Internal Spring Trampoline

Safety

Safe use of a trampoline requires adequate knowledge of technique, as well as actions to

avoid. • Trampolines may propel users to unaccustomed heights and into a variety of body

movements – it is the responsibility of the owner of the equipment to ensure that all users are familiar with

rules for safe use. • Misuse and abuse of trampolines can be highly dangerous and may cause serious

injuries. • The owner/user of the equipment accepts all risk that may be involved in using the equipment.

•Maximum weight capacity = 150kg. Persons at or near 150kg weight should "test" spring action by

jumping lightly on the mat. If spring action is low, the person will not be propelled – stop use immediately.

Remove and inspect the springs. If the springs are stretched, the trampoline should not be used until the

springs have been replaced. Check the mat for stretching or tears and replace as necessary.

•This product is for domestic use only. Commercial or public use will void any warranty.

•Do NOT attempt to use the equipment until it has been fully assembled according to instructions. Failure

to fully and properly assemble the equipment may render its use dangerous and will void any warranty.

•Do NOT attempt or allow somersaults or other manoeuvres that may cause users to not land on their

feet. Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury, paralysis or death.

•Do NOT allow more than one person to use the trampoline at the same time. Use by more than one

person may result in serious injury.

•Not suitable for children under 6 years of age.

•Children should always be under responsible adult supervision when using the equipment.

•When the equipment is not in use, remove the ladder to help prevent unsupervised use.

•When positioning the equipment, observe the following:

−Overhead clearance – A minimum of 8m from ground level is recommended. Provide clearance for

electrical wires, tree branches, gutters and other possible hazards.

−Avoid walls, structures, fences etc. Maintain clearance on all sides of the equipment.

−Install on a flat and level surface before use.

−Where possible, secure the equipment against unauthorised and unsupervised use.

−Remove any obstructions from beneath the equipment.

−The recommended surface is grass. If installing the equipment on hard surfaces such as concrete, a

high-density foam (similar to that used in public playgrounds) should be installed under each leg.

−It is recommended to securely anchor the equipment to prevent movement during use or from winds.

•Inspect the equipment before each use. Ensure the safety net and padding is correctly and securely

positioned. Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.

•Do not jump on or off the equipment when mounting/dismounting. Do not use the equipment as a

springboard to other objects.

•Learn fundamental bounce control and body positions thoroughly before attempting more advanced

skills, higher bouncing etc.

•Do not use the equipment in wet conditions, gusty or strong winds.

•Always jump in the centre of the mat. Do NOT jump against the safety net or on the safety padding. The

safety net and safety padding are designed to reduce the severity of falls only, and are NOT intended as

play features.

•Do not use equipment when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

•This equipment is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.

•If the equipment is to be moved after assembly, fully lift it off the ground and carry it to the new location.

Assembly

Do NOT attempt to use the equipment until it has been fully assembled according to

instructions. Failure to fully and properly assemble the equipment may render its use

dangerous and will void any warranty. • Secure the trampoline to a flat solid surface with pegs or

sandbags. During assembly, consider the position of the basketball hoop and the entry way. • Some tools

(not supplied) may be required for assembly, such as suitable screwdrivers and spanners.

Assembling the Frame and Mat

1. Start by laying out the circular frame segments in position (leg attachment tubes facing the ground).

2. Join the circular frame segments by pushing each tube into the next and securing using Phillips head

screws (1 screw at each joint). The last connection is made easier if you push both pieces towards the

centre of the circle while joining the segments.

3. Assemble the legs to the leg extension tubes using Phillips head screws (1 screw at each joint). Insert

the screws from the "inside" of the frame.

4. Lift the assembled frame and insert the leg assemblies to the leg attachment tubes of the frame using

Phillips head screws (1 screw at each joint). Insert the screws from the "inside" of the frame.

5. Hook all springs to the frame spring holes. The U shaped end goes into the frame. The "curly" end

(shown on the spring image right-hand side) hooks to the trampoline mat.

6. Spread the mat out to full size centrally under the

assembled frame.

7. Remove one spring from the frame, then lift the edge of the mat

and hook the "curly" end of the spring to a mat spring loop.

8. Use the hook end of the spring tool to pull the free end of the

spring toward the frame and to hook it into the frame spring hole.

9. Continue hooking the mat to springs and frame in the following

order (use the spring tool as pictured).

−First 2 springs at 12 and 6 o’clock positions. Be sure to count

the frame spring holes and mat spring loops accurately so the correct mat spring loop connects to

the correct frame spring hole.

−Next 2 springs at 3 and 9 o’clock positions.

−Then, continue with all remaining springs in any order.

Fitting the Spring Padding and Safety Net

10. Unroll the spring padding and place it over the springs, then fold the outer flap of the spring padding over

the frame tubes.

11. Loosely tie the elastic straps under the spring padding to the springs, then fold the outer flap of the

spring padding over the frame tubes. If the elastic is tied too tightly, it will get caught in the spring and

likely be damaged or cut when the trampoline is in use.

12. Lay the net on the trampoline mat, with the base of the net [with the straps] towards the edge of the mat

and the entry way where you want it.

13. Join the safety net poles together – the pole with

the black plug in the end and the smaller diameter

section on the other is the lower pole (A). The

upper pole (B) has a small indent in the tube (C)

that is used to lock the poles together.

14. Bring the poles together and connect them by

hand (D). It will be necessary to hold the poles

vertically and strike the bottom of the pole against

a hard surface to force the upper pole down on to

the lower pole. Continue until the poles are fully

joined (E).

15. Slide 2 pieces of safety padding over the pole and

insert a pole cap (F) at the top of the

upper pole. Some models may come

with the pole caps and padding pre-

assembled, so this step may be

unnecessary.

16. Slide a safety net pole, pole cap first, into

a sleeve in the safety net (G). The pole

cap will be up against the closed end of

the sleeve at the top of the net when fully inserted. Ensure that the

safety padding is fully inserted into the sleeve. Allow the pole to rest on

the trampoline mat.

17. Insert an assembled safety net pole into the next safety net sleeve, and

repeat for all remaining safety net poles. When finished, the trampoline

should look similar to H.

18. Carefully raise a safety net pole so it is vertical, and bring it up against the trampoline leg (I). The bottom

of the pole should be resting on the ground.

19. Attach the safety net pole to the trampoline leg using 2 pole clamps. Each clamp should be placed at the

bottom and the top of the leg, respectively (J). Attach each clamp by sliding a rubber (K) into the curved

section of the U-bolt (L), then place a tube spacer (M) between the safety net pole and trampoline leg.

Push the U-bolt legs through the holes in the tube spacer so the rubber is up against the safety net pole,

then place a bracket (N) over the U-bolt legs and secure using 2 nuts (O). Firmly tighten the nuts.

20. Repeat step 18/19 for all remaining safety net poles.

21. At the base of the safety net, wrap each elastic net

strap around the frame tube and secure it using the

strap clip.

22. Attach the shoe holder netting (some models only)

and ladder to the frame near the safety net entry

way. Ensure that ladder is securely assembled, then

hook it over the frame tube.

Fitting the Basketball Hoop

If applicable, assemble the basketball hoop according to its instructions.

Place the hoop attachment tube (P) against the outer side of the desired

safety net pole (Q) (opposite the safety net entry way is recommended).

Ensure that the small hole (R) in the side of the hoop attachment tube is

opposite the safety net pole and slightly above the pole cap (S). Secure

the attachment tube to the safety net pole using 2 clamps (T) – follow the

procedure described in step 19 to clamp the tubes.

Note: The safety net is not shown in the basketball hoop attachment

image. • You will have to push the clamp U-bolt legs through the safety

net – do this carefully and be sure not to tear the net. • Ensure that the

clamp bracket/nuts are on the outside of the trampoline.

Press in the spring-loaded alignment pin in the basketball hoop tube,

then slide the tube into the hoop attachment tube. Ensure that the spring-loaded pin

"pops" into the hole in the hoop attachment tube. To remove the basketball hoop

assembly, push the spring-loaded pin in, then pull the assembly up and out of the

hoop attachment tube. Note that the inflation needle for the ball may be stored in

the pump handle.

Using the Basketball Hoop

The basketball hoop should NOT be pulled down or 'slam-dunked'. Pulling down on the hoop will place

additional stress on the net support post. This can result in the post snapping and/or serious injury.

To help reduce movement of the trampoline during use or due to winds etc, it is strongly

recommended to fix the trampoline legs to the ground using a suitable anchorsor pegs from

a hardware supplier. If the trampoline is set up on a hard surface, sandbags over the legs may suffice.

Anchoring the Trampoline

Using anchors may not fully secure the trampoline during use or in strong winds, but may

reduce the possibility of movement. • Before installing anchor stakes, be sure that there are

no underground utilities such as electrical, gas, water etc where the stakes are to be installed. • Anchors may

vary in appearance from those shown in this manual. • If the equipment is to be moved after assembly,

lift it fully off the ground and carry it to the new location. Do NOT drag the equipment as this may

weaken or damage the frame and will void any warranty.

Your trampoline may be supplied with anchors. This is to help prevent movement of the trampoline when in

use or by wind etc.

Installation

Install an anchor to each trampoline leg,

wherever possible. If there are not

enough anchors for all legs, ensure that

each pair of anchors are installed on

opposite sides of the trampoline (for

example, red or green in the adjacent

image). If the trampoline has 6 legs,

install an anchor to 2 adjacent legs, skip

a leg, then anchor the next 2 adjacent

legs. Anchor stakes should be installed

under the trampoline so they are not a

trip hazard.

1. Wrap a section of each anchor

strap around the trampoline frame

and the centre of the leg. Feed the

end of the strap into the buckle so

it wraps around the buckle pin then

under the buckle teeth. Pull the

end of the strap so the strap is

taught.

2. Insert each anchor stake as close

to the inside of the trampoline leg

as possible. Insert a screwdriver or

suitable tool into the eye of the

stake and rotate it right to "screw"

it into the earth until there is

roughly 50mm (2") from the ground

to the top of the stake. Ensure that the opening in the

eye of the stake is facing toward the centre of the

trampoline.

3. Feed the end of the remaining section of each anchor

strap through the eye of the anchor stake and into the

buckle so it wraps around the buckle pin then under the

buckle teeth. Pull the end of the strap so the strap is

taught.

4. Repeat the above procedure for each anchor.
