Assembly and Installation
Preparation
Before you begin assembling your JumpSport Elite 12ft Trampoline System, make sure your trampoline is in a proper
location.
Trampoline Placement
CAUTION: When deciding on where to place your trampoline, consider the following:
WARNING
Overhead Clearance Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum of 24 feet from ground level
is recommended. Provide clearance for wires, tree limbs, and other possible hazards.
Lateral Clearance Lateral clearance is essential. Place the trampoline and trampoline enclosure away from
walls, structures, fences, and other play areas. Maintain a clear space on all sides of the
trampoline and trampoline enclosure.
Level Surface Place the trampoline and trampoline enclosure on a level surface before use.
Lighting Use the trampoline and trampoline enclosure in a well-lighted area. Artificial
illumination may be required for indoor or shady areas.
Security Secure the trampoline and trampoline enclosure against unauthorized and
unsupervised use.
Ground Clearance Remove any obstructions from beneath the trampoline and trampoline enclosure.
Note: The trampoline enclosure is only to be used as an enclosure for a trampoline and the trampoline must be of
the appropriate size as covered by the specific enclosure.
Note: The owner and supervisors of the trampoline are responsible to make all users aware of practices specified in
the Use Instructions.
IMPORTANT: The best surface on which to place your trampoline is dirt or grass. However, if you plan to install the
trampoline on a very hard surface such as concrete or asphalt, a dense foam —similar to what can be found in
public playgrounds —should be installed under each leg. Contact JumpSport Customer Service if you have any
questions.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser to become familiar with all of the information in this booklet, to
convey the warnings to all users, and to enforce JumpSport’s rules for safe use.
This unit is not intended for commercial or public use, and such use is strictly prohibited.
The maximum user weight is up to 240 pounds.
This trampoline is not recommended for use by children under six years of age.

5
Windy Conditions
It is possible for the trampoline to be blown about by a high wind. If you anticipate high winds, the frame should be
secured to the ground with the use of a JumpSport Trampoline Anchor Kit. If you anticipate severe winds, the
trampoline should be moved to a sheltered location or completely disassembled. Our anchor kit can be found in the
Accessories section at www.jumpsport.com.
Moving the Trampoline
If you need to move your trampoline periodically, it should be moved by at least two people, and kept horizontal during
the move. Both people should stand next to each other on one of the short ends of the trampoline, and lift that end of the
trampoline. Rotate that end of the trampoline about five feet, then go to the opposite end of the trampoline, and do the
same thing. This will slowly rotate each end of the trampoline toward your desired destination, and is the easiest way to
move the trampoline due to its heavy weight. Disassemble the trampoline for any move greater than a few feet.
Care
Do not allow family pets on the trampoline, as claws may snag and pull the trampoline mat material or net material, or
damage the frame pad or pole foam.
The 12ft Elite Trampoline System is intended to be used by one person at a time, weighing less than 240 pounds. The
user should either be barefoot or wearing gymnastic slippers or non-cleated athletic shoes. The user should remove all
sharp objects from their person that may cause injury or damage to the trampoline mat. Heavy, sharp, or hard pointed
objects should not contact the mat surface.

Trampoline Placement
WARNING: Do Not use or stand near the trampoline in
windy or gusty conditions. A trampoline can become air-
borne when exposed to sustained wind or gusting wind
conditions. This can result in serious injury, paralysis, or death,
as well as property damage. To reduce these risks, disassemble
the trampoline and enclosure and store them until weather con-
ditions improve. Anchoring a trampoline frame may prevent the
trampoline from moving as a result of the wind, but even an-
chored trampolines can become airborne or damaged. Consult a
qualified contractor to determine what type of anchor works
best in your location.

Assembly and Installation Instructions
Tools Installation of the safety enclosure requires a 13mm hex wrench (included) or a deep socket with a ratchet or
cordless drill, and a 5mm Allen wrench (included). An 8 foot A-Frame ladder will be useful for some steps (use care
and follow procedures for use). Safety glasses and gloves are also recommended for safety.
Parts List (Safety Enclosure)
Your 12ft Elite Trampoline System is shipped with the parts shown below. The safety enclosure parts ship in a separate
box, which has a smaller box inside of it. If any parts are missing, immediately call JumpSport Customer Service at 408-
213-2551.
Note: Do NOT discard the foam tubing (Reference #13 and #14); it is needed to make the pole assemblies. It is not
just packing material. Not all poles will have foam around them. And do NOT remove any caps from the ends of any

Assembly
Note: We recommend at least 2 people participate in assembling the trampoline. Use page 6 to help with part
names and numbers.
Assembly and Installation Instructions
1) Lay all rail and leg pieces in a circle as shown. See page 6 for
detailed part descriptions.
2) Using 1 horizontal leg piece and 2 vertical leg pieces, build a
leg assembly as shown above.
If applicable, snap buttons on ends of horizontal leg pieces will need to
be depressed before legs will fit together. See next page for leg
positioning.
4) Stand 1 leg assembly upright and connect a rail with 2 sockets
as shown.
3) IMPORTANT: The holes through the vertical legs—located
near the center of each vertical leg and not related to the snap
buttons—will be used for connecting the enclosure poles in a
later step. On one side, the hole will be flat and flush with the
leg. On the other side, the hole will be indented into the leg. You
can see and feel a difference between each side by running your
finger along the hole.
Both vertical leg pieces must have the indented side facing the
same direction, and when you attach the leg assemblies to the
rails in the next steps, the indented side must face out and away
from the trampoline.
>> Repeat Step 2 with all remaining leg pieces. When finished,
you will have 4 complete leg assemblies. See next page for how to
properly align the leg assemblies.

Assembly and Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT: As you connect leg assemblies to rails, pay careful attention to snap buttons in horizontal legs. All snap buttons are designed to
point toward center of trampoline when properly installed. Indented holes in vertical legs need to be facing away from trampoline, and aligned with
holes in leg sockets of trampoline.
If snap buttons in horizontal legs are not pointing toward middle of trampoline, you will have to flip the whole leg assembly around
180 degrees. Then double-check to be sure vertical leg pieces still have indented side facing away from trampoline. If not, rotate each
vertical leg piece around 180 degrees too.

Assembly and Installation Instructions
5) Connect another leg assembly to same rail with 2 sockets. 6) Connect rail with no sockets, then rail with 2 sockets.
7) Connect next leg assembly to rail with 2 sockets.
>> Repeat Steps 6 and 7 all the way around until all rail pieces
and leg assemblies are connected together.
8) Completed frame.
Note: The frame may not be snug at this point. This is normal
until you start adding the mat and springs, which add tension to
the frame to help keep everything snug.

TIP: For easy spring installation, connect spring to V-ring of mat
and pull toward you, to connect to frame. Use a second spring as
a tool to hook onto the one you are installing.
IMPORTANT: If you have a PowerBounce Trampoline, open the
separate PowerBounce box and use those instructions to install
the PowerBounce springs while you install the standard springs
in the following steps.
9) Connect jumping mat to trampoline frame using 4 springs.
Connect each spring to a V-ring and spring notch, approximately
1/4 circle apart from each other. Warning labels must face up.
Note: For this step, the springs do not have to be perfectly
spaced. They are to help keep tension on the mat temporarily
while you attach the remaining springs.
10) Start at a spring that is already connected. While standing
outside the frame, count 4 V-rings and spring notches clockwise,
and connect another spring. The easiest way to connect a spring
is to hook spring onto V-ring, then pull it toward you and hook it
into spring notch on top of frame rail.
11) Continue counting 4 V-rings and notches and connecting a
spring until you have gone all the way around the trampoline.
When you get to a spring that you connected in Step 9, reposition
it if necessary, so that the springs are all spaced exactly 4 V-rings
and spring notches apart.

12) Now connect a spring to every middle V-ring and spring notch, working clockwise around the trampoline. Have someone work
across from you, also going clockwise.
Note: It is important to have someone working across from you. Otherwise the springs could over-extend and become difficult to
connect, or possibly even damaged.
13) Connect all the remaining springs to the trampoline, again working clockwise, with someone working across from you.

15) Two pad connectors are used to connect adjacent pad sections together; one pad connector connects to the bottom of each pad
section and the second pad connector connects to the top of each pad section.
14) Lay the 8 frame pad sections on the trampoline to create a full circle around the trampoline frame. Align pad sections so that the
end of each pad section lines up directly in-between each vertical leg. Bottom of pad will have button bungee t-anchors (as shown on
next page).

WARNING: Trampoline use is not recommended without the frame pad in-
stalled (see Picture on page 20). The frame pad is designed to reduce the possi-
bility of injury by protecting the user from coming into contact with the frame and
springs of the trampoline. It is very important that you properly and securely attach the
frame pad to the frame, and that it is in the correct position prior to using the trampoline.
