Care & Maintenance
Regular care and maintenance of your trampoline is required, and you should check your trampoline once
a month. This will help prolong the life of the product and reduce the possibility of injury. Neglecting this can
lead to a risk for users.
Safety Tips
At Oz Trampolines, we are passionate about your family’s safety when using our
trampolines and accessories. We have put together a list of safety tips and advice
which will help ensure your Oz Trampolines experience is safe, secure and fun.
1. Keep the area around your trampoline (2m radius) clear from any foreign objects.
2. Inspect the trampoline before each use and replace any worn or missing parts. Also ensure
parts are safe and securely attached.
3. Supervise children and inexperienced jumpers at all times, taking extra care with
younger children.
4. Bare feet are the best and safest way to jump on a trampoline mat, as they provide grip
and avoid slipping.
5. Jumping in the middle of the trampoline is the best and safest place to bounce.
6. Always use safety padding on the frame to avoid injury.
7. If a safety net is not tted, do not use within a a radius of hard surfaces such as walls.
8. Do not position the trampoline near obstacles such as fences, trees, balconies, washing lines
or obstacles located over the trampoline.
9. Ensure there is sufcient head space above the trampoline and check that there are no
overhanging objects in the area above the trampoline.
10. Keep all sources of heat and ames away from the product as it will burn.
11. Do not use the mat when it’s wet.
12. Empty your pockets before using the trampoline.
13. Do not eat food, sweets or chew gum when bouncing.
14. How to stop bouncing safely. You stop by bending your knees as you touch down on the trampoline.
15. Do not jump off the mat - always walk on and off. Do not jump from other items onto the trampoline.
16. Misuse and abuse of the trampoline is dangerous and can result in serious injury.
17. Do not use the trampoline if under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
18. If you have an enclosure, always ensure users full close the zip entrance.
19. Recommended age: 6+ years
*Please note the owner/supervisor of the trampoline is responsible to make sure all users are aware
of the practices listed in the safety tips.

Digging the Hole
Installation Time
This will vary depending on trampoline size, equipment used and soil conditions. The Oz Trampolines
In-ground Trampolines have been designed to minimise the need to excavate too much soil.
If you have a mini-digger, then the hole excavation will only take a couple of hours. If you’re hand digging,
then allow a full day for 2-4 people to dig the hole, assemble the trampoline and do the nishing landscaping.
Every hole construction will vary in respect of size of trampoline, soil conditions and drainage requirements.
Equipment needed
For the smaller 11ft x 8ft size trampoline, it’s a relatively easy task to hand dig the hole. For the larger 14ft x10ft
size, it’s quicker and easier to hire a mini digger (and operator). The mechanical digger should be able to
excavate most of the soil to leave you with the hand nishing. You will also need a cross-head screwdriver and
protective gloves & googles.

Digging the Hole
Step 1
To begin, mark out your required hole. It’s best to mark out a rectangle around 10cm wider than the measurements
of your trampoline. This will make it easier for you to put the frame in and nd the right level. It’s very difcult to
dig an exact hole and this gives you some tolerance. At the end of the install you back-ll around the outside of
the hole with soil you have saved and re-turf.
Step 2
The next step is to start digging the main hole for your trampoline frame and retaining wall.This needs to be
25cm deep, which is the right frame height. The vented pads sit on top of the frame so they will be just above
the grass level.
Step 3
The next stage is to dig the inner hole so that the trampoline will be safe for jumping. Dig this out in a bowl shape
to a depth of 75cm (11ft x 8ft trampoline), or 90cm (14ft x 10ft trampoline). The inner hole is 50cm narrower in
diameter than the trampoline size. This will leave a 25cm ledge all around on which the trampoline sits.
Step 4
If you have well-drained or sandy soil, then you will not need to consider any further drainage. For less porous
soil or clay, we suggest you put in a soak-away at the bottom of the inner hole, or connect it to your storm
water pipe where possible.
Step 5
We suggest you line the hole with a weed matting to prevent weeds growing. The weed matting needs to be
permeable to allow water to soak through. The matting can be anchored on the ledge under the bottom frame.
Step 6
The best and cheapest option is to try and lose the soil or create a feature in your garden. If you want to get
rid of the soil off-site, then a skip is a good solution, but you will need a large skip as soil expands when you
dig it out.
The In-ground Trampoline Kit has been designed for ease of installl with DIY in mind. If however you have
any doubts, then please contact us or one of our recommended garden landscaper/contractors to assist
and advise you. See www.oztrampolines.com.au for further information.

Building the Trampoline & Retaining Wall
Installation Time
You will need two people to assemble the trampoline and wall. The time needed is about half an hr.
You will need:
• Cross-head screwdriver or electric drill (for attaching the retaining wall panels).
• Safety goggles and gloves (for attaching the springs).
Frame Assembly - 14ft x 10ft
Lay out the frame as pictured below (11ft x 8ft on next page) with the spring holes facing upwards. Push all
sections together ensuring they’re all fully connected. Note that the long sides of the frame will appear to bow
outwards (this is the design). When the springs are attached, the frame will pull inwards but the frame will
always have a slight outwards bow.

Step 2
Go round the entire frame attaching the remaining panels in the same way until your retaining wall is complete.
Placing the Trampoline into the Hole
Installation Time
With two people you should allow approximately one hour for this stage.
When your hole is nished, lift the frame (complete with wall, mat and springs) into the hole and onto the ledge
you’ve created. Check the levels are correct - you may want to remove the whole trampoline to make any
adjustments to the height that the frame is sitting.
Filling In: Fill-in on the outside of the trampoline with the topsoil you’ve saved from your hole dig, and compact
the soil. Then re-lay the turf around the perimeter.
Handy Hint
Attach the more tightly curled end of the springs
to the D-rings on the jump mat.
Handy Hint
You will need to use the Spring Tool to attach the
springs to the frame. Hook the spring tool onto the
end of a spring, and pull until the spring can be
slotted into the correct slot in the frame.
Mat Assembly
Step 1
Lay the Jump Mat inside the frame of the trampoline with the centre logo facing upwards.
Step 2
Next attach the four corner springs. Then attach springs in the 12, 6, 3 and 9 o’clock positions directly opposite
each other.
Step 3
Finish by attaching the remainder of the springs. Do this by attaching a few springs on one side, then going to
the other side of the trampoline to attach a few more. This evens out the tension on the mat and springs.
Important
During assembly it may look like the mat won’t t, it will however stretch to the correct size when attaching
the springs. This may take a little force. The frame itself may get pulled inwards and this is normal. The corner
springs in particular may look & remain stretched. Don’t worry as these are high quality springs & you cannot
overstretch a spring.

Fitting the Retaining Wall
It is now time to t the retaining wall to the frame. There are eight Wall Panels with four of them having hole
cut-outs only in the corners (these are for the straight sides). Four panels have cut-outs in the corners and four
cut-outs in the middle of the wall panel (these are for the corners).
Step 1
Take one wall panel and lay it against the frame between the upright sections. Insert a Self-tapping Screw with
either a hand-held cross-head screwdriver or electric screwdriver, and tighten.
Ensure the wall is as ush to the frame as possible.
Wall Panels with 4 corner cut outs - Straight edges
Wall Panels with 4 corner and 4 inner cut outs - Corners

Safety Pads Assembly
Installation Time
You should allow approximately 20 minutes for this stage.
Step 1
Lay the Safety Pads on top of the trampoline,
aligning the pad section joins with the joins in
the frame.
Kneeling on the inside of the trampoline, feed the
Elastic Toggles through the two eyelets so the
loop end of the tie faces outwards and the toggle
end is on the inside.
Step 2
Using a at-head screwdriver (or similar), push
the loop end between the wall panel and frame.
From underneath, insert the toggle into the
loop and rotate to secure. Repeat for all ties.
Handy Hint
To create a gap between the wall and frame, you
may need to insert your at-head screwdriver and
rotate to create a gap.
Step 3
To nish installing your pads, remove a single
spring underneath where each pad section joins
the next one. Then insert the spring through the
loop on the underside of the pad and re-attach
the spring. This will stop the front of the pads
lifting up.
