1. Always maintain a safe distance between the product and any dock, platform, boat or pier.
2. This water trampoline is designed for use in water only. DO NOT USE ON LAND, ON
OR AROUND HARD SURFACES, OR SWIMMING POOLS.
3. Be sure to securely anchor the water trampoline before each use (see section on anchoring).
Check your anchors regularly.
4. All users should wear a US Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) when
using this water trampoline or water bouncer.
5. Children should be under the supervision of an adult at all times.
6. The water trampoline is designed to be used in a large body of water with a MINIMUM
DEPTH OF SIX FEET. Always check that the swimming area around the trampoline is
free of obstructions including submerged logs, sandbars and rocks. Ask about local
conditions before use.
7. Never use your water trampoline after sunset, or in poor lighting.
8. Avoid use around swimmers and areas that are subject to boat traffic.
9. Do not swim or play under your water trampoline.
10. Do not dive off the water trampoline, always enter the water feet first.
11. Never use in stormy weather, or in rough water conditions. Seek shelter when lightning is
present or expected, DO NOT stay on product.
12. NEVER USE YOUR WATER TRAMPOLINE OR WATER BOUNCER WHILE
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.
13. Be in control while using your water trampoline or water bouncer. Jump or bounce in the
center of the trampoline, away from the padded frame. Do Not attempt acrobatic
maneuvers while using your trampoline or bouncer. Avoid bouncing too high.
14. Do not tow your water trampoline with riders aboard.
15. Always secure from unauthorized or unsupervised use while not using your product. It is
best to remove the trampoline from the water and deflate or remove the jump surface and
ladder to avoid unsupervised use.
16. Inspect your trampoline or bouncer and replace any worn, defective or missing parts before
each use.
17. ONLYALLOW AMAXIMUM OF 3 JUMPERS AT ONE TIME.
18. MAXIMUM JUMPING LOAD IS 300 POUNDS. CHECK AND SECURE YOUR
HARDWARE TIES WHEN JUMPING WITH MAXIMUM LOADS.

No special tools are required, everything fits together.
The following items will be in two to four boxes depending on the product:
Please allow yourself 1-3
hours to inflate and assemble
your water trampoline. You
will need the assistance of at
least two other people to
carry it to the water.

The trampoline frame, springs and jump mat require no tools to assemble
Find a flat location with plenty of room
to walk around the trampoline frame.
Lay out the pipe in a circle with the slots
pointing up. Slide the ends of the pipe
into each other.
TIP: Do not use a hammer. Kick the
frame in as you walk around it.
Next, lay the jump mat in the center of the
trampoline’s frame. Make sure the warning
label is on top. Take 4 springs and
attach one at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00.
When installing the springs the hooks should
be pointing towards the ground. Pulling the
springs will require some physical strength .
Tip: spread a supply of springs around the
outside of the frame and pull toward you.
Continue filling in the rest of the springs.
Begin at 12:00 and count in a clockwise
direction 9 notches and install a spring, count
another 9 notches and install a spring continue
around the trampoline frame until you reach
12:00. Next, count 6 notches and install a
spring, count another 6 notches and install a
spring and continue this pattern until you reach
12:00. Next install a spring in the middle of
every gap around the frame. Complete the
spring installation by filling in the rest of the
springs until all slots are filled.

Lay out the float tube on a level area that is free of sharp objects. Make sure that the
warning labels are on top. Your water trampoline has three chambers, turn the valve counter
clockwise to fully open the valve, insert the pump stem. We recommend using an electric
inflator or a shop vac.Tip: Any small plastic funnel can be fashioned to adapt the end of
your shop vacuum’s hose. If using compressed air do not exceed 2 PSI.
Quickly close the valve to prevent the air from escaping. Fill each chamber 1/2 full, then
continue filling the remaining chambers until full. The tube is full when you can make a
small depression in the tube with your palm. It is normal for the air pressure within the tube
to expand and contract depending on air and water temperatures. It may be necessary to
increase or decrease the air pressure in your product accordingly in warmer regions.
On 15’& 20’trampolines you may need three people to
complete this part. Each person will space themselves
equally around the trampoline frame. Lift the trampoline
frame and set it on top of the flotation tube. Be careful not
to slide the trampoline frame over the float tube as it could
cause a tear or rip to develop. Next position the frame on
top of the black neoprene cradle. Once the trampoline is in
position, strap the frame of the trampoline frame to the
flotation tube. Be sure the straps are securely fastened to
the hardware. Check the frame straps after each use to
assure the proper position on the tube.
The final step is to install the spring pad and the ladder. Tie
the spring pad around the trampoline frame. Use a double
knot to prevent the spring pad from coming loose.
Tip: slightly loosen frame from tube to secure tie if needed.
Finally, apply 303 protectant to clean and protect your tram-
poline tube from weathering.
DO NOT USE ARMORAL OR PRODUCTS THAT
CONTAIN SILICONE OR PETROLEUM DISTILLATES.
Now you are ready to launch, 3 people should be able to
carry it using the handles around the tube.
DO NOT DRAG your trampoline when launching.
WARNING
DO NOT OVER INFLATE!
Excessive pressure can cause the tube to rupture with
potentially damaging force to eyes, ears, skin and limbs.
Over inflation can rupture the tube beyond repair.

• When your product is not in use, store in a covered or shaded area.
• We strongly suggest you apply a UV Protectant to your product to guard it from
harmful UV rays and weathering. DO NOT USE ARMORAL OR PROUCTS
THAT CONTAIN SILICONE OR PETROLEUM DISTILLATES.
We recommend 303 Protectant which is available at your local marine retailer or
can be purchased by calling the Island Hopper service representative at
1-800-896-6977.
• Apply UV Protectant when you first set up your trampoline and every 45 days
for best results. Spray 303 on and tube let set for 5 minutes. Wipe and buff with
clean dry cloth. This should take approximately 30 minutes and will give the
float tube a great shine and protect the tube from harmful UV rays.
• Standard application is approximately: 16 ounces for a 15’Classic or 13’
Bounce-N-Splash 32 ounces for the 20’Acrobat. Re-apply UV protectant after
each cleaning or every 45 days for best results.
• Clean your product with a mild soap or a citrus based cleaner.
DO NOT use a “Pressure Washer” to clean your product as it could damage
your tube.
DO NOT use any petroleum based products or solvents to clean your product.
DO NOT LEAVE PRODUCT UP YEAR ROUND
REMOVE THE TRAMPOLINE FROM THE WATER AND
STORE DURING WINTER OR LONG PERIODS OF UN-USE
IMPORTANT NOTE

• Inspect your product before each use and replace any worn, defective or missing parts.
• Regularly inspect your product’s inflatable tube. Complete any repairs immediately.
Tip: Proper inflation of the tube will extend the life of your water trampoline and make it
jump at its maximum potential. It will also deter rodents such as muskrats from chewing on
the tube during periods of non-use.
Note: Maximum air expansion will occur in the heat of the day. Be sure to leave some room
for this expansion. If the temperature rises (over 100 degrees) you may need to release the air
pressure in each chamber throughout the day.
Seam ruptures due to over inflation are not covered under warranty!
• Inspect the tube for proper inflation before each use. Under inflation could cause excessive
rubbing where the metal frame rests on the flotation tube. Over inflation and heat expansion
can cause seam failures beyond repair. The flotation tube has three air chambers, you will
have to check the air pressure in each chamber. Check the air pressure by pressing your palm
against the flotation tube. It will feel firm and leave a slight depression (it should make a
thump sound).
• When your product comes in contact with cool air and water temperatures, your tube will
appear to have lost air (get softer). DO NOT MISTAKE THIS FORA PUNCTURE OR
DEFECT.
• Add air to your tube after one or two days of use as needed.
Note: Sand and dirt can tear the fine fibers of the jumping mat, which will shorten the life of
the mat and cause holes and tears to appear.
If your mat develops a hole, or you find that you need to replace any worn, defective or missing
parts contact us at: 1-800-893-9677.

• Anchor your trampoline using 2, 3 or 4 anchors by connecting anchor line to the D-rings
located around the outside or inside of your trampoline. We suggest you use sand bags, cinder
blocks or marine anchors weighing a minimum of 60 lbs., depending on wind, water currents
and bottom conditions.
Tip: Bundle and tie the anchor lines in the middle (under the tube) . This will keep them from
being hit by swimmers.
DO NOT SWIM OR PLAY UNDER THE TRAMPOLINE.
Tip: Tie off the trampoline to a stake or dock so to avoid a strong wind from blowing it away.
If you expect strong winds, pull the trampoline out of the water and secure or deflate on shore.
Allowing too much slack in anchor line will increase the chances of loosing your trampoline
Storing
1. Lay out a clean tarp on the ground next to the tube or deflate tube on top of the tarp.
2. Remove all the air from float tube using a vacuum. WIPE DRY to avoid mildew.
3. Wipe down with UV Tech or 303 protectant (do not use ARMORAL or any product that
contains silicone or Petroleum Distillates) before folding. Wrap folded tube inside tarp and
secure with rope. The rope around the tarp will give two or three people a hold to carry the
tube to the storage area.
4. Store product (tube, hardware and parts) in a cool, dry place (DO NOT store directly on
concrete). Place mothballs around stored inflatable to keep mice and insects away.
Note: Mice and rodents are attracted to the PVC vinyl and rubber materials and have been
known to nest and chew holes causing damage. Store in a pest free secure area You can
buy a large plastic storage container with a lid at your local hardware store that will provide
excellent storage. Some have wheels to assist with the moving process.
Due to the extreme variations of installations, anchor line and
anchor are not included with the trampolines or bouncers and must
be purchased separately. Consult with local authorities regarding
any specific anchoring restrictions in your area..

Use two part hypalon adhesives found at your local marine store.
Before you begin, make sure you are working in a well ventilated area, climate controlled to at
least 70 degrees. It is advised that you wear protective gloves when working with the
chemicals.
After you have completed the repair to the tube, it must sit undisturbed for at least 24 hours.
When making a repair, do not inflate tube to maximum capacity. It is recommended that the
tube be semi-soft for all repairs.
REPAIRING HOLES IN THE TUBE:
• Cut patch larger than the area to be repaired. Round the corners of the patch. Use the
patches enclosed with your trampoline or call the service center to receive new patch
material.
• Place patch over the area to be repaired, outline with a pen and masking tape outline.
• Buff side to be adhered with light sand paper (side to be adhered will make a dust when
buffed) Buff area within masking tape to be repaired. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GO DOWN
TO THE CLOTH FIBERS IN MATERIAL.
• With clean paper towel wipe patch with toluene. Using a clean paper towel, wipe area on
the tube to be repaired.
• Place one thin coat of glue on patch and one thin coat of glue on tube. WAIT 5 minutes.
• Repeat step 5, waiting 5 minutes.
• Remove masking tape, and place patch on area glued.
• With dull instrument, starting at the center, gently smooth the patch in place, paying atten-
tion to all corners and sides of patch.
• Clean all over glue with toluene. Allow product to sit in climate controlled area for 24 to 48
hours. DO NOT rush the drying process.
• Inflate the tube and check for leaks.
REPAIRING LEAKS IN SEAM AREAS:
If seam is leaking it is strongly suggested that you send your tube to a professional inflatable
boat repair company for repairs. You can find a repair station by looking in the yellow pages
or on the internet (yahoo yellow pages) under inflatable boats. Most dealers of AVON or
ZODIAC boats or white water rafts will have the ability to repair this tube.
TIP: If you try to repair a small break in the seam, use the instructions above, and be sure you
allow for the contour of the tube when letting the area dry. It is sometimes necessary to glue
and set a section, and after it is dry, moving on to the next section along the contour.
