the energy transferred to the smaller body and children’s legs
have been broken and severe spinal injuries have occurred as a result.
• Ensure only one person at a time bounces on the trampoline.
• Children are oen unable to identify hazards and do not have a well-developed ability to assess risk
and may, if le unsupervised, be at more risk of injury.
• Always supervise children while they are using the trampoline.
• Over-confidence can lead to injury.
• Learn fundamental bounces first before trying more complex manoeuvres.
• Inappropriate clothing can cause injury.
• Clothing should allow plenty of body movement without flapping loosely and becoming a distraction
to the jumper.
• Wear clothing free of drawstrings, hooks, loops or anything that could get caught while using the
trampoline and result in entanglement or strangulation. Buckles, jewellery and belts should not be
worn, as these may damage the trampoline mat or cause injury to the jumper if they become caught
in the fabric of the trampoline. Shoes should be removed as they may damage the bed and increase
the risk of injury.
• Better design, good construction and improved safety features go a long way toward minimizing
the hazards associated with trampoline use; however, trampolines need to be used, cared for and
maintained appropriately to ensure the benefits of these features continue throughout the life of the
product.

8S002039 Action Family Trampoline
Safe Use Instructions
To reduce the risk of injury while using the trampoline, develop household rules such as the following:
• Do not allow children under 6 years on the trampoline.
• Allow only one person on the trampoline at any one time.
• Active, competent supervision is essential—always supervise children while they are using the
trampoline.
• Ensure any pads (where they are required) covering the frame/suspension system are securely
attached at all times.
• Check the trampoline before use and ensure it is in good condition. Replace any worn or broken
parts. Use only parts that are recommended by the manufacturer.
• Make sure that the area around, underneath and above the trampoline is clear of objects that could
interfere with the person jumping. Do not allow children, pets, toys or other play equipment to be
present under the trampoline.
• Adults should model safe use of trampolines when children are present.
• Wear comfortable clothing that won’t become entangled in the trampoline’s components and
become a strangulation hazard. Do not wear jewellery or drawstrings/cords that can catch on the
trampoline and create a strangulation hazard. Remove shoes as they may damage the bed and
increase the risk of injury.
• Children should be educated by responsible adults to always climb on and off the trampoline, and
never jump or bounce off. It is dangerous practice to jump or bounce from the trampoline when
dismounting. Never use springs or suspension elements as ‘hand grips’ when getting on and off the
trampoline.
• Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced
manoeuvrers. A variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic
fundamentals in various series and combinations, or performing one fundamental bounce aer the
other, with or without bounces between them.

Basic Trampolining Instructions
This trampoline is a domestic trampoline, not a gymnastics trampoline. You will get the safest and best
use from it by following these basic principles:
• Do not attempt or allow somersaults on the trampoline. Landing on your head or neck while doing
somersaults can cause serious injury, paralysis or even death.
• Do not use the trampoline when wet. The mat will be slippery and make landing less sure.
• Do not use a trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Balance, perception and
assessment of risk will be affected and may lead to injury.
• Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects. Use the trampoline only for trampoline
style bouncing.
• Focus your eyes on the edge of the trampoline. This will help control your bounce.
• Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline bed. Learn
this skill before you attempt any others.
• Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and repeatedly land in the
centre of the trampoline.
• Do not bounce immediately aer a meal.

Assembly Instructions
To assemble this trampoline all you will need is the spring hook that is provided within the carton. During
periods of non-use, the trampoline can be disassembled and stored.
Prior to assembling this trampoline, remove all parts from the carton and check to ensure that all parts
listed in the Parts List on page 5 are present. If you’re missing any of the parts, please call our National
Service Centre to have replacement parts sent out prior to beginning assembly (details can be found in
the warranty pages at the end of this manual).
NOTE: It is recommended that people who are willing to install the trampoline should wear gloves to
prevent injuries.
NOTE: It is recommended that 2 adults assemble this trampoline.
NOTE: Spring hooks must face downwards to the underside of the trampoline.
NOTE: If there is a shortage of springs or mat wires when unpacked, the trampoline may still be
used by leaving out the second spring from the corners of the trampoline. This will not damage the
trampoline.
NOTE: If you have any problems by this stage, please do not try to install the trampoline and call 1800 465 070

Step 1
Referring to Fig 1, insert Leg Extensions (C) into Legs Tubes (D), and push the Side Frames (E) into the
Leg Extensions (C) making sure spring holes are facing inward.
NOTE: If they are angled towards the
outside of the trampoline, detach from
the Leg Extensions (C) and reverse
the side frame end then re-attach to
the Leg Extensions (C).

Step 2
Lay the Mat (A) in the centre of the frame with the sewn edge downwards. Then attach one spring into
each of the 4 corner triangles and then attach springs to the frame. The short end of the spring goes into
the triangle and the long end goes onto the frame. Spring hooks must face downwards. Occasionally you
may have to give the spring a half turn to make it face downwards.

14 S002039 Action Family Trampoline
Assembly Instructions (cont)
Step 3
Attach the short end of the spring into the triangle attached to the mat and then use the spring hook
supplied to stretch the spring across the frame and place this end of the spring into the slot provided.
Refer to illustration. Attach 3-4 springs on each corner of the side frames. This will force the side frames
together slightly to enable attachment of end frames.

15 S002039 Action Family Trampoline
Assembly Instructions (cont)
Step 4
Place the end frame (F) on the ground at the ends of the trampoline. Pick up one end of the end frame and
slide partly onto the Side Frame (E) then swing the other end of the End Frame up and slide onto the side
frame. If it is still difficult to attach the end frame, it will be neccessary to attach more springs onto the
side frames to pull side frames closer together and allow the end frames to fit.
Now fit the stays (G) to each end of the trampoline.

Assembly Instructions (cont)
Step 5
Attach remainder of the springs working evenly from side to side, end to end. DO NOT attach all one
side or one end at a time as this will pull the mat unevenly and could cause premature stretching of the
springs on the opposite side of end.
Step 6
Using 2 x Bolt (I), attach Stay Bar (G) to the frame and leg for added support for your trampoline.
Repeat for the other side.

Basic Skills
Bouncing
The most important thing about bouncing is that it should be done with control in the centre of the bed.
The basic bounce should always begin low. High, reckless bouncing should never be allowed.
The Stop Bounce
This technique allows the user to gain control by stopping quickly. It is achieved by keeping the feet in
contact with the bed, and absorbing the rebound of the trampoline with the knees and waist. This skill
should be the first skill learnt and should be employed whenever you feel out of balance, or land away
from the centre area.
To Learn The Stop Bounce:
1. Stand in centre of the bed with your feet about hip-width apart.
2. Attempt about three easy bounces, keep them low and controlled.
3. Focus your eyes towards the perimeter of the trampoline while bouncing in order to keep
your balance.
4. Stop the bounce by bending at your knees and hips on contact with the bed.
Arm Action
Arms are very important for proper control and li. Whenever you go up, your arms go up. They go up
to a set position about shoulder height and shoulder width. They should remain in this balanced position
until you start down. Then they circle down and slightly behind the hips, ready to li again as you bounce
up (see Figure B1).

Basic Skills (cont)
Bounce Variations
Figures B2, B3 and B4 show three variations, the tuck, the pike, and the straddle pike respectively. These
should be assumed at the top of the bounce, before resuming the normal landing position on your feet.
Figure B2 - Tuck Figure B3 - Pike Figure B4 - Straddle Pike
Practice these simple variations and concentrate on perfect form. Make sure that your toes are pointed
and fingers are straight. These are simple variations to the basic bounce and are very important for
gaining experience in coordinated movement.
