Kangaroo Hoppers - How to Inspect the Trampoline for Safe Use

1. Inspection on Trampoline
Inspect the trampoline before each use and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts. The following
conditions could represent potential hazards:
• Missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached frame padding.
• Puncture, frays, tears, or holes worn in the bed or frame padding.
• Deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the bed or frame padding.
• Ruptured springs.
• A bent or broken frame.
• A sagging bed.
• Sharp protrusions on the frame or suspension system.
2. Inspection on Safety Enclosure
Inspect the trampoline enclosure before each use and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
The following conditions could represent potential hazards:
• Missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached barrier or enclosure support system (frame)
padding and pole caps.
• Puncture, frays, tears, or holes worn in the barrier or support system (frame) padding.
• Deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the barrier or support system (frame) padding.
• Bent or broken support system (frame).
• A sagging barrier.
• Sharp protrusions on the support system (frame) or suspension system.
3. Inspection on Trampoline Mat
Periodically inspect the trampoline for worn out or rotten stitching around the trampoline mat (bed).
Stitching may fail due to excessive use or exposure to extreme weather. In most cases, evidence of
deterioration will make itself known in the form of:
• Broken stitching around the edge of the mat.
• Rotten or frayed fabric at the v-ring straps.

CAUTION: If any deterioration is found, all bouncing must cease and the trampoline must be disassembled
or otherwise protected against use until the condition is remedied. The mat should be replaced with the
appropriate Kangaroo Hoppers part. Remember, the only thing between the jumper and the ground is the
mat. If a deteriorated mat is not inspected properly, further jumping could cause the mat to pull away from
the straps in a large area and the jumper may land on the ground, which could cause serious injury.
