OVERVIEW OF TRAMPOLINE AND ENCLOSURE COMBINATION USE The first practice sessions of your new Trampoline and Enclosure Combination use should focus on learning fundamental body positions and practicing the eight basic jumps (see pages 8-9). During this learning period, jumpers should practice these basic techniques and perfect them. Braking, or checking the jump, should be taught first and stressed as a safety measure. Jumpers should break their jump whenever they start to lose their balance or control.
INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM AND MODEL LESSONS The following lessons are examples of an instructional program. They should follow a complete discussion and demonstration of body mechanics between the supervisor and the student(s). See pages 8 and 9 for descriptions of basic jumping skills. Lesson 1 1. Mounting and dismounting (entering and exiting the Enclosure)—Demonstration and practice of proper techniques. 2. Fundamental jump—Demonstration and practice. 3.

Start bouncing from a standing position, keeping your eyes on the frame pad. 2. Land on the mat on your hands and knees. 3.
Seat Drop 1. Land in a sitting position with your legs parallel to the mat. 2. Place your hands on the mat beside your hips. 3. Push with your hands to return to an erect position. Half Turntable 1. Start from the front drop position and push to the left or right with your arms to begin turning your body in the opposite direction. 2. Turn your head and shoulders toward the direction that your body is turning. 4. Keep your back parallel to the mat and your head up. 5.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS WARNINGS Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum of 24 ft from ground level is recommended. Provide clearance for wires, tree limbs, and other possible hazards. Lateral clearance is essential. Place the trampoline and trampoline enclosure away from walls, structures, fences, and other play areas. Maintain a clear space on all sides of the trampoline and trampoline enclosure. Place the trampoline and trampoline enclosure on a level surface before use.
Frame Assembly Read and understand all assembly instructions before beginning the assembly process. Your trampoline frame is assembled using 6 main parts, a left (A) and a right (D) corner tube, a long (F) and a short (C) straight tube and a bent (E) and a straight (B) T-Bracket. Step 1- Assemble your frame on the ground as outlined above. Make sure that all the spring holes face upwards. Note: Part F has a slight curve. Be sure that it is oriented so that it curves outwards.
Step 2- Attach 2 Leg tubes (G) to a Leg Brace (H) and slide one into the round receptor on the underside of a T-Bracket (B) and the other into the receptor on a T-Bracket (E). Repeat this process for all 4 legs. Note: You may need to pull outward on the Legs (G) as you insert them into the receptor. This step was intentionally designed to keep your Trampoline tightly assembled.
Enclosure Pole Assembly Read and understand all assembly instructions before beginning the assembly process. Your Trampoline’s Enclosure Poles come in two sections, an upper (curved) and a lower (straight) section. Step 1 – Connect one Upper Pole section and one Lower Pole section together, making sure to match the screw holes in the two sections. See figure right. Step 2 – Secure the Posts with a Screw in the center hole and slide the Foam Sleeves together to cover the screw.
Mat and Enclosure Assembly Read and understand all assembly instructions before beginning the assembly process. This Trampoline Should not be installed without the included Enclosure. Step 1 – Unfold and lay the Mat (Jumping Surface) on the ground inside the Trampoline Frame. Make sure the Warning Labels are facing up. Step 2 – Hook the Mat to the Frame by attaching one Spring in each corner of the frame. (See illustration below.
Step 4 – Locate the Bungee Straps sewn to the top edge of the Enclosure and connect all Bungee Loops with Bolts to your Enclosure Net by inserting the Bolt up through the Net Loop and bringing it down through the resulting Loop in the Bungee Cord, as shown in the illustrations below. Step 5 – Insert the Bungee Cord Bolt through the hole near the top of the Enclosure Post and secure it with the corresponding Nut. Adequately tighten the Nut with a wrench.
Step 7 – Your Enclosure should now be hanging loosely from the Enclosure Poles, with the Zippered Opening centered between two Enclosure Poles on the short side of the trampoline. Locate red threads sewn at four locations along the lower edge of the enclosure. These threads mark the corners of your trampoline. Attach the 2 springs on both sides of each red thread. To attach a spring, feed the short end of a Spring through the slit in band on the enclosure and attach to the VRing on the mat.
Step 8 – Work your way around the Trampoline attaching a Spring on both sides of each Enclosure Pole. Remember to slide the end of the spring through the enclosure slot before attaching it to the V-Ring on the Mat As the Enclosure can bunch up, you will need to count the VRings on the Mat, and the Spring Slots in the Enclosure and the Frame, to ensure that the Enclosure is evenly stretched, and that you are attaching the Spring in the correct location.
Safety Pad Assembly Read and understand all assembly instructions before beginning the assembly process. Step 1 – Lift the Enclosure Poles out of the T-Bracket slots and lean them forward so they are resting on the Mat. Step 2 – Unfold the Safety Pad so it is resting on the Frame and Springs. Step 3 – Rotate the Pad so that the logo sits approximately in front of the zipper and the holes in the Pad align with the Enclosure Pole slots on the T-Brackets.
Step 4 –Locate the Spring Loops on the underside of the Pad. Find the Spring nearest to the Spring Loop and unhook it from the Frame. Insert the Spring through the Spring Loop, and reattach it to the Frame. Repeat this step until all Spring Loops have been attached. Step 5 – Lift the Enclosure Poles and insert them through the hole in the Pad and into the TBracket slot. Step 6 – Secure the Enclosure Poles to the Frame by attaching the included bolts through the T-Brackets.
WARNING LABEL PLACEMENTS Note: These labels are not shown at their actual size. These labels have been attached to the Trampoline Enclosure in the indicated locations. Please verify that none of these labels are missing or illegible. If so, please contact us and request free a replacement. Your Trampoline and Enclosure Combination is now fully assembled.
