ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
DO NOT OVER-INFLATE.
Do not exceed 2.5 PSI (0,17 bar) if lling with compressed air. Excessive pressure can
cause the tube to rupture with potentially damaging force to eyes, ears, skin and limbs.
Use of an air compressor over-ination can rupture the tube beyond repair, thus voiding
the warranty.
It is normal for the air pressure within the tube to uctuate depending on air and
water temperatures. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the air pressure
in your product accordingly. To avoid damage on extremely hot days it maybe
necessary to check and release the air pressure from your product throughout the
day. A fully inated product on warm land will lose some of its pressure when placed in
cold water.
ASSEMBLE THE TRAMPOLINE FRAME
Lay the trampoline frame sections in a circle with the tapered ends next to the non-
tapered ends, and the spring holes facing up.
Slip a vinyl sleeve on each section before connecting them. Slide the ends of the
sections together to form a complete circle.
Inserting from the top of the frame through to the bottom, install a bolt through each
intersection. Add washer and nut to bolt. Tighten rmly. Slide the vinyl sleeves over
each intersection to protect inatable tube from abrasion.

ATTACH THE FRAME TO THE TUBE
With another person helping, place the trampoline frame onto the inated tube.

IMPORTANT: Align the frame joints as close as possible to the junctions of the blue and
yellow panels. This placement prevents the hardware from rubbing against the tube.
At each of the frame holders on the tube, pull the strap over the frame,through both
stainless steel rings,and then back under the front ring. Do not fully tighten until all
straps are loosely in place around the frame. When all the straps are in place, and the
frame is evenly centered on the tube, tighten each securely, ensuring that the frame lies
at against the tube in all directions.

ATTACH THE ANCHOR HARNESS TO THE FRAME
Follow the instructions included with the Exuma Anchor Harness. It is critically
important that the anchor harness is connected to the proper locations on the
trampoline frame in order to ensure proper function and performance of the anchoring
system, especially in high winds.
ATTACH THE JUMPING MAT
Lay the jumping mat inside the assembled frame with the warning labels of the mat
facing up.
Attach the mat to the frame by hooking one end of the spring to the V-ring on the mat
and the other end to the hole in the frame. Make sure that the hooks on each end of the
spring point down toward the ground and are fully inserted into the frame.
11
12
To ease the process, start by attaching a spring at one point on the frame. Working in
a clockwise direction, count the appropriate number of holes and V rings until you are
one quarter around the frame. Attach a spring. Repeat until your each your starting
point. Place one spring midway between each existing spring around the entire jump.
Repeat the process until all springs are on the jump.
NOTE:
OWNER’S MANUAL

10
WARNING!
FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE SPRINGS CAN RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE EXUMA.
Each V-ring on the jumping mat must be attached to the frame by a spring.
Each spring must be attached with the hooks pointing down. Be sure the hook
on each spring is pushed securely into its hole on the frame.
ATTACH THE LADDER AND SAFETY PAD
Position the ladder left of the air valve so that the warning label on the tube is visible to
anyone climbing the ladder.
Attach the ladder to the trampoline frame by looping the quick link under then around
the frame and securing the quick link to the ladder webbing. Tighten the nut on the
quick link hand tight.
Lay the spring cover pad on the trampoline so it covers the frame and springs and the
attachment straps are face down.
Attach the pad by fastening the inside bungee loops to the triangle rings on the
trampoline mat, then securing the outside straps by looping them under the frame,
loop through buckle and fasten the Velcro.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ANCHOR THE PRODUCT
Due to extreme varieties of installations, anchor line and anchor are not included with
the Exuma and must be purchased separately.
Please consider the following when determining an adequate anchoring system and
location of your Exuma:
• Choose a location that is most protected from the wind, of sufficient
water depth 10ft (3,1m) minimum and free of obstructions a safe
distance in all directions.
• A minimum of 200-lbs. (91kg) Anchor weight is recommended for most
applications; however larger Exuma on larger bodies of water may
require more.
• Bell anchors are not typically recommended since they are easily
dragged, especially on flat, sandy bottoms. Screw-type or more
permanent toggle-type anchors maybe necessary in more
extreme conditions.
• Attaching a shock cord to the anchor line is recommended to help
absorb vertical movements of the Exuma due to waves and normal use.
An Anchor Connecting System and does include a shock cord (bungee).
• Please consult with local authorities regarding any specific anchoring
restrictions in your area.
• Set anchor in position in water and use float on the anchor line to locate.
• Move jump to the water with the aid of 2-4 people. Carefully carry the
Exuma and rest it in shallow water. CAUTION: To avoid risk of puncture
or damage to the product, DO NOT DRAG the Exuma to
the water.
• Attach anchor line (not included) securely to the swivel or ring on center
of the rope harness on the underside of the Exuma.
• Adjust length of anchor line so that it is approximately 1-2ft. longer than
the depth of the water. To help prevent flipping of your jump in high
wind conditions, do not exceed 3 ft. of slack in the anchor line.
OWNER’S MANUAL

12
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
More slack will improve anchor holding performance,but too much slack may be
sucient line to allow the Exuma to stand on edge and ip over in strong winds. For
best results, maximize your anchor holding power via more weight or a dierent type
of anchor and minimize your anchor line length.
NOTE:
BEFORE USE
Inspect the trampoline before each use and replace any worn, defective or missing
parts. The following conditions could represent potential hazards:
• Punctures or holes worn in the jumping surface
• Deterioration in the stitching of the jumping surface
• Bent or broken frame
• Stretched springs
• Missing or insecurely attached frame safety pads
• Sagging jumping surface
• Sharp protrusions on the frame or suspension system
• Unsecured against unauthorized use
• Regularly inspect the condition of the inflatable tube. Any repairs
should be done immediately
OWNER’S MANUAL

STORAGE
• When the inflatable product is not being used, store it in a covered,
shaded area. This will help protect it against ultraviolet (UV) rays and
extend the life of the product.
• Ultraviolet (UV) rays are very hard on inflatables. To maximize the life
of your Exuma, store it out of the sun whenever possible. For additional
protection, we recommend using 303 protectant, which is a one-step
product that provides UV protection.
• Product should be completely dry and remain dry while stored.
• Roll the product loosely and place in a container, preferably one that
rodents can’t chew through.
• Secure against unauthorized or unsupervised use.
• Store in a cool, dry location. Do not store product directly on concrete
surface. Place mothballs around stored inflatable to keep mice and
insects away.
Rodents, like muskrats, may be attracted to the PVC vinyl of your product.
When your product is on the water, maintaining full air pressure during
periods of non-use will discourage them from chewing the vinyl.
Another way to ease the problem of nuisance rodents is to remove the
temptation by taking the product out of the water at night. You can also
make the whole area unattractive to rodents by changing the environment,
making the area less hospitable for rodents. Removing any food source from
the shoreline can also be a good deterrent. Check with your local DNR for
additional guidance or possible restrictions.
OWNER’S MANUAL

CLEANING AND CARE
Clean the inflatable completely with a mild soap and freshwater or a
citrus based cleaner.
NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS OR SOLVENTS FOR
CLEANING.
NEVER USE A POWER WASHER SINCE THE HIGH PRESSURE WATER
JET WILL DAMAGE THE SOFT PVC COATING ON THE TUBE BEYOND
REPAIR.
REPAIRS
For large holes, tears or seam failures, contact Diversco.
For minor holes or tears:
• Inflate the product and locate the leak by spraying the tube with
mild soapy water.
• Determine the hole size and cut a patch 1-2 inches wider than
the diameter of the hole. Make sure all corners of the patch are
rounded.
• Deflate the product and clean the patch and area around the hole
with rubbing alcohol. Let dry.
• READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS ON THE GLUE
CONTAINER.
• Apply glue to the patch and the area around the hole. Let
the glue dry until it is tacky to the touch. (Approximately 1-2
minutes.)
• Lay the product on a flat, hard surface and apply the patch.
Working from the center to the outer edge, rub out any air
bubbles between the patch and the product.
• Let the patch dry for 24 hours before attempting to inflate the
product.
