PREPARING TO SET-UP YOUR MAT
STEP 1: Unroll SECTION #1 (L1) and SECTION #2 (L2)
working from LEFT to RIGHT
NOTE: When setting up a Zip Mat, it is easier to connect two (2) mat
sections BEFORE unrolling the other sections. This allows working
space as you continue to connect the remaining mat sections together.
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
no less 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.

MAT SHIPPING/STORAGE BAGS
MAT SHIPPING/STORAGE BAGS SHOULD BE
KEPT AWAY FROM CHILDREN. NEVER PLACE A SHIPPING/
STORAGE BAG ON, OVER, OR AROUND ANOTHER
PERSON. NEVER CRAWL INSIDE A STORAGE BAG.
SERIOUS INJURY, SUFFOCATION, OR DEATH MAY OCCUR.
ABOUT YOUR NEW
RESILITE ZIP MAT
Your Resilite Zip Mat Surface:
Each Resilite Zip 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 Zip 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,
Zip Mats will not shrink, however, they are subject
to minimal size variances of less than 1%. Resilite
guarantees that our Zip Mats will be manufactured within
a +/-1% tolerance of the overall mat size ordered.
PREPARING YOUR MAT FOR FIRST USE
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
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.

MAT SET UP
Each Resilite mat is custom manufactured.
Resilite Zip Mats are constructed in multiple
sections that require the sections to be
properly interlocked 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
the mat section(s) until the circle
lines match.
NOTE: Once you have the mat sections aligned, use the lubricaring
wipes and roller to securely interlock each section together. See
page 5 more detailed instructions.
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,
Zip Mats will not shrink, however, they are subject
to minimal size variances of less than 1%. Resilite
guarantees that Zip Mats will be manufactured within a
+/-1% tolerance of the overall mat size ordered.
MAT SECTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS
BE PROPERLY INTERLOCKED
TOGETHER PRIOR TO USE.

WARNING
SERIOUS INJURY, OR IN SOME INSTANCES,
DEATH, MAY OCCUR IF MAT SECTIONS ARE NOT
PROPERLY INTERLOCKED.
INTERLOCKING MAT SECTIONS
Your mat was manufactured in sections.
It is important that you always interlock
the sections together. Never use a mat
without sections interlocked together.
STEP 2: Using the supplied 303 AeroSpace Protectant,
begin to lubricate the Resi-Lock Connection track. Carefully
wipe both the “female” and “male” areas of the track. Try not
to get the lubricant on the top surface of the mat.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LUBRICATE
BOTH THE MALE AND FEMALE TRACKS
BEFORE SECURING THE CONNECTION.
NOTE: The 303 Lubricant will not damage the mat surface,
but it may make the top mat surface slippery. If the lubricant
gets on the mat surface wipe the area with warm water and a
mild dish detergent.
STEP 3: Align Section 2 so that the “male” connecting track
OVERLAPS the “female” track of section 1. You may have
to “oat” air underneath Section #2 so that the Resi-Lock
Connection overlaps as shown.
NOTE: On the end of each section there is a small 1/2” area
where the “female” track has been removed. This “relief”
allows for easier release of the Resi-Lock Connection when
it is time to roll up the mats.
STEP 4: Use your ngers and/or thumb to lock the rst 2-ft
of the Resi-Lock Connection securely together.
NOTE: Mat sections may move during use. Check the mat
periodically during use to ensure that it remains properly and
securely interlocked together.

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 properly connect all mat sections
together tightly. Serious injury or death may occur if using
a mat this is not properly interlocked together. Never use a
mat that has not been inspected for proper connection.
Inspect the foam for compression qualities and deep
impressions, which would decrease the shock absorption
properties of the mat. The mat 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.
STEP 5: Using a Pressure Roller or your thumb, continue
to connect the Resi-Lock Connection the entire length of
the mat. Apply rm, even pressure to secure the mat seam.
ALWAYS LUBRICATE THE CONNECTING
TRACKS BEFORE ROLLING TO ENSURE
A SECURE CONNECTION CAN BE MADE.
WARNING: If a section of the Zip Mat did not
completely “snap” or “lock” into place, lubricate
that area of the track system again and rmly
press into place with your thumb or roller.

BREAKING DOWN YOUR ZIP MAT
Your Zip Mat can be taken down as quickly and easily as
it went together.
STEP 1: Start with the LAST section, it should be the
section farthest to the RIGHT of the Scoring Table.
Release the Resi-Lock Connection on the OVERLAPPING
“male” section by carefully separating the top “male” from
the bottom “female” at the engineered relief on the end of
the track system.
STEP 2: Once the OVERLAPPING “male” track is
released, begin to roll-up the mat section.
STEP 3: Once each of the mat sections are rolled, use
the supplied straps to secure each roll. Store each mat
section on END with the “male” track of Resi-Lock
Connection System facing UP.
WARNING: Store mat sections on end,
with the Resi-Lock track system facing UP.
Do not stand mat sections on end with the
track system on the bottom. Doing so may
result in damage to the Resi-Lock track system that can
result in the inability to securely connect your mat sections.

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 the mat up 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 Zip 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 with the
Resi-Lock track system facing
U P. 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.

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 www.nwcaonline.com.
Never use a mat that is not properly interlocked together
Securely connect each mat section together. If a section of the Resi-Lock Connection did not completely “snap” or
“lock” into place, lubricate that area of the track and rmly lock into place with your thumb or roller.
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 303 Lubricating Wipes sold or supplied by the mat manufacturer
Use 303 Lubricating Wipes recommended by Resilite. Other lubricants may lead to drying-out of the track system
which could cause the material to deteriorate prematurely.
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.
