External Spring Trampoline

Safety

Safe use of a trampoline requires adequate knowledge of technique, as well as actions to

avoid. • Trampolines may propel users to unaccustomed heights and into a variety of body

movements – it is the responsibility of the owner of the equipment to ensure that all users are familiar with

rules for safe use. • Misuse and abuse of trampolines can be highly dangerous and may cause serious

injuries. • The owner/user of the equipment accepts all risk that may be involved in using the equipment.

•Maximum weight capacity = 120kg. Persons at or near 120kg weight should "test" spring action by

jumping lightly on the mat. If spring action is low, the person will not be propelled – stop use immediately.

Remove and inspect the springs. If the springs are stretched, the trampoline should not be used until the

springs have been replaced. Check the mat for stretching or tears and replace as necessary.

•This product is for domestic use only. Commercial or public use will void any warranty.

•Do NOT attempt to use the equipment until it has been fully assembled according to instructions. Failure

to fully and properly assemble the equipment may render its use dangerous and will void any warranty.

•Do NOT attempt or allow somersaults or other manoeuvres that may cause users to not land on their

feet. Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury, paralysis or death.

•Do NOT allow more than one person to use the trampoline at the same time. Use by more than one

person may result in serious injury.

•Not suitable for children under 6 years of age.

•Children should always be under responsible adult supervision when using the equipment.

•When the equipment is not in use, remove the ladder to help prevent unsupervised use.

•When positioning the equipment, observe the following:

−Overhead clearance – A minimum of 8m from ground level is recommended. Provide clearance for

electrical wires, tree branches, gutters and other possible hazards.

−Avoid walls, structures, fences etc. Maintain clearance on all sides of the equipment.

−Install on a flat and level surface before use.

−Where possible, secure the equipment against unauthorised and unsupervised use.

−Remove any obstructions from beneath the equipment.

−The recommended surface is grass. If installing the equipment on hard surfaces such as concrete, a

high-density foam (similar to that used in public playgrounds) should be installed under each leg.

−It is recommended to securely anchor the equipment to prevent movement during use or from winds.

•Inspect the equipment before each use. Ensure the safety net and padding is correctly and securely

positioned. Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.

•Do not jump on or off the equipment when mounting/dismounting. Do not use the equipment as a

springboard to other objects.

•Learn fundamental bounce control and body positions thoroughly before attempting more advanced

skills, higher bouncing etc.

•Do not use the equipment in wet conditions, gusty or strong winds.

•Always jump in the centre of the mat. Do NOT jump against the safety net or on the safety padding. The

safety net and safety padding are designed to reduce the severity of falls only, and are NOT intended as

play features.

•Do not use equipment when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

•This equipment is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.

•If the equipment is to be moved after assembly, fully lift it off the ground and carry it to the new location.

Assembly

Do NOT attempt to use the equipment until it has been fully assembled according to

instructions. Failure to fully and properly assemble the equipment may render its use

dangerous and will void any warranty. • Secure the trampoline to a flat solid surface with pegs or

sandbags. During assembly, consider the position of the basketball hoop and the entry way. • Some tools

(not supplied) may be required for assembly, such as suitable screwdrivers and spanners.

Assembling the Frame and Mat

1. Start by laying out the circular frame segments in position (leg attachment tubes facing the ground).

2. Join the circular frame segments by pushing each tube into the next and securing using Phillips head

screws (1 screw at each joint). The last connection is made easier if you push both pieces towards the

centre of the circle while joining the segments.

3. Assemble the legs to the leg extension tubes

using Phillips head screws (1 screw at each

joint). Do not tighten the screws at this stage.

4. Lift the assembled frame and insert the leg

assemblies to the leg attachment tubes of the

frame. Do not insert any screws at this stage.

5. Hook all springs to the frame spring holes. The U

shaped end goes into the frame. The "curly" end

(shown on the spring image right-hand side)

hooks to the trampoline mat.

6. Spread the mat out to full size centrally under the assembled frame.

7. Remove one spring from the frame, then lift the edge of

the mat and hook the "curly" end of the spring to a mat

spring loop.

8. Use the hook end of the spring tool to pull the free end of

the spring toward the frame and to hook it into the frame

spring hole.

9. Continue hooking the mat to springs and frame in the

following order (use the spring tool as pictured).

−First 2 springs at 12 and 6 o’clock positions. Be sure to count the frame spring holes and mat spring

loops accurately so the correct mat spring loop connects to the correct frame spring hole.

−Next 2 springs at 3 and 9 o’clock positions.

−Then, continue with all remaining springs in any order.

Assembling and Installing the Safety Net Poles

10. Join each pair of safety net poles together. Press in the spring-loaded pin at the top of the lower pole

(the lower pole features the "S" shape, and has a flattened section with two mounting holes at the

bottom), then slide the upper pole on to the lower pole. Ensure that the spring-loaded alignment pin

"pops" into the hole in the upper pole. Then, slide the safety padding over each pole (if required – some

models may come with the poles and padding pre-assembled).

11. Slide the safety net support pole protective sheaths over each pole assembly.

12. Attach the safety net poles to the trampoline frame and legs – bring each pole up to the frame so that the

curve of the pole faces outwards, and attach it at each leg using 2 coach screws, nuts, curved washers

and tube spacers. Pass each screw (A) through the safety net support pole (B), then the tube spacer

(C), then frame/leg (D), followed by the curved washer (E) and nut (F). Securely tighten all nuts, then

place a rubber screw cap (G) over the exposed threads. For models that feature a basketball hoop, it is

recommended to position the safety net pole with the "fork" for the basketball hoop attachment opposite

the safety net entry way.

13. Tighten the leg to leg extension tube screws installed in step 3.

14. Insert a plastic T-shaped tip into the top of each safety

net pole and push it in firmly. For models that feature a

basketball hoop, insert the tip into the more vertical

tube as the other tube is used for attaching the

basketball hoop.

Fitting the Spring Padding and Safety Net

15. Unroll the spring padding and place it over the springs.

16. Loosely tie the elastic straps under the spring padding to the springs, then fold the outer flap of the

spring padding over the frame tubes. If the elastic is tied too tightly, it will get caught in the spring and

likely be damaged or cut when the trampoline is in use.

17. Unfold the safety net, then insert a safety net rod through the looped section at the top of the netting.

18. Insert the ends of the safety net rod into the end of the T-shaped tip on the top of two adjacent safety net

posts so that the net is supported. Repeat for all safety net rods and support poles.

19. Thread the straps at the bottom of the safety net through

the nearest mat-to-spring hoop and attach the clips at the

end of the straps to the adjacent mat-to-spring hoops.

Repeat for all safety net straps.

The bottom of the safety net attaches to the edge of

the trampoline mat. This means that when installed

correctly, the spring padding is on the outside of the safety

net as shown in the adjacent image.

20. Attach the shoe holder netting (some models only) near

the safety net entry way. Use the shoe holder straps to

tie it to the trampoline frame and legs.

21. Attach the ladder to the frame in front of the safety

net entry way. Ensure that ladder is securely

assembled, then hook it over the frame tube

To help reduce trampoline movement during use or due to winds etc, it is strongly

recommended to fix the legs to the ground using suitable anchorsor pegs from a hardware

supplier. If the trampoline is set up on a hard surface, sandbags over the legs may suffice.

External Spring Trampoline

Fitting the Basketball Hoop

If applicable, assemble the basketball hoop according to its instructions.

Press in the spring-loaded pin in the basketball hoop tube, then slide the tube

into the safety net pole with the basketball hoop attachment tube. Ensure that

the spring-loaded alignment pin "pops" into the hole in the safety net pole. To

remove the basketball hoop assembly, push the spring-loaded pin in, then

pull the assembly up and out of the safety net support pole tube. Note that

the inflation needle for the ball may be stored in the pump handle.

Using the Basketball Hoop

The basketball hoop should NOT be pulled down or 'slam-dunked'. Pulling down on the hoop will place

additional stress on the net support post. This can result in the post snapping and/or serious injury.

Anchoring the Trampoline

Using anchors may not fully secure the trampoline during use or in strong winds, but may

reduce the possibility of movement. • Before installing anchor stakes, be sure that there are

no underground utilities such as electrical, gas, water etc where the stakes are to be installed. • Anchors may

vary in appearance from those shown in this manual. • If the equipment is to be moved after assembly, it

must be lifted fully off the ground and carried to the new location. Do NOT drag the equipment as this

may weaken or damage the frame and will void any warranty.

Your trampoline may be supplied with anchors. This is to help prevent movement of the trampoline when in

use or by wind etc.

Installation

Install an anchor to each trampoline leg, wherever possible. If

there are not enough anchors for all legs, ensure that each

pair of anchors are installed on opposite sides of the

trampoline (for example, red or green in the adjacent image).

If the trampoline has 6 legs, install an anchor to 2 adjacent

legs, skip a leg, then anchor the next 2 adjacent legs. Anchor

stakes should be installed under the trampoline so they are

not a trip hazard.

1. Wrap a section of each anchor

strap around the trampoline

frame and the centre of the leg.

Feed the end of the strap into

the buckle so it wraps around

the buckle pin then under the

buckle teeth. Pull the end of the

strap so the strap is taught.

2. Insert each anchor stake as

close to the inside of the

trampoline leg as possible.

Insert a screwdriver or suitable

tool into the eye of the stake

and rotate it right to "screw" it

into the earth until there is roughly 50mm (2") from the ground to the top of the stake. Ensure that the

opening in the eye of the stake is facing toward the centre of the trampoline.

3. Feed the end of the remaining section of each anchor strap through the eye of the anchor stake and into

the buckle so it wraps around the buckle pin then under the buckle teeth. Pull the end of the strap so the

strap is taught.

4. Repeat the above procedure for each anchor.
