1. INTRODUCTION
a. PURPOSE
The purpose of this manual is to explain the guidelines by which the operator must operate this
attraction. It is an important and informative part of the training program. The goal of the
manual is to help you become an efficient, knowledgeable, and well-trained operator.
It is important that you read your operator’s manual carefully and follow these rules in
performing your job. Never deviate from the standard operating procedures outlined in this
manual without approval. If procedures or instructional material seem unclear, please feel free to
ask questions at any time during your training. Remember to always be thinking SAFETY while
operating EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE.
This manual has been designed to help you understand this attraction. It is not, however, a
substitute for the in-depth, on location training you will receive. Rather, it has been designed as a
training supplement and should be used as such.
Copies of this manual are kept on location. Operators are encouraged to access the manual at
any time to seek information or clarification.
b. GENERAL ATTRACTION INFORMATION:
Manufactured by the company called EUROBUNGY, EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE is the latest in
revenue generating interactive sports products designed for the amusement, entertainment, and
fitness industries. This attraction is based on a simple trampoline with the added feature of a
system of elastics that permit riders (jumpers) to make unusually high, stable jumps in a safe
setting.

c. GENERAL SAFETY
We are dedicated to providing our guests with a safe and enjoyable day when they go on a
EUROBUNGY ride and we must all work together to fulfill that goal. Safety is engineered into your
area but there is no substitute for alertness on your part: your every action and movement must
reflect this reality. Look and listen for changes in your every environment, which might indicate a
problem. If you think that there is something wrong or unsafe, do not hesitate to stop the
operation and contact your supervisor and maintenance immediately. We are always striving to
improve our safety program. If you ever have any suggestions, please let us know. At no time
should you as a team member sacrifice safety for any reason.
It is, and always has been, the policy EUROBUNGY that SAFETY COMES FIRST. As a
Operator/Owner it is your responsibility to oversee the operation of the attraction and prevent
and/or take action to prevent those situations that could constitute a safety problem.
To assist you in this responsibility, you will be trained in all operational aspects of the attraction,
as well as being tested to ensure that the proper knowledge has been transmitted and retrained.
As an operator, you will become familiar with the attraction; noises, procedures, nuances, and
any changes in its operation or surroundings will be quite apparent to you. Notify your
supervisor should you notice a change in the way the attraction operates, or if you receive a
comment from our guests. All questions and concerns regarding a safe operation MUST be
checked out, verified and/or corrected immediately.
Safety is an issue that this company will not compromise; it is an issue that needs to be one of
the foremost thoughts on the minds of each and every operator's mind.
2. Maintenance Procedures for the EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE
The EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE consists of basically a structure what holds pulleys on the top
and a hoist-drive what lifts a human up, using the upper pulleys on the structure.
A Carabiner is hooked into the loop end of the hoist rope.
A pulley, what we call the “Hoist Pulley” is hooked into the carabiner. Several models have a
stainless steel swivel in between carabiner & Pulley.
A Jumper rope with two LOOP-Ends goes thru the Hoist-Pulley !
The Jumper-Rope goes through four pulleys which are anchored along the structure.
The Upper Pulleys should be anchored thru a stainless steel swivel at the structure.
The Loop Ends of the Jumper Ropes are directly hooked at one Alu-Carabiner each which hooks
each into the elastics.
At the other end, the bottom part of the elastics, you hook in another Alu-Carabiner coming from
the harness-swivel into the elastics.
The elastics are hooked into an aluminum Carabiner which is hooked into the eye of the EB ring-
jaw swivel which gets connected into the leash of the harness

Maintenance at the EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE requires
a. Carabiner & Turnbuckles
It is important to lubricate (W40) the carabiners locks and the cables turnbuckles to keep them
easy to open.
b. Elastics
Loops should be stored in bags filled with Talcum to keep them smooth & dry and extend their
lifetime.
Powercords & Loops have to be stored in a place where they can not be kinked or hurt anyhow.
The best is any kind of box.
Important is to change the position where the Loops are touching the Alu-carabiners every now
and then.
c. Hoist
Once a year you should open the case, clean it and re grease the gearbox. You can also send
the motors in and EUROBUNGY can do the service for you.
d. Static Jumper Rope and Hoist Rope
During times the Ride is not set up, the Rope must be stored in a place where they can not be
kinked any how! The jumper rope and winch rope comes normally with sewn Loop ends.
Nevertheless, a regular knot is just as good and can be used of sewn Loop ends are not
available.
e. Steel-Cables
Steel-Cables must not be maintained but in case that the Ride is taken down, they must be
stored in a place and manor where they can not be kinked or hurt any how.
3. Replacement of Spare parts and Intervals
Whenever any part shows significant signs off wear and tear they must be replaced !

8. EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE ELEMENTS
1. HARNESSES
The EUROBUNGY-HARNESS is the actual link, the restraint system, between the jumper and the
“EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE”, as it straps the jumper to the elastics system. To safely utilize the
“EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE”, both the jumper and the instructor need to fully understand proper
harness fitting, adjusting, and positioning techniques. There are 2 sizes of harnesses:
HA 008
harness small (10lbs-100lbs)
HA 009
harness large (90lbs-200lbs)
The jumper should be fitted in a tight-fitting harness;
the jumper should wear the smallest size he/she fits.
Getting a proper size is very important for both safety and comfort.
SHOULD THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE JUMPER’S HIPS BE TOO SMALL TO ALLOW
THE COMPLETE TIGHTENING OF THE HARNESS WAIST-STRAP IN A SECURE MANNER,
DO NOT USE THE “EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE”. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A SECURE
WAIST WITHIN THE HARNESS WILL RESULT IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION.
The following is proper harness fitting procedure:
The jumper stands next to the trampoline
The harness strap in the back has to be adjusted to fit the jumper

Page 10 of 39
The proper amount of elastics fitting the jumpers weight have to be connected . The
leftovers hang down on the Carabiners which connect the jumper rope to the elastics
The jumper is to stand up in front of the harness.
Place the top strap above the hips of the jumper. This strap is to sit low on the waist of
the jumper as possible.
Close the buckle by putting one end into the other end of the buckle (like in a car seat),
make sure the mechanism “locked”.
Tighten the strap around the hip, don’t tighten too much, check the jumper feels
comfortable.
The carabiners (safe snap links) should be on the outside and above the hips of the
jumper.
If you cannot close the strap completely, use a smaller harness or open the strap in the
back
Put the leg straps around the legs. A rough general adjustment of these straps should
occur before feeding the strap in between the legs of the jumper.
Close the buckle and make sure it’s locked.
Tighten the strap around the leg and check the jumpers’ comfort.
Assure that the leashes where the elastics are hanging into are right on the sides of the
hips ! If they are not positioned right and left, readjust the harness.
If the jumper does not fit in any of the harnesses,
do not use the EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE !!
The harness should fit the jumper tightly, but not so tightly that it is uncomfortable. The harness
straps should rest comfortably at the top of the thighs and around the buttocks. Make sure that
the clothing of the jumper is not bunched or gathered beneath the straps.
The instructor should ask the jumper how the harness feels and make sure that the
jumper is comfortable and confident in the harness.
The jumper should be told to voice any concerns with the harness and or his/her comfort at ANY
time during their time on the “EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE”. Should the harness become
uncomfortable for the jumper during their time, instruct the jumper to stop their movement and
lower the hoist down so the instructor can fix the harness.
During any time working on the harness, the instructor is to be aware of keeping his or her
hands clear of the jumper’s genital area.
HARNESS MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
-Don’t use warmer water than 30 degrees Celsius for cleaning. Use regular laundry soap
and clear water to wash it out
-Neither store the harnesses in the direct sun light nor use the direct sun light to dry wet
harnesses. Use a fan or well air circulated area for storage and drying process
-Don’t use any sharp tools to use with the harness
-Max temperature are 40 below and 80 above zero Degrees Celsius
Important Notice: specific training is essential before use

2. HOIST
The hoists run on 110 or 220Volts. When the hoist is in use, double check that all ropes are
untangled and moving freely; this should be monitored constantly. Make sure that the hoist and
the hoist rope attached to it are in good working order. Never pull up with the hoist when the
knot or stitch on the jump rope end is closer than 2 inches to the pulley on the top pole. Stop
lowering motion of the hoist before the cable is loose. The operator should use the hoist to help
the jumper achieve the highest possible jump. Pull up the hoist while the jumper is in the
upward motion. Do this with extreme care and caution. Ideally, the jumper should never go
deeper than 4 to 6 inches into the trampoline. Always monitor the rope of the hoist for tautness
and that it is entering the hoist from the top. Finally, do not allow any uncertified or
unauthorized person to operate the hoist controls or be near the hoist at any time.
In case of Power-failure grab the jumpers harness at the two carabiners at each side.. have a
second person unhook the elastics one by one.
Adjusting the limit switch.
New models have a limit switch disc. Connect the one of the thinnest elastic one each side of the
harness and pull it all the way up. When the end of the jumper rope pulls into the upper pulley (
on both sides) , that’s where the limit disc should hit the limit switch and push it down.
Tight the Screws in the disc so it can not travel along the winch rope or if it is a new Limit Disk
without any screws, just use two zip-ties on each side of the disc to fix its location.
This avoids that any operator can pull the rope too far up !
ATTENTION
Some Operators do lower down the Hoist too far and then keep on pushing the “DOWN” button
but actually are pulling the jumper up. The winch ropes winds up reverse and once the limit disc
hits the limit switch, it does not work ( it only works in one way) and the result is a breaking off
the alu-cast socket of the limit switch.
If it happens you have to connect both cables going to the limit switch in order to keep on
operation. Nevertheless, this is only a temporary solution for repair.
3. ELASTICS (POWERCORDS) & LOOPS
The elastics are the fundamental element of the EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE The elastics, in
conjunction with the harness, connect the jumper to the frame of the attraction and it is the
elastics system that allows the jumper to reach such incredible heights while simultaneously
providing the stability for acrobatic movement. This elastic system allows for the various weight
ranges of the jumpers, which must be between 20 and 200 pounds. The elastics should be
monitored constantly for signs of wear and tear. Should a Powercord break or look worn, replace
immediately . The elastics should be inspected daily and replaced as required for optimal use and
safety. If at anytime the interior cords are visible through the protective sheath of the Powercord
the cord must be retired. The supervisor/manager will keep a log of Powercord installation dates
(See Appendix A) to ensure proper replacement as scheduled. Only use elastics supplied by
EuroBungy; do not use any other elastic system. Failure to do so will void the warranty and

create an unsafe situation. Be sure to store the elastics in a cool dry place. Should the elastics
get wet, dry them completely before using them again. Make sure that all carabiners are in
closed position and tightly secured before each use. Never use less than 2 elastics per side of
the harness. Do not allow the elastics to become entangled. LOOPS made out of Latex should be
stored in a bag or box with Talcum or treated with Silicon Spray to extend the lifespan as much
as possible.
CHANGE IN CONFIGURATION
In April 2005 we did a change in the configuration of harness, carabiner, elastics, swivels and
jumper rope.
So far the configuration was as following:
Harness –carabiner –elastics –carabiner –swivel –jumper rope
Now we recommend the following
Harness –swivel –carabiner –elastics –carabiner –jumper rope
Why do we do so ?
We found out that most of our customer let the elastics which they do not use, hanging onto the
top carabiner where you connect it to swivel & the jumper rope.
But with these elastics hanging there, the swivel does not swivel and all the elastics get tangled
up !
Therefore we designed a new swivel which you can hook in directly into the harness and since
we have the new wide range harnesses, there is not tangling of elastics anymore and the
operators is saving valuable time during the operation !
WEIGHT RANGE TABLE
The following table shows how many elastic loops should be utilized per side of the harness with
the various weights:
There are two different diameters. Thin & thick. Never put less than two elastics at each sid of
the hips.

you might have to increase the number of elastics. Also the capability of the jumper increases or
decreases the numbers of elastics you have to put on.

A copy of this chart should always be posted at each trampoline for quick reference. This chart is
meant to be a rough orientation. The number of elastics needed vary greatly with the individual
abilities of the jumper. This effect becomes more pronounced at the upper end of the weight
scale as it goes almost unnoticed at the lower weight classes.
-Use the higher number of elastics if jumper is on upper end of weight range and/or if
jumper is very dynamic and athletic.
-Never use any elastic that show signs of wear and tear.
-Always replace elastics with Eurobungy elastics; failure to do so will nullify your
warranty..
-A jumper who is unable to refrain from swinging back and forth during the jump
is attached to the incorrect number of elastics. Refer to the Safety Aspects and
Troubleshooting Section in the Training Manual.
!!!! we recommend to use generally 10lbs less. Most of the jumpers are not that trained in
jumping and have rather to few than too many of the elastics.
Too many elastics causes SWINGING.

How to repair the Loops when they snap.
The Loops are a natural product and there fore unpredictable sometimes in snapping.
Nevertheless you can tie them up without any problem. Here is how:
Tape knot (or Water knot)
The pictures are showing a webbing , it is the same with the elastics.
After doing the knot, spray some water on it before tying it !
Also take each end of the elastic into one hand.
Then twist one elastics’s tail end 10 times before knotting it!
The tape knot, as its name suggests, is
used to tie the ends of tape (webbing)
together, usually into a loop for an anchor.
It is actually just an overhand bend tied in
tape, but rarely known as such.
Note that tape knots can fail under cyclic
loading/unloading, so you should make
sure that the knot has sufficient tails (20
cm/8 inches) if you have a number of
people abseiling off the anchor. You
should also check carefully if you are
using an anchor set by another party, as
the margin of safety may have diminished.
Start by tying an overhand knot in one
piece of tape, making sure not to
introduce any twists.

4. Frame
The aluminum frame and revolutionary design is what makes the EUROBUNG-TRAMPOLINES
unique. With this incredible layout, depending of the model, up to 5 jumpers can experience the
fun at the same time. Make sure that the frame is clean and dry while operating. Be sure to
secure all cables and bolts properly, see the construction manual for instructions.
All binding units and connection points should be completely closed and secure and
should be monitored throughout usage.
All ropes connected to the frame should be straight and able to move freely through the pulleys.
Stop the operation immediately if any of the mentioned criteria is in malfunction!
5. SUSPENSIONS –TRAMPOLINES
The suspensions are the elements of the “EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE” that allow the jumper to
rebound and gain momentum by providing a bouncy cushion.
Minimum Size should be 7’ wide and 10’ length.
There are two types of suspensions: air trampolines for temporary use and steel frame
trampolines for permanent use. Once the jumper is standing safe on the trampoline, attach the
harness immediately like described above and then pull the hoist up slightly at first to ensure the
jumper does not fall off of the trampoline. Make sure that the jumper is always connected to
tightened elastics while on the trampoline.
The instructor should not allow any horse-play on the trampolines.
The Instructor should not be allowed to stand onto the trampoline.

Steel/Alu Trampolines
Always make sure that the springs of the steel/alu framed trampolines are covered
with the soft protector to prevent any injuries.
The suspension system is half of the fun in using the “EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE” but the
jumper needs to be very careful on it as well. This means that the instructor needs to always be
aware of the jumper and his/her placement on the trampoline. The jumper should try to stay in
the center of the trampoline for maximum stability and height.
The instructor should not allow anyone else besides the jumper on the trampoline
while the “EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE” is in use. Always make sure that the jumper
enters the steel trampoline using the access steps. These Steps should always be
checked about their correct and safe positioning.
Wind
Air Tramps
In hot weather the air tramps has to be deflated to avoid any leaking of the sealed unions.
To test if there is enough air inside the trampoline tubes, jump on the canvas without elastics
and if you do not hit the floor, it’s tight enough. To test not having to much air in the tubes,
press lightly against the PVC material. If you can not bump in at least 2”, release some air.
Banners
If your EUROBUNGY is equipped with banners please read this chapter.
The banners do not resist to big thunderstorms. In case of heavy weather conditions they can
be destroyed by the wind. The construction itself is proofed for 75mph, the banners up to
45mph.
You may not operate the EUROBUNGY with winds exceeding 45mph.
On the new EUROBUNGY model 2005, the banners can be taken off with the short 130.5” long
cables.
6. Fence
The EUROBUNGY can be fenced in.
During Non-Operation and Operation Hours to pretend unauthorized access.
9. PERFORMING A SAFETY CHECK
The supervisor opening the attraction in the morning will conduct a Maintenance inspection. All
operating equipment and EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE systems are inspected on a daily basis
prior to operations. There is no exception to this rule. Supervisors must complete the inspection
on the EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE systems. Any problems encountered must be reported to
supervision and park maintenance personnel if necessary immediately before the inspection is
completed.
It is imperative that every harness, karabiner, and all other operating equipment is inspected.
Supervisors will use the Daily Inspection form to record their inspection. Once the equipment
has been inspected and verified, the supervisor should complete the Daily Inspection Form.
