SAFE ASSEMBLY
• Never attempt to assemble the Aeroball if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or other substance.
• Fully read and understand the entire instruction manual prior to assembling the
Aeroball. There are multiple steps that must be followed in order to have a safe and
successful assembly.
• Have the correct tools on hand, as prescribed by the manual.
• Assembly of the Aeroball should be performed by adults only. Maintain a safe perimeter
around the work area free of bystanders, components or obstructions.
• The assembly of this product requires ladders or scaffolding. Climbing on the Aeroball
frame is dangerous. Ensure the ladder is stable, solid, and tall enough to reach the top
of the Aeroball without extending reach an unsafe distance.
• Ensure there are no obstructions above the Aeroball that can obstruct the work – e.g.:
lights, electrical cables, sprinklers, drop ceilings, tree branches, etc.
• Failure to observe any of the safety rules listed above may result in serious injury or
death.

SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATORS & EMPLOYEES
THIS GAME IS DESIGNED FOR SAFETY, BUT IT MUST BE USED SAFELY AND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ALL SAFETY RULES!
1. Adult supervision of Aeroball is required at all times.
2. It is recommended that players sign indemnification waivers prior to using the Aeroball
to confirm their physical fitness for play and to recognize the inherent risk in any activity
involving height, motion, and physical activity. If users are under legal age, a parent or
guardian should sign for them.
3. Do not allow anyone under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other inhibiting substance
to use the Aeroball.
4. Do not allow smoking in or around the unit.
5. Operators & supervisors should have the authority to restrict use of Aeroball to those
with the physical ability to play safely.
6. Never allow more than one person on a jump surface at one time. Each trampoline is for
one person at a time only.
7. Do not allow other people to sit or stand on the edges of the trampoline while someone
is inside the Aeroball.
8. Never store anything under the Aeroball; this space must remain clear so that the
movement of the jump’s surfaces are not impeded.
9. Inspect jump surface before each use and all other parts on a periodic basis. Replace
any worn, defective or missing parts with genuine AEROBALL parts. Aeroball jump
surfaces are of 2-ply construction for the safety of users but any defective or worn parts
should be replaced immediately.
10. Do not allow shoes on the jump surface and keep the jump surface free of dirt, rocks,
sand or debris.
11. Enforce all Safety Rules for Players. Ensure safety rules are posted and unobstructed and
require all players to take notice of them.
12. Ensure all new operators are trained in safety rules and procedures.
OUTDOOR USE
AEROBALL MAY BE INSTALLED OUTDOORS BUT SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE FACTORS MUST
BE CONSIDERED.
1. Outdoor units should be anchored securely in case of unexpected high winds. If winds
exceed 25 mph it is recommended that the housings be released from the frame by
removing the housing springs. This should take only a few minutes. It is a good idea to
weigh-down or anchor the Aeroball, contact Aeroball UK to discuss options of an
anchoring plan.

2. No one should play Aeroball in the rain/snow or when the jump surfaces are wet/icy.
3. Play should cease immediately if bad weather is imminent. If lightning appears in the
area, no matter how remotely, cease play and seek shelter.
4. Rain will not affect the Aeroball housing (mesh & fabric parts) or jump surfaces as these
are porous and dry quickly. However, the housings are easy to remove and reinstall and
this is recommended during winter, off-season or protracted periods of bad weather.
5. Aeroball is powder coated over a high quality undercoat but it is recommended to
inspect the painted surface and recoat scratches or other paint damage with Aeroball
touch-up paint. If rust appears it should be cleaned and primed (with a metal primer)
before touch-up paint is applied.
6. When the Aeroball is not in use it must be secured so that unauthorized people cannot
play on the Aeroball or climb on the structure. Exposure to liability may not cease when
your facility is closed.
SAFETY RULES FOR PLAYERS
ANY ACTIVITY INVOLVING HEIGHT AND MOTION CREATES THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY.
STRICTLY OBSERVE ALL THE FOLLOWING RULES TO MINIMIZE THIS POSSIBILITY. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE RULES IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
1. Do not play if you have a physical injury or other impairment or condition.
2. Only one person on each jump surface at one time.
3. Children must have adult supervision while playing
4. Flips, spins, or somersaults are dangerous and are strictly prohibited.
5. Do not land on the jump surface with your knees locked.
6. Do not land on the jump surface with you back arched.
7. Do not drag your feet down the inner net or the outer wall.
8. Do not wear shoes on the jump surface.
9. Do not hang off of or climb onto the court separator.
10. Do not attempt to climb the mesh or hang from the baskets.
11. Use only an Aeroball game ball inside the court. Other game balls could cause injury.
12. Aeroball is a demanding game. Start slowly!
13. Never play under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
14. Report any maintenance issue to the operator.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
AEROBALL REQUIRES RELATIVELY LITTLE MAINTENANCE BUT INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS
WHEN REQUIRED WILL PROMOTE SAFE USE & EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE AEROBALL.
1. The following inspections are recommended:
a. Jump surface, for rips or debris – before each use;
b. Blue spring pads (placement) – before each use;
c. Housing (mesh and fabric areas) – weekly;
d. Jump surface & housing springs – monthly;
e. Frames, particularly all weld joints – every three months;
f. Frames & D-rings where springs connect – every three months;
g. Painted areas (for damage & rust) – every three months.
2. Aeroball jump surfaces are made of two-ply construction to prevent injury from a
sudden tear. Any ripped or worn jump surfaces should be replaced. They are not
designed to be reversed (flipped). It is highly recommended that spare jump surfaces be
kept on-hand.
3. Any springs which are kinked, broken, worn or stretch to the point where they are
ineffective should be immediately replaced. It is highly recommended that spare springs
be kept on-hand.
4. Aeroball housings are made of two different kinds of mesh, replacement material is
available for repairs.
5. Tears in housing seams are rare but should be fixed immediately. Aeroball can
provide repair services for you.
6. Damage to Aeroball frames is very rare. Any structural issues must be dealt with
immediately to avoid further damage or injury to users. Suspend use! Call Aeroball if in
doubt.
7. Fabric surfaces and jumps surfaces may be washed as required with water and a mild
soap.
8. Contact Aeroball for information or replacement parts.

STEPS 1 TO 4: BASE & LOWER HORIZONTAL STRUCTURE
Step 1: Connect the lower horizontal bed supports (#31 – center; #32 – sides) to all the junction
supports (#33 – center edges; #34 – corners; #35 – center (spring loops on the bottom), as
shown below:

the remaining two base legs at center as shown below:
Step 3: Insert 3 center legs (part #13) into the three holes in each of the center leg supports
(part #03). Once joined, insert everything into the sleeves in the center edges of the structure,
as shown:

Step 6: Clip the remaining springs to the structure. (There are 16 springs per side, 64 for each
trampoline mat). If the springs are too stiff to stretch by hand, use the spring tool provided
(part #99)
Step 7: Repeat steps 5 and 6 in order, for all the remaining trampoline beds. By the end of this
step, all 4 trampoline beds should be attached to the structure.
Step 8: Attach each of the 8 blue padded spring covers (part #52) to the sides of the Aeroball.
Then attach the 4 center covers (part #51) in the middle.
By the end of Step 8, all four trampoline surfaces should be fully attached and covered by the
pads.

junctions, and into a base plate (#00). Then insert the center housing support (part #15)
through the center junction and into a base plate.
Step 10: Insert both the top left vertical risers (part #22L) on top of #10 in two opposing
corners. Then insert the top right vertical risers (part #22R) into the other two corners, as
shown below:
