Function Description
The AGame 16' Trampoline with Basketball Goal is designed for recreational use, providing a platform for jumping and a basketball hoop for added activity. It is intended for outdoor use and is suitable for multiple users, though strict adherence to safety guidelines is crucial. The trampoline features a circular jump mat, an enclosure net for safety, and a frame pad to cover the springs and frame. The integrated basketball goal adds an interactive element to the trampoline experience.
Important Technical Specifications
The trampoline has a 16-foot diameter. The maximum weight capacity for a single user is 275 lbs (124 kg), and the maximum total weight capacity for multiple users is 375 lbs (170 kg). It includes 96 springs for the jump mat. The frame is constructed from metal, and the enclosure poles are designed to be inserted into sockets on the main frame. The basketball goal assembly includes a backboard, rim with net, and connecting parts.
Usage Features
The trampoline is designed for active play and exercise. Key usage features and safety considerations include:
- Supervision: Constant, knowledgeable adult supervision is required.
- Age Restriction: Not recommended for children under 6 years of age.
- Clearance: A minimum of 24 feet of overhead clearance and adequate lateral clearance (free of obstacles like fences, trees, and other play areas) are required.
- Landing: Users should always land in the middle of the mat and avoid landing on their head or neck, as this can cause serious injury, paralysis, or death.
- Single User: Only one person should be on the trampoline at a time to prevent collisions and serious injuries.
- Controlled Bouncing: Users should learn controlled bouncing and avoid extreme bounces or stunts without proper training and supervision.
- Footwear: Barefoot use is recommended; street shoes or tennis shoes should not be worn on the jump mat.
- Objects: No sharp objects or foreign materials should be brought onto the trampoline.
- Weather Conditions: The trampoline should not be used in windy, wet, or icy conditions. Wind can cause the trampoline to lift or move, and wet surfaces can be slippery.
- Enclosure Net: The enclosure net is a safety feature to prevent users from falling off the trampoline, but it is not a substitute for proper technique or supervision. Users should not intentionally jump into the enclosure net.
- Basketball Goal: The integrated basketball goal provides an additional activity. Users should not hang on the rim or net, as this can damage the goal and potentially cause injury.
- Assembly: The manual provides detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions, including illustrations for each step. Tools required for assembly include a spring tool and a screwdriver. The assembly process involves connecting frame pieces, attaching the jump mat and enclosure net, installing springs, and assembling the basketball goal.
- Warning Labels: The jump mat includes a warning label on top and an ID label on the back, which should be visible and maintained.
Maintenance Features
Regular care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and safety of the trampoline.
- Regular Inspection: Before each use, inspect the trampoline for damaged, missing, or improperly positioned parts. This includes checking the frame, springs, jump mat, frame pad, enclosure net, and foam sleeves.
- Damaged Parts: Do not use the trampoline if any parts are damaged, worn, or missing. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
- Frame Maintenance: Check the frame for deterioration, stretching, or fabric damage. Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened.
- Springs: Inspect springs for breakage, stretching, or missing springs.
- Jump Mat: Check the jump mat for tears, holes, or excessive wear.
- Frame Pad: Ensure the frame pad is securely in place and covers all springs and frame parts.
- Enclosure Net: Inspect the enclosure net for tears, holes, or loose connections. Ensure the zipper is functional and secure.
- Foam Sleeves: Check the foam sleeves on the enclosure poles for damage or deterioration.
- Cleaning: Clean the trampoline regularly to remove dirt and debris.
- Weather Protection: The trampoline and enclosure are susceptible to winds. Secure the trampoline enclosure to prevent wind damage, which is not covered under warranty. During winter months, soft materials can be damaged; it is recommended to disassemble and properly store the trampoline during this season.
- Rust Prevention: The metal frame parts are susceptible to rust. Regular inspection and appropriate rust prevention measures (e.g., cleaning and drying) can help extend the life of the product.
- Disassembly and Storage: For long periods of non-use or during harsh weather conditions, the trampoline should be disassembled and stored in a dry, safe location. Instructions for disassembling the frame and enclosure poles are provided in the manual.
