Frame and springs:
When bouncing on the trampoline keep to the center of the bounce mat to reduce the risk to be injured by landing on the
frame or the springs. The springs and the frame must always be completely covered by the protection mat. Avoid stepping on
the protection mat as it is not designed to be stepped on.
Loss of control:
Losing control of the bounce can result in injuries by an improper landing on the bounce mat, the frame or the springs or by
falling off the trampoline. A controlled bounce is
characterized by the fact the person lands on the same place as he or she had jumped off. Learn the fundamental jumping
techniques thoroughly before trying difficult jumps. The risk
effecting a bounce which is beyond the persons bouncing ability. Control can be regained by pulling the knees completely
towards the body while landing.
Drugs and alcohol:
The risk of injury is increased under the influence of drugs and alcohol, as these substances will impair the reaction time, the
judgment, the stereoscopic vision, the overall coordination, and the motor function of a person.
Foreign objects:
Do not use the trampoline if there are pets, other persons or objects beneath the trampoline. Do not hold any objects while
jumping on the trampoline and do not place any objects on the trampoline while a person is jumping. Remove all branches,
cables etc. Which are above the trampoline.
Poor maintenance:
A poor maintenance of the trampoline raises the risk of injury. Check the trampoline for torn or worn bounce mats and
protection mats, a bent frame or missing parts, lose or broken
springs and the overall stability of the trampoline. Check the trampoline before each use and replace all missing parts
immediately. The trampoline must not be used before it has been completely repaired.
Poor weather conditions:
Only use the trampoline in good weather conditions. A wet bouncing mat is slippery. The person jumping can lose control
when jumping with strong winds.
Unlimited access to the trampoline:
Please store the ladder at a secure place when the trampoline is out of use to prevent children from an unsupervised access to
the trampoline.
Accident prevention:
The user's role with accident prevention:
Basic knowledge of the trampoline is indispensable for security. All users of the trampoline must have been familiarized with
the basic bounce and landing techniques before passing over to more sophisticated bounces. The user effects a controlled
bounce when he jumps off and lands at the same place. For further details see paragraph "Basic bouncing techniques". For
further information please contact a skilled trampoline coach.
The supervisor's role:
The supervising person must know all safety instructions and is responsible for their observance. If no appropriate supervision
is possible the trampoline must be dismantled and to be stored at a secure place. It must be covered by a tarpaulin which is
secured by a chain and a lock. The supervising person must make sure that the users observe the safety instructions, and the
information sign is placed on the trampoline.

Important instruction for use
The trampoline must only be used supervised, regardless of the bouncing abilities and the age of the user.
The person jumping has to master all basic bouncing techniques (see paragraph "basic bouncing techniques^)-
The emphasis must be put on a controlled bouncing. The person jumping must not try to
outdo another person.
Do not bounce too long. Fatigue can increase the risk of injury.
The user should wear appropriate clothing such as T-shirts, trunks and trainers with soft soles or jump barefoot.
We recommend that beginners wear long trunks and tops with long sleeves to prevent abrasions.
Please refer to the paragraph "ascending and descending'' in paragraph "accident prevention^. Do not exert difficult bounces
without being supervised by a skilled trampoline coach. Begin with easy bounces putting an emphasis on the bouncing
technique rather than
on the bouncing height. Never jump on the trampoline alone and unattended. See paragraph "basic bouncing techniques"

Assembly the trampoline
A clearance space of at least 8m is necessary above the trampoline. An appropriated clearance must be kept between the
trampoline and possible sources of danger, such as electric cables, tree branches, playing devices, swimming pools and fences.
