INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL - PLAYGROUND
Maximum user weight is defined by the size of the trampoline:
6’7’’ x 6’7’’ / 200 x 200 cm 100 kg / 220.5 lbs
• Adult supervision and instruction required at all times.
• The trampoline has to be assembled by an adult and
cautiously inspected before first use.
• Minors must be supervised by an adult person regardless
of their skills or training. Be sure to prevent access to the
trampoline without proper supervision.
• Check the trampoline before each use. Regular mainte-
nance check-ups of the trampoline and trampoline parts
are necessary to prevent injuries. Keeping the trampoline
impeccable will prolong the lifetime of your trampoline.
• Serious injury, paralysis or even death can occur if the
trampoline is not used properly.
• This trampoline is for outdoor use only.
• Not suitable for children under 36 months - small parts,
choking hazard.
• Wear clothing free of drawstrings, hooks, loops or anything
that could get caught while using the trampoline/
enclosure and result in entanglement. Do not attach
anything to the enclosure that is not a manufacturer-
approved accessory or part of the enclosure system.
• Properly secure the trampoline/enclosure when not in use.
Protect it against unauthorized use.
• Do not allow a child or other persons under the trampoline.
• Jumping on the trampoline is not recommended during
pregnancy.
• Do not use the trampoline under the influence of alcohol,
drugs or heavy medication.
• Keep all sources of heat and flames away from the product.
• The jumping mat should be kept clean and dry. Jumping
on a wet jumping mat is prohibited in order to avoid slips
and falls.
• Remove footwear before jumping on the trampoline.
• Do not eat food, sweets or chew gum when bouncing.
• Bounce in the center of the mat.
• Stop bouncing by flexing the knees as feet come in
contact with the trampoline bed. Learn this skill before
attempting other jumps.
• Do not exit by a jump – always walk on and off. It is a
dangerous practice to jump from the trampoline to the
floor or ground when dismounting, or to jump onto the
trampoline when mounting. Do not use the trampoline as
a springboard to other objects. Do not jump from other
objects, buildings, or surfaces, onto the trampoline, or into
or over the trampoline enclosure.
• Avoid bouncing too high or for too long, make regular
breaks. Stay low to control your bounce and repeat
landing in the center of the trampoline. Always control
your bounce. Control is more important than height.
• 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 bed.
• No more than one person is allowed to use the trampoline
at a time. Collision hazard: multiple jumpers increase the
chances of loss of control and this can result in serious
injury.
• Misuse or abuse of the trampoline is dangerous and can
result in serious injury.
• Glasses, jewellery and similar objects should be taken off
before entering the trampoline. Empty your pockets and
keep your hands free when jumping. Always jump on the
middle of the jumping mat.
• Do not sit on on the trampoline frame plates and do not
stand on the edge while another person is jumping.
• Keep small children away from the trampoline while
others are bouncing on it, because the edge can move in
and out vigorously.
• Trampoline should be placed on a level grass surface or
soft surface such as sand or bark. Do not use trampoline on
hard surfaces as asphalt, concrete or other similar surfaces.
Do not place trampoline around swimming pools, swings,
slides, climbing walls etc.
• Do not use the trampoline in windy weather. If you are
using a safety net, remove and store it for better weather
conditions.

Part B Rubber tiles-frame plates 4 pcs
Part C Springs 14 cm 60 pcs
Part D Jumping mat 1 pc
Part E Spring tool 1 pc
3. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Assembling the frame
Fitting the jumping mat & installing the springs
Assembling of metal frame is done
outside the ground hole. Frame is
composed of 4 equal metal plates, first
take 2 pieces and push them togehter in
prepared holes on the frame (it is click
system - they will assemble together).
Follow the same procedure with 3rd and
4th metal plate, so that you get square
metal frame. No additional screws are
needed.
Lay the jumping mat inside the frame
of the trampoline. In order to make the
installation of the jumping mat easier,
put the eight springs in the corners of
the jumping mat and attach all eight
springs on these locations first. You must
attach springs to the wire which is sewn
in jumping mat. Use spring tool to help
you attaching springs on the frame.
Continue by attaching springs from the
corners to the middle of the mat on all
four sides until all springs are attached.
As there is no extra mark of the position
of the springs on the jumping mat just
follow the linear line of springs according
to the holes on the frame. Be sure that
all 60 spring hooks are properly and well
attached.
We recommend at least two people to assemble the trampoline. Use gloves to protect your hands from
pinch points and sharp points during assembly. Do not apply excessive force during assembly that will
cause damage to the product.
Important:
Be sure all spring hooks are well attached
to the frame.

Digging the trampoline pit
Position the frame on the location you chose and mark the position on the ground. It’s
best to mark out a hole a bit wider than the diameter of your trampoline. This will make
it easier for you to put the frame in and find the right level. Dig the pit to the following
dimensions described in instructions manual.
The hole should be 75 cm / 2’6’’ deep, 200 cm / 6’7’’ wide and 200 cm / 6’7’’ long. First
dig the outer hole to create a ledge for your trampoline frame, which needs to be
40 cm / 1’4’’ deep. Continue by digging the inner hole according to the dimensions
of your trampoline, with a bowl-shaped bottom. The inner hole should be 40 cm /
1’4’’ narrower than the trampoline size. This will leave a 20 cm / 8’’ ledge all around on
which the trampoline will sit.

Dimension C
– Total depth
6’7’’ x 6’7’’ / 200 x 200 cm 160 x 160 cm / 5’3’’ x 5’3’’ 75 cm / 2’6’’
The hole should not accumulate water (in which case the drainage is necessary) and it
should be possible to clean during maintenance.
AKROBAT HINT:
It’s a relatively easy task to hand dig the hole for smaller size trampolines, but it
would be best to hire a mini digger able to excavate most of the soil and leave you
with the finishing touches.
Note: You will need to save some of the soil for later.
Place trampoline to the ground hole
You have metal frame with jumping
mat ready to put it all togehther to the
prepared hole in the ground. Level it to
the right position.
There should be no gap between ground
and your trampoline. Finally, re-lay the
saved soil around the trampoline and
compact down as much as possible.
Fix rubber tiles-frame plates on the frame
In the last phase you need to place frame/rubber tiles on the top of the metal frame. Two hooks in
cover plates should fit directly in the holes on the metal frame. Then slowly lay down the rubber
tiles to the metal frame. Part in the middle of the rubber tiles will fit directly to the prepred hole
in the metal frame. All four rubber tiles are the same, so you can start assembling randomly.
In case of maintenance (changing springs or jumping mat), just lift rubber tiles for app. 45 degree
and push it easily to yourself. Rubber tiles will »unlock« from the metal frame and you can remove
it down from metal frame and then change spare parts.

4. TRAMPOLINE MAINTENANCE
Check your trampoline before each season thoroughly – particularly the frame, springs, jumping mat
and rubber tiles. We advise regular check-ups during the season as well. In contrary, damaged parts
could be overlooked, which may result in severe accidents or injuries.
• All parts are well attached.
• All springs are well secured to the frame and the rings on the jumping mat.
• The trampoline has no damages, such as rips, holes, sharp, twisted or broken parts. If you notice any
damage, change the parts immediately.
For the best maintenance of your trampoline, also make sure no animals are allowed on the trampo-
line as they could damage both the frame pad and the jumping mat.
The trampoline should be dissambled and withdrawn from use at once in case of any damage or
missing parts until the defects are repaired or parts replaced.
Extreme weather conditions can impact the trampoline materials, therefore follow these recommen-
dations:
• Remove the jumping mat during winter season as the weight of the snow could damage the mat.
• Protect the trampoline from direct heat, fire, sparks and fireworks
• Protect your trampoline from heavy rain and snow as well.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR LATER USE.
Remember, the trampoline should only be used by one person at the time!

Cleaning the trampoline:
All Akrobat trampoline mats and frame plates are made of durable high-quality materials and should not
be cleaned with any aggressive cleaning products! Trampoline surfaces are best cleaned with mild soapy
water and thoroughly rinsed with water afterwards.
Your Akrobat trampoline is now ready to be used. Enjoy!
If this is your first trampoline, we advise you to start by learning
the basic jumps described in this manual.

5. JUMPING INSTRUCTIONS
Each jumper must start by learning slow and controlled jumps. Safe landings are the base of trampoline
jumping skills and are important to learn at the beginning. Lack of these skills may result in severe
injuries.
Both jumper and instructor should keep in mind that steady balance at each jump represents the
base of successful trampoline jumping.
The stopping technique is equally important as jumping. Correct stopping represents one of the
most important safety precautions in trampoline jumping. When losing control of the jump and/or
balance the jumper has to react quickly to prevent injuries. In order to achieve this, the jumper should
simply bend his knees before landing on the jumping mat. This is the safest way to stop the jump and
prevent accidents.
While learning and training trampoline jumps, it is advised to have a persons standing around the
trampoline in order to help the jumper if needed. Trampoline jumping is a physical strain and shouldn’t
last too long. A tired jumper can easily succumb to errors in jumping thus highly increasing risk of
injury.
High trampoline jumps are considered advanced jumps and should not be allowed to inexperienced
jumpers. It is extremely important to be sure that the height of the jump corresponds to the experience
of the jumper.
PLEASE NOTE:
Beginners should learn the basic body positions and practice the basic bounces described
in this manual.
To learn how to balance and jump, stand in the middle of the jumping area and bounce
softly up and down to control the movement. Increase the intensity gradually, returning to
the same position on the jumping mat with each bounce.
Focus on the jumping mat when jumping, failing to do so may quickly result in losing
balance and falling.
Do not perform somersaults without supervision! Somersaults should be carried out only
by experienced jumpers under supervision of an expert and using appropriate safety
measurements.

IMPORTANT! FLOOR MATERIAL IN RELATION
OF FALL HEIGHT AND FREE ZONE
For this trampoline, a critical fall height of less than 1500 mm is assumed. The free-fall space must
comply with the table below.
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION MINIMUM DEPTH MAXIMUM FREE
HEIGHT OF FALL
Turf/topsoil - - 100 cm*
Bark 20-80 mm particle size 30 cm 300 cm
Woodchip 5-30 mm particle size 30 cm 300 cm
Sand or gravel 0,25-8 mm grain size 30 cm 300 cm
Other materials As tested according to standard EN 1177
* Turf as well as having aesthetic appeal also has some useful impact attenuating properties. Experience has shown that, if well
maintained, it is normally effective for fall heights up to 1 m and can be used without the need to conduct a test. For fall heights
above 1 m, the performance of turf as an impact attenuating surfacing is dependent upon local climatic conditions. Therefore, as
there are significant regional variations in climate throughout Europe it is advised that guidelines are given at a national level.
