Usage Features:

• Single User Only: Designed for one person at a time to prevent serious injury.
• Supervision: Requires mature, knowledgeable adult supervision at all times, especially for young children.
• Controlled Bouncing: Emphasizes learning fundamental bounces and body positions before attempting advanced skills. Users should focus on low, controlled bounces and landing consistently in the center of the mat.
• Stop Bounce Technique: Users are instructed to learn the "stop bounce" as the first skill, achieved by flexing knees upon landing to quickly regain control and stop bouncing.
• Mounting and Dismounting: Users should climb on and off the trampoline by placing hands on the frame and stepping or rolling onto the mat, avoiding jumping directly on or off. The frame pad should not be stepped on.
• Arm Action: Proper arm movement (arms up when going up, circling down and behind hips when bouncing up) is crucial for control and lift.
• Bounce Variations: Introduces basic bounce variations such as tuck, pike, and straddle pike, to be performed at the top of the bounce.
• Basic Landing Positions: Details how to perform seat, hands and knees, and front drops, emphasizing proper body alignment and simultaneous contact with the bed. These should be practiced on the ground first, then stationary on the trampoline, and finally after "priming" the bed.
• Series of Drops: Explains how to sequence individual bounce variations and drops, including the "Front drop - Half twist – Front Drop (AKA: Turntable)."
• Environmental Conditions: Not to be used when wet or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Clothing Guidelines: Users should wear clothing that allows free body movement, without loose flapping parts, drawstrings, hooks, loops, buckles, jewelry, or belts that could cause entanglement, damage the mat, or injury. Shoes should be removed.
• Clearance: Requires a clear area around, above, and under the trampoline, free from objects, walls, structures, fences, and other play areas.

Maintenance Features:

• Pre-Use Inspection: Essential to inspect the trampoline and enclosure before each use. This includes checking that the frame padding is correctly and securely positioned and replacing any worn, defective, or missing parts.
• Component Deterioration: Components are susceptible to deterioration from use and environmental conditions (sunlight, rain, salt, heat). Regular inspection is critical to identify and address issues.
• Hazard Identification: The manual provides a detailed table of potential hazards for each component (Trampoline Frame, Trampoline Bed, Frame-Padding, Enclosure System), including bending/breakage, punctures, tears, sagging, sharp protrusions, and deterioration of fabric/stitching.
• Part Replacement: Only manufacturer-recommended parts should be used for replacement.
• Warranty:
  • Lifetime Warranty: Galvanized frame and poles.
  • 5 Years Warranty: Jump Mat (excluding print).
  • 2 Years Warranty: Safety Pads (excluding print).
  • 1 Year Warranty: All other parts (e.g., Enclosure Net, Springs).
  • Exclusions: Warranty does not cover normal wear and tear (e.g., rusting, UV deterioration, spring stretch, holes >5mm), weather damage, improper installation, insufficient care/maintenance, inappropriate use (e.g., high-level acrobatics, non-domestic use), personal injury, or losses due to negligence/accidents.
  • Warranty Claims: Consumers must discontinue use of faulty products and submit an online Warranty Claim with proof of purchase, batch number, and clear photographic evidence. Replacements parts are offered for successful claims, not refunds (refunds are handled by authorized retailers).
• Missing Parts: Consumers should contact customer service immediately if any parts are missing and should not attempt to use an incomplete product.
