PREPARING TO SET-UP YOUR MAT
STEP 1: Unroll SECTION #1 (L1) and SECTION #2 (L2)
working from LEFT to RIGHT
Immeditately after receiving your mat,
check for these conditions:
TEMPERATURE
BEFORE UNROLLING:
If you receive your mat in cold weather,
DO NOT unroll the mat until it has been kept at room
temperature of 60° F or higher for a period of noless
than 12 hours. Forcing a mat to unroll while it is cold
may permanently damage the foam and vinyl coating.
INSPECT THE MAT FOR DAMAGE
At the time of delivery, carefully inspect your mat for
any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
Depending upon the temperature, it is important to
inspect the mat within 24 hours of receipt. If the mat is not
damaged, sign the Bill of Lading. If damage is evident
when you take possession, the Bill of Lading MUST be
marked “DAMAGED - Subject to Inspection.” Within 24
hours of receipt, report in writing to Resilite or to the freight
company that delivered the mat if any damage is found.
MAT STRAPS AND SHIPPING BAGS
The supplies that were delivered with your mat (mat
straps and shipping bags) should NOT be thrown away.
The mat straps should always be used when rolling and
storing the mat sections. The shipping bags can be used
to help keep your mat clean and minimize vandalism. The
bags are designed with vent holes to allow mat sections to
“breath” during storage.

PERSON. NEVER CRAWL INSIDE A STORAGE BAG.
SERIOUS INJURY, SUFFOCATION, OR DEATH MAY OCCUR.
ABOUT YOUR NEW RESILITE
LITEWEIGHT MAT
Your Resilite LiteWeight Mat Surface:
Each Resilite LiteWeight Mat is custom manufactured
with a vinyl-coated top surface. This surface is the same,
durable vinyl-coating surface that we have used on our
Classic Resilite mats for over 60 years.
ROLLING YOUR MATS
NOTE: Always roll and unroll
the mats with the vinyl surface
inward. Resilite LiteWeight
Mats are coated on one side
(the wrestling surface side) and
have closed cell foam on the
sides and bottom of the mat.
Take notice to how the mat has
been rolled and shipped, with
the vinyl surface inward. Forcing the mat to roll in the opposite
direction, foam inward, will damage the foam and vinyl surface.
MAT SIZE:
All foam mats are subject to expansion
and contraction due to environmental
and physical conditions.
Because of the physical properties of the foam used,
LiteWeight Mats will not shrink, however, they are
subject to minimal size variances of less than 1%.
Resilite guarantees that our LiteWeight Mats will be
manufactured within a +/-1% tolerance of the overall mat
size ordered.
Wrestling referee and
starting lines:
Referee/starting lines are positioned
with one line aligned along the center
of the mat and the other line extending
(dropping) 10” away in the direction of
the scoring table (see diagram). Resilite
places the red marking on the right and
the green marking on the left, as if you are standing with
your back to the scoring table and it is positioned at the
bottom (south end) of the mat.
WARNING
THIS MAT SHOULD ONLY BE USED
UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF TRAINED AND QUALIFIED
INSTRUCTORS/COACHES.
Important:
It is important that the instructor/coach warn the athlete of
the dangers associated with each physical activity being
performed while using the mat. Wrestling coaches and
instructors should visit the National Wrestling Coaches
Association (NWCA) Coaching Development web page at
www.nwcaonline.com.
ALL USERS SHOULD READ AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE AND THE WARNINGS
IN THIS DOCUMENT AND ON THE MAT.
SAMPLE WARNING LABEL LOCATED ON MAT
Refer to back cover for warning label information.
PREPARING YOUR MAT FOR FIRST USE

MAT SET UP
Each Resilite mat is custom manufactured.
Resilite LiteWeight Mats are manufactured in
multiple sections that require the sections
to be properly taped together prior to use.
STEP 1: Begin by placing each mat section into position on
the oor. Unroll Section #1 (L1), L2 and so forth, until all mat
sections have been unrolled.
NOTE: Once each mat section
has been placed on its side,
remove strap(s) from around
the mat.
STEP 2: Once the mat
sections have been
unrolled, you can begin
to align each section by
sliding them into place.
This works best when
one person is positioned
at each end of the mat
section. Each section
must be lined up together so that the markings and lines
properly align.

TEMPERATURE
NOTE: Please see page two (2) for an important
safety warning regarding temperature before beginning to unroll
your mat.
ALIGNING YOUR MAT
In order to align and match-up the lines of your mat,
start by straightening each mat section. Make sure each
section is pushed close or “butted” up to the section next
to it so there is no gap between sections.
Align the mat so that the bottom
of the large circle lines match.
It may be necessary to shift
the far end of the mat either
to the right or to the left.
Then push or pull section(s) until
the circle lines match.
NOTE: Once you have the mat sections aligned, use mat tape to
securely fasten each section together.
MAT ALIGNMENT:
It may be necessary to shift each mat section
to properly align the mat.
WARNING
MAT PROTECTION MAY VARY ACCORDING TO
ROOM TEMPERATURE.
IMPORTANT: Mat shock-absorbency performs best when room
temperature is between 68° F and 72° F. If the room temperature
exceeds 78° F, additional padding may be necessary to meet the
minimum shock-absorbency standards of ASTM F355. For more
information on ASTM Standards, please visit www.astm.org.
MAT SIZE:
All foam mats are subject to expansion
and contraction due to environmental
and physical conditions.
Because of the physical properties of the foam used,
LiteWeight Mats will not shrink, however, they are
subject to minimal size variances of less than 1%.

MAT SECTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS
BE PROPERLY TAPED TOGETHER
PRIOR TO USE.

WARNING
SERIOUS INJURY, OR IN SOME INSTANCES,
DEATH, MAY OCCUR IF MAT IS NOT PROPERLY TAPED.
TAPING MAT SECTIONS TOGETHER
Your mat was manufactured in sections. It is important
that you always use mat tape to fasten the sections
together tightly. Never use a mat with sections not
properly taped together.
Note: Mat tape
should always
run along the
full length of
the mat section
to secrurely and
properly fasten
the two sections
together.
Mat sections may move during use.
Check the mat periodically during use
to ensure that it remains properly and
securely taped together.
It is important to remove and replace mat tape at
least once a month to prevent the tape from bonding
permanently to the mat surface. Tape adhesive can be
removed with Goo Gone®, Simple Green® cleaner, or Mat
Tape Repair.
Note: Tape should always be
applied so that it fully secures
each mat section for the entire
length of the mat. Never tape
only part of the mat. Do not
use tape at a 90° angle across
the mat seam.
Never apply tape to the bottom of the mat or to the
raw foam. The tape will damage the foam when
removed.
PRIOR TO USE
The mat should be inspected before and
after each use. By properly maintaining
your mat, you can help avoid injuries, more
expensive repairs, or permanent damage to the mat. It is
also important to inspect the mat foam for damage that
would compromise the safety of those who use the mat.
WARNING
ALL USERS SHOULD READ AND FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE AND THE WARNINGS
IN THIS DOCUMENT AND ON THE MAT BEFORE USE.
Note: The risk of serious injuries to users and/or athletes
that is inherent in activity involving motion, height, or physical
contact cannot be eliminated but may be reduced by heeding
these warnings and instructions. The likelihood of damage to
your Resilite mat increases if the care and handling portions of
these instuctions are not carefully followed. Several important
procedures explained in these instructions must be completed
prior to utilizing your Resilite mat. Failure to comply with the
care, handling and safe use instructions can cause injury and
will void your warranty.
INSPECTING THE MAT
It is important that you use mat tape to fasten the mat
sections together tightly. Serious injury or death may
occur if using a mat this is not properly taped together.
Never use a mat that has not been inspected for
proper tape placement and attachment.
Inspect the foam for compression qualities and deep
impressions, which would decrease the shock absorption
properties of the mat. LiteWeight Mats must measure at
least 1 ½” in thickness. If the mat measures less than
1½” in thickness, the mat should not be used.
Prior to each use, check for any tears, missing material,
damaged foam, or missing vinyl paint on the mat surface.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND DAMAGES
If you should nd damage during the inspection process,
it is important that the damaged areas be repaired
immediately. Delaying repairs may cause further damage
to the mat and may lessen the protective qualities of the
mat. A Mat Repair Kit can be ordered online at
www.resilite.com or by calling 1-800-THE-MATS.

TAPING AND INSPECTING YOUR MAT
PRIOR TO FIRST USE

CLEANING YOUR MAT
KEEPING YOUR MAT CLEAN
To help reduce the risk of athletes getting and spreading
infections, prior to each use, it is recommended that the
mat be properly disinfected with KenClean Plus or similar
disinfectant.
HELPFUL HINTS
1: Clean and disinfect mats before each use.
2: Clean and disinfect all hard, non-porous gear,
and surfaces such as wall mats and oor surfaces.
3: Read and follow the instructions on your disinfectant.
4: Your disinfectant should kill MRSA, trichophyton
mentogrophites (causative agent of ringworm), staph,
strep, herpes simplex, hepatitis B & C, and the Aids virus.
These germs must be listed on the label, or the product
may not kill them.
5: Be aware that products claiming to provide 24/7
protection from microbes may just provide protection from
mold, mildew, odor, and stain-causing organisms, not
those that cause disease.
STAINS & MILDEW
Materials such as grease, tar, gum, or tape adhesive
can be removed with Goo Gone®, or Simple Green®,
available at most hardware stores. Tar can be removed,
but it will leave a permanent stain on the mat. When
removing stains or items from the mat surface, scrubbing
can be done using a soft cloth.
Mildew can be removed with a mildew stain remover
that can be purchased at most local building supply or
hardware centers. Allow the mat to fully dry after cleaning.
This helps decrease the formation of mildew.
ATHLETES & OTHER USES OF THE MAT
In addition to keeping mats clean, all users should be encouraged to:
Shower after each workout.
Wash workout clothes after each use.
Dry skin adequately.
Avoid wearing street shoes on mats or wrestling
shoes off the mats.
Wipe headgear down with alcohol pads or
disinfectant after each use.
Conduct daily total body skin inspections.
CLEANING YOUR MAT FOR THE FIRST TIME
STEP 1: Use a Swiffer® or dry mop to gently remove as
much loose dirt as possible.
STEP 2: Clean the mat with a mild soap detergent. Once
any loose dirt has been removed, you may use a mop or
soft cloth to wet the mat surface with a mixture of warm
water and a mild soap detergent. For most detergents,
use a ratio of 1 oz. (2 tbsp.) of detergent to one (1) gallon
of water. Do not allow water to seep underneath the mat
or puddle on the mat. Puddles of water laying on the
mat can discolor the vinyl coating.
STEP 3: Use a clean mop or soft cloths to remove excess
cleaning solution from the mat surface.
STEP 4: After removing all the cleaning solution from the
mat surface, use clean water and a clean mop, sponge,
or soft cloth to remove any leftover residue from the mat
surface. It is important to change the water often.
DISINFECTING YOUR MAT BEFORE FIRST USE
STEP 5: After cleaning your mat, the next step is to use a
clean, laundered mop with the proper ratio of disinfectant
product to water. Resilite recommends KenClean Plus
(available from Resilite). Most disinfectants require that
a surface remain wet with the solution for 10 minutes in
order to give the disinfectant time to kill effectively.
NOTE: Always read the label of
your disinfectant and follow the
manufacturers’ directions. Use of
too little disinfectant will not disinfect
the mat properly. Use of too much
disinfectant is wasteful, and your
mats may become slippery and
actually retain more dirt.
STEP 6: Use a clean, dry mop or soft cloths to remove
excess cleaning solution from the mat surface.
STEP 7: Allow the mat to fully dry. Use of a fan will
decrease the drying time. Allowing the mat to fully dry
helps minimize formation of mildew. Puddles of water
lying on the mat can discolor the vinyl coating.
NOTE:
Never roll-up the mat when it is still wet or damp.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Athletes/users with open wounds, broken skin, or diseases of the skin should be discouraged from participating in mat workouts until the skin is healed or the athlete has been
cleared to participate by a licensed physician. If allowed to participate, the athlete/user should have the affected skin covered to prevent cross-contamination.

HANDLING AND TRANSPORTING MATS
Resilite LiteWeight Mats weigh approximately 120 lbs per
6’ x 42’ roll. When lifting or carrying a rolled mat section to
place onto a mat cart, always use two (2) or more people.
Resilite sells a variety of mat transporters and carts to assist
when moving a rolled mat section. You may also nd it
helpful to use a standard hand truck to move a mat section.
Using a Hand Truck Using a Resi-Wheeler
NOTE: Resilite
Resi-Wheeler
is available with
standard 16” tires or
a low-prole design
with 10” tires.
WARNING
REMOVE THE MAT FROM THE
TRANSPORTER BEFORE STORING. NEVER STORE MATS
ON MAT TRANSPORTERS OR CARTS. PERMANENT
DAMAGE TO THE MAT WILL OCCUR.
STORING YOUR MAT
The best way to extend the life
of a mat is to store the mat
in a warm, dry area with the
rolls strapped and standing
on end. Never store a mat on a
mat mover, cart, or transporter.
If storing a mat on the oor,
the oor should be clean and
dry. If moisture is a concern,
place a barrier of smooth plastic
underneath the mat to prevent
water or moisture from contacting
the mat and/or foam.
WARNING
IMPROPER STORAGE WILL CAUSE
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO MATS.
NOTE: Compressed foam or deep impressions in the foam
render a mat surface unsafe and it cannot be repaired if you
do not follow the storage instructions; and the warranty on your
mat will be void.
Never store mats on mat movers or on mat transporters.
Never store mats against, on top of, or beneath other
objects because impressions or sharp objects can
damage the foam.
Do not use tape, chains, ropes, wires, or ratchet
straps to secure the mat; as it may damage the
exposed foam.
DESIGNATE A STORAGE AREA
It is important that the mat be stored on a smooth surface,
free of objects or obstructions. Rolling a mat with an
object on the mat surface can put an impression into the
surface of the mat. No objects should be stored on top
of or beneath the mat. Also, do not push the mat tight
against other objects or obstructions that can cause
impressions or punctures in the foam.
TEMPERATURE
NOTE: Extremely cold temperatures will cause the
foam to increase in density. This increase in density will change
the characteristics of the mat. When tting the mat into a custom
area, it is recommended that the mat be kept at room temperature
(60° or higher) for a period of 12 hours. The mats then can be
rolled out. Never expose a mat to temperatures above 140° F.

STORING YOUR MAT

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR CARING FOR
MAINTAINING THE CONDITION OF YOUR MAT
SIMPLE TIPS FOR MAINTAINING YOUR MATS
Use only under supervision of trained and qualied instructors
It is important that the instructor/coach warn the athlete of the dangers associated with each physical activity being
performed while using this mat. Wrestling coaches and instructors should visit the National Wrestling Coaches
Association (NWCA) Coaching Development web page at www.nwcaonline.com.
Never use a mat that is not properly taped together
Securely tape the mat sections together. Mat tape should be applied to the mat surface. Do not apply tape to the
exposed foam or to the bottom of the mat.
All users, coaches and instructors should read and follow the Warning Label
The mat Warning Label is located on each end of the mat. It is important to read and follow the instructions and
warnings on the mat and those located in this care, handling and safe use booklet.
Inspect the mat BEFORE and AFTER each use
Prior to each use, use a clean, freshly laundered mop with the proper ratio of mat disinfectant and water. Resilite
recommends KenClean Plus. Always read the label of your disinfectant and follow the manufacturers’ directions.
Do not allow water to sit and puddle on the mat surface
Puddles of water laying on the mat surface for a period of time can cause the vinyl mat surface to become
discolored. Never roll up a mat that is not fully dry.
Use tape sold or supplied by the mat manufacturer
Use mat tape recommended by Resilite. Other tapes may have more aggressive adhesive which could cause the
mat edges to deteriorate more rapidly.
Always roll the mat with the vinyl surface inward
The mats have been rolled and shipped with the vinyl surface inward. Forcing the mat to roll in the opposite
direction, foam inward, will damage the mat foam and vinyl surface.
Only use the supplied mat straps when storing your mat
Do not use chains, ropes, wires, tape, or ratchet straps to secure the mat sections when rolled. Other fasteners can
and will leave impressions and/or cuts in the mat surface or foam.
Store rolled mat sections upright, standing on end
The mat sections should be stored away from areas that could puncture or damage the exposed foam. Never store
the mat against, on top of, or beneath other objects.
Mat protection may vary according to temperature
Mat shock-absorbency performs best when the mat and the room temperature is kept between 68° F and 72° F.
