2Springfree™ Trampoline Model SF80 Trampoline and Enclosure Assembly, Installation, Care, Maintenance and Use Instructions Version 1.0
Recommended jumper weight rating: 220 lbs (100 kg)
The Springfree™ Model SF80 trampoline has been designed for optimal use by most healthy
children and adults. Persons at or near 220 lbs (100 kg) should be cautious in their maneuvers to
ensure they do not initiate contact with the ground via the mat which may cause injury. The SF80
has been static load tested to 1100 lbs (500 kg) using methodology described in standard BS EN
13219-2001.
Stability recommendation
The FlexiNet™ safety enclosure system catches and cushions users from impact that may result
from leaving the jumping surface. Vigorous, high-speed contact with the FlexiNet™ safety enclo-
sure by persons approaching the recommended weight limit may result in tilting or tipping of the
trampoline o its base.
For increased stability during use, especially for users approaching the 220 lb (100 kg)
weight limit, we recommend that you use the supplied sandbags (described in the assembly
instructions). The sandbags also help keep the trampoline down in windy weather.
WARNING: Read these materials prior to assembling and using
this trampoline and enclosure
Do not allow more than one person at the same time
on the trampoline or enclosure. Use by more than one
person can result in serious injury.
Do not attempt or allow somersaults. Landing on the
head or neck can cause serious injury, paralysis or
death even when landing on the middle of the bed.
Keep face clear of loaded trampoline and enclosure
rods, particularly during assembly and disassembly.
Do not attempt to disassemble trampoline enclosure
support rods from the rod joiner mechanism while the
rods are installed in the trampoline and under tension.
Do not hold onto, or place ngers between the rods
while someone is jumping on the trampoline.

safe, enjoyable use of this equipment.
The Springfree™27. Trampoline has the indus-
try’s highest weight to area ratio. However,
in extreme wind conditions the large sur-
face area of the mat can capture enough
wind energy to result in the trampoline
being lifted from its installation location.
Owners of trampolines installed in areas
susceptible to high winds, or owners who
wish to anchor their trampoline as a result
of this warning should consider applying
some type of anchoring system to the base
of the trampoline legs.

Step 9: Inserting the rst rod
Find the strip at the lower part of the net with
the holes in it. Select the hole that has a label
“1st Rod Position” sewn next to it (Figure 9-A).
Find the rod socket on the straight frame sec-
tion that has the sticker “1st Rod Position” next
to it (Figure 9-B).
Put the rod through the net hole and back
into the socket hole you have located
(Figure 9-C). Figure 9-A: The hole strip on the enclosure
Figure 9-B: The rst rod socket
Step 8: Positioning the enclosure
Lay the enclosure net around the frame with
the enclosure door (the zippers) between two
legs on a straight frame section (Figure 8).
Ensure the inside of the enclosure is up. The
enclosure pockets are on the outside at the top
of the net, and should be down.
Figure 8: The enclosure properly laid around the
trampoline frame

Tip: Follow Steps 8
and 9 very carefully to
place the enclosure
net properly. Not
following these steps
carefully may result in
the enclosure being
installed inside out.
WARNING: Ensure rods are seated
right down to the bottom of each
socket. Rods that are improperly
seated may eject unexpectedly,
which may cause injury.
Figure 9-C: The rod going into rst socket
Slide the net at the hole down to the bottom of
the rod. The rst rod label should be facing out
(Figure 9-C).

15Springfree™ Trampoline Model SF80 Trampoline and Enclosure Assembly, Installation, Care, Maintenance and Use Instructions Version 1.0
Step 12: Attaching the rst
rods to the mat
Choose a rod in a socket along a straight sec-
tion with the sticker “1st rod position.” Connect
the ball end of this rod to the tting in the mat
marked with a label “1st rod position” (Figure
12-A and Figure 12-B).
Repeat in a clockwise direction on all straight
sections.
Figure 12-A: The rst rod attached to the mat
WARNING: Treat any loaded rod
with caution until you are sure it is
properly installed or uninstalled.
Keep your face well away from any
loaded rod.
Step 11: Laying down the mat
When all rods are in place, put the mat inside
the frame with the jumping surface facing up.
The jumping surface has the colored stripes
sewn around the edge (Figure 11).

Step 10: Inserting the remaining
rods
Insert the remaining rods through each hole in
the bottom strip of the enclosure and into the
respective sockets (Figure 10).
Ensure the rods are seated right down to the
bottom of each socket.

16 Springfree™ Trampoline Model SF80 Trampoline and Enclosure Assembly, Installation, Care, Maintenance and Use Instructions Version 1.0
Step 13: Attaching every fth
rod to the mat
Working from right to left, count four empty
sockets in the edge of the mat. Mount the fth;
this leaves four unconnected rods between
groups (Figure 13-A).
Continue around the tramp from right to
left, mounting every fth mat socket to the cor-
responding rod.
Figure 13-A: Every fth rod attached to the mat
WARNING: Do not use the trampoline
until it is completely assembled.
Failure to follow these instructions
may cause rods to break or eject from
the frame.
Figure 13-B: Preferred rod bending technique
Tip: Push the rod in
with your right hand,
palm facing up, and
with your elbow to
hip, while pulling
the mat socket left
and up with the left
hand. This method
uses your body
weight to ex the rods
(rather than pure arm
strength), and it also
keeps your face away
from the loaded rods
(Figure 13-B).
Tip: It is easiest to
mount the rod ball
to the tting by
pushing the rod in
and up towards the
mat, while pulling the
mat tting to the left.
The ball then pushes
back naturally into
the tting (some rods
will need to be bent a
long way at rst).
Tip: Make sure the
safety clip in the
mat-edge socket
has closed behind
the ball. If the ball is
properly installed, you
should not be able to
slide the ball out of
the mat socket
(Figure 12-C).

Step 15: Sliding the enclosure
net up the rods
Lift the enclosure net from the ground, up on
to the trampoline mat. (It may be a tight t over
the mat edge). Please ensure the net does not
snag on the frame bolts as this may tear the net.
Circling the trampoline from right to left,
slide the net bottom strip up the rods to the
top, just under the mat edge. The long zip
will now end along the straight edge of the
trampoline.
To avoid unnecessary wear on the net,
please ensure that the bottom net weave band
covers the edge of the mat.
Figure 15: The enclosure being slid up the rods and up
onto the mat
Step 16: Inserting the horizontal
net supports
Locate the top edge of the enclosure along the
straight edges of the trampoline.
Slide the horizontal rod into the pocket along
the top enclosure edge and secure with the
Velcro tab (Figure 16).
Repeat on all straight sides of the trampoline
net.
Figure 16: The horizontal rods being inserted into
their sleeves in the enclosure
WARNING: Treat any loaded rod
with caution until you are sure it is
properly installed or uninstalled.
Keep your face well away from any
loaded rod.
Step 14: Attaching the remaining
rods to the mat
Now, install one more rod to the left of each
group, while circling the trampoline.
Continue to circle around the trampoline
installing one rod per group until all rods are
connected (Figure 14-A).
Figure 14-A: The remaining rods attached to the mat
Figure 14-B: The release clip on the mat tting
Tip: If you miscount, and need to release a
connected rod, release the clip before trying to
disconnect the ball from the mat socket. The
clip is released by pushing the lever towards
the mat centre. Apply pressure on the rod until
it is unloaded (Figure 14-B).

Step 18: Inserting the rst enclosure
rod
Insert the ball end of the rod up through the
loop and into a pocket in the top edge of the
net.
Ensure the rod is pushed right to the end
of the pocket. Unless you do this, the internal
catch cannot prevent the rod from coming out
during use. Next, hoist the net up (Figure 18).
Figure 18: Inserting an enclosure rod into a pocket
Step 17: Assembling the enclosure
rods
Straighten the enclosure rods and slide the
white joiner down to lock the two rods together
(Figures 17-A, B and C).

Step 19: Bending the enclosure rod
into it’s socket
Bend the rod and insert the bottom end into
the socket on the frame (Figure 19). Ensure that
the rod is pushed right down into its socket
and locked in place by the C-Clip. Next, insert
the enclosure rod on the opposite side of the
trampoline.
Figure 19: The enclosure rod being bent and inserted
into the socket
Step 20: Completing the enclosure
Insert remaining enclosure support rods by the
same process: put the top ball through the loop
into the pocket, hoist the rod, then insert the
bottom end of the rod into the socket by the
leg.
Ensure the joiner-lock is engaged, holding
the short and long pieces of the enclosure rod.
Also, ensure that the rod is pushed right down
into its socket and locked in place by the C-Clip.
Again, ensure rods are pushed right to the
ends of the pockets so the internal catches will
prevent them from coming out.

C-clips should be pre-installed onto the sockets.
Check and ensure the 12 C-clips are on the
sockets. Ensure these clips capture the rods and
prevent them from being pulled out.

20 Springfree™ Trampoline Model SF80 Trampoline and Enclosure Assembly, Installation, Care, Maintenance and Use Instructions Version 1.0
Recommended Step: Use sandbags
for increased stability
For increased stability, your trampoline comes
with four sandbags, which you ll with sand and
place over each leg (sand not included).
Fill the bag to approximately 6 inches (150
mm) below the top with wet or dry sand (Figure
22-A).
Fold the top of the bag twice over such that
the Velcro strips meet (Figure 22-B).
Place one sandbag over each trampoline leg
on the straight edge of the trampoline such
that it cannot slip o (i.e. the stitched seam in
the center should lay over the leg tube). (Figure
22-C).

WARNING: The Springfree™
Trampoline has the industry’s highest
weight to area ratio. However, in
extreme wind conditions the large
surface area of the mat can capture
enough wind energy to result in
the trampoline being lifted from
its installation location. Owners
of trampolines installed in areas
susceptible to high winds, or owners
who wish to anchor their trampoline as
a result of this warning should consider
applying some type of anchoring
system to the base of the trampoline
legs.
