MAINTENANCE | CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Improper use or lack of care can lead to early deterioration of your trampoline. Please follow all of the points below to ensure
your trampoline lasts as long as possible.
WEATHER CARE
When your trampoline is not going to be used for a long period of time, it is best to disassemble and store it out of the
weather.
Clean fallen debris off the trampoline after rain and wipe off the water. Water left on the trampoline for extended periods of
time may accelerate corrosion of steel components and weaken the performance of textiles.
Disconnect the safety net from the net poles and cover the net and mat with a storm cover to protect it from flying debris.
Never position your trampoline under electricity cables.
An anchor kit is recommended to secure the trampoline to the ground.
It is recommended to disassemble the trampoline.
Keep your trampoline in a location that has the most shade cover during the peak of daylight each day. Minimise UV damage
by covering the trampoline when it is not in use.
STORAGE
Pack your trampoline in its original packaging in an environment free from humidity.
MOVING THE TRAMPOLINE
ÝÛ VULY recommends a minimum of eight adults to move the trampoline to ensure the lift is within heavy lifting regulations.
ÝÛ Dragging or not sufficiently lifting may cause bending or warping of the joiners and frame tubes.
ÝÛ Do not tilt up the trampoline to rest on its side or the frame may bend under its own weight.
ÝÛ The trampoline should be disassembled and put back into the original packaging to be moved long distances.
MATERIAL LIFESPAN WARNINGS
Metal Rust and Corrosion
ÝÛ Rusting will accelerate in areas that water is difficult to escape from.
ÝÛ Hollow section steel can appear in good condition on the outside while hiding rusted areas on the inside. All frame tubes
and poles should be inspected on the inside every six months and have any water removed from the inside surfaces.
ÝÛ Weld lines are particularly prone to rusting. Welds are used on the leafsprings and the joiners.
ÝÛ Areas where different metal components are joined together are particularly prone to rusting. All tube and pole connection
areas, where the leafsprings insert into the frame, where the leafsprings contact the upper frame, and the tubes used
inside the joiners are particularly prone to rusting.
ÝÛ General purpose grease used on connection areas will improve the anti-corrosive performance of the steel.
ÝÛ Excessively cleaning the steel components may reduce the effectiveness of the rust protection coatings.
Textile Deterioration
ÝÛ Ensure you clean your trampoline only with a soft sponge to avoid premature wear on the mat.
ÝÛ Do not use powerful soaps or detergents, as these can lead to damage of the textiles
ÝÛ Rainwater, if not wiped dry, may result in spots forming from residue left from the water as it dries.
ÝÛ Any water applied to clean the textiles must be wiped dry with a clean cloth or chamois and not simply left to dry in the
sun.
ÝÛ Prolonged exposure of the safety net to UV rays from the sun can lead to a shortened lifespan of the material. When the
trampoline will not be in use for more than one month, e.g. winter or storm seasons, remove the textile parts and store them
cleanly in their original packaging in a cool dry place out of sunlight.

MAINTENANCE | USAGE
PRECAUTIONARY ADVICE
User: Start by learning to bounce with small bounces until your confidence and coordination improve. Learn the basic
bouncing, landing, and stopping movements to develop a greater control of each bounce before attempting more advanced
techniques. Follow the guide to the fundamental skills and seek professional gymnastic training advice to further develop a
better understanding of the dynamics of a bounce and the progression of bounce routines.
Focus your eyes on the edge of the trampoline, this will help control your bounce.
Supervisor: The supervisor must be mature and knowledgeable about trampolines to ensure all of the safety guidelines are
enforced on the user. The supervisor must read this entire book and ensured that the user has also read this entire book. If
unable to provide supervision at times when the trampoline may be in use, it is advised that the trampoline be disassembled
to avoid unsupervised use.
BASIC SKILLS
These instructions contain advice on how to perform the fundamental skills of trampolining.
Bouncing
The most important thing about bouncing is that it should be done with control in the centre of the bed. The basic bounce
should always begin low. High, reckless bouncing should never be allowed.
The Stop Bounce
This technique allows the jumper to gain control by stopping quickly. It is achieved by keeping the feet in contact with the bed,
and absorbing the rebound of the trampoline with the knees and waist. This skill should be the first skill learned and should
be used whenever you feel out of balance or land away from the centre area.
To learn the stop bounce:
1. Stand in centre of the bed with your feet about hip-width apart.
2. Attempt about three easy bounces, keep them low and controlled.
3. Focus your eyes towards the perimeter of the trampoline while bouncing in order to keep your balance.
4. Stop the bounce by bending at your knees and hips on contact with the bed.
Arm Actions
Arms are very important for proper control and lift. Whenever you go up, your arms should go up also. They go up to a set
position about shoulder height and shoulder width. They should remain in this balanced position until you start down. Then
they circle down and slightly behind the hips, ready to lift again as you bounce up.
Leg Actions
There are three basic variations: the tuck, the pike, and the
straddle pike, respectively. These should be assumed at
the top of the bounce, before resuming the normal landing
position on your feet. Practice these simple variations and
concentrate on perfect form. Make sure that your toes
are pointed and fingers are straight. These are simple
variations to the basic bounce and are very important for
gaining experience in coordinated movement.

HEX VEX 2TM
Hex Vex 2TM is an interactive game printed on the jumping surface.
Originally based on “Add-ons”, a training tool used by elite trampolinists to improve their co-ordination and reaction time,
Hex Vex 2TM helps jumpers to enhance their balance, increase their memory and learn sequence. Invent new games with Hex
Vex 2TM and tell Vuly to have them published to the world!
Hex Vex 2TM Game Icons
Trampolines should be used by one person at a time. Some Hex Vex 2TM games are designed to be played by more than
one person. Players should climb off the trampoline to allow the next player to have their turn.
Match Up
Players: 2
Each player starts in the middle and picks the first icon to jump to. They then need to jump to the matching icon and continue
this process with all nine icons to complete one round. A miss-match jump ends their turn in the game.
The first person to complete three consecutive rounds of matched icons wins.
Mimic Me
Players: 2 or more
Player 1 starts on the edge of the trampoline and begins the game by calling out the name of an icon and jumping to it.
Players take turn, repeating the order of icons jumped on by the person before them, and then adding a new icon to the end
of their turn. A player is out if they incorrectly jump on an icon in the wrong order. The winner is the last player left.
Story Hop
Players: 2-3
A player starts in the middle of the jumping mat and all other players remain off the trampoline. The player jumps on any
icon, telling one element of a story that relates to that icon. The player then does the same with the remaining icons. To finish
their turn, the player must use each of the icons to tell a complete story. The winner is the player whose story achieves the
most laughs from all players involved.

MAINTENANCE | SPECIFIC USE & SAFETY LIMITATIONS
ÝÛ Trampolines should be placed on impact-absorbing surfaces such as grass, wood chip, sand (not beach sand to avoid rusting), rubber
or synthetic compounds. Trampolines produce high downwards pressure and can damage hard surfaces such as tiles.
ÝÛ The trampoline must not be used in gusty or severe winds and only when wind or air movement is calm and gentle.
ÝÛ Use the trampoline in a well-lit area.
SAFETY CHECKS
Every checking procedure is to be performed before using the trampoline.
Product Check
ÝÛ Inspect the trampoline before each use.
ÝÛ The trampoline safety net must always be correctly fitted to promote safer use of the trampoline.
ÝÛ Do not use the trampoline in the rain or wet conditions.
ÝÛ Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
ÝÛ Maintain a clear area around, above, and under the trampoline so nothing can interfere with the user.
ÝÛ Properly secure the trampoline when not in use to protect against unauthorised use.
ÝÛ Any ladder should be removed from the trampoline when not using the trampoline, to prevent young children from falling and injuring
themselves.
ÝÛ Do not allow any activity underneath the trampoline.
ÝÛ Check the surface of the mat for foreign objects and remove them.
ÝÛ Inspect the safety net structure for missing, improperly positioned, bent, broken or insecurely attached net poles, pole caps and sharp
protrusions.
ÝÛ Inspect the safety net textiles for deteriorated stitching, punctures, fraying, sagging, tears, or holes.
Personal Check
ÝÛ Do not bounce when tired or bounce for so long that you become tired.
ÝÛ Refrain from eating or drinking on the trampoline to avoid spillages and potential injury as a result.
ÝÛ It is advisable not to bounce immediately after a meal.
ÝÛ Do not use a trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
ÝÛ Ensure the user weight is less than 150kg / 330 lbs.
Clothing Check
ÝÛ Wear clothing that is tight fitting and allows freedom of movement
ÝÛ Do not wear shoes while bouncing on the trampoline unless they are designed specifically for use on a trampoline.
ÝÛ Wear sun-protective clothing, sunscreen and a soft hat.
ÝÛ Wear clothing free of drawstrings, hooks, loops, buckles, jewellery or anything that could get caught while using the trampoline net
and result in entanglement, strangulation or damage to the trampoline.
ÝÛ The user must not have any solid or sharp objects present on their person. Foreign objects may damage the safety net or jumping mat.
Behaviour Check
ÝÛ Avoid bringing any miscellaneous items onto the trampoline.
ÝÛ Do not allow pets on the trampoline at any time. Sharp claws may cause damage to the textile materials.
ÝÛ Do not jump onto or off of the trampoline.
ÝÛ Do not use trampoline without mature and knowledgeable supervision.
ÝÛ Misuse and abuse of the trampoline is dangerous and can cause serious injuries.
ÝÛ The trampoline frame is designed to support the user and the springs. Any weight added by persons sitting on the edge of the mat or
frame puts increased pressure on the entire spring system.
The owner and supervisors of the trampoline are responsible
to make all users aware of practices specified in the use
and safety instructions. Read all instructions before using
the trampoline. For further information or additional
instructional materials, contact VULY or your nearest
trampoline club.
SITE PLANNING
ÝÛ Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum
clearance of 8m / 26ft from ground level is recommended.
Provide clearance for wires, tree limbs, and other possible
hazards.
ÝÛ Lateral clearance is essential. Place the trampoline away
from walls, structures, fences, and other play areas.
ÝÛ Maintain a free space of minimum 1500mm on all sides
of the trampoline. This area should not include concrete,
bitumen, brick or other hard surfaces as these can cause
serious injuries.
ÝÛ Keep the trampoline on a level surface.
