WIND
In the event of strong wind, the trampoline can be blown away. If you are expecting strong wind, the trampoline must be
placed in a sheltered position or dismantled. Another option is to secure the round outer part (top frame) of the trampoline in
the ground with the help of ropes and stakes. Make sure that the connection at the bottom reaches to the middle of a frame
part. For a secure positioning, at least three connections must be placed in the ground. Don’t just secure the feet of the tram-
poline in the ground as these can be pulled out of the frame holders.
Trampolines higher than 51 cm are not suitable for use by children under the age of three.
DO NOT USE INSIDE.
