ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS & INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• To ensure that the product is safe, heed the assembly and adjustment instructions, and the instructi- ons for use. Please read carefully and retain for future reference.

• Assembly instructions This product requires assembly, please be sure to carefully follow the steps set out in these instructi- ons (parts lists and tools supplied, assembly procedure etc.). IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENCLOSURE NETTING AND MAT

1. Maintenance of Trampoline Enclosure Net, Mat and Pad

Enclosure nets and padding are prone to wear and tear like tires on a car. Gradual deterioration of the material will occur; the speed of which will depend on the level of exposure to UV rays, airborne pollution and outdoor weather conditions such as rain and wind. The net and padding needs to be properly maintained and checked by following the Maintenance Schedule set out in these instructions. When the material shows any signs of weakness, you must stop using the trampoline immediately, properly store the trampoline and restrict access by users until a new replacement net or padding is properly installed.7 www.pragma-trading.com

Your trampoline enclosure netting is manufactured with UV resistant material. Despite this the net- ting is exposed to the outdoor elements including sunlight, wind, rain and wildlife. The net surroun- ding the trampoline must be checked prior to each use. This includes, but is not limited to inspecting the net for cracks, excess wear, brittleness, and stretching. Also inspect all connections and the entire enclosure for overall integrity. The net must be immediately replaced if it shows any signs of wear, damage, stretching, cracking, looseness, brittleness or other losses in integrity. The following Mainte- nance Schedule must be followed:

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE NET BE REPLACED ON A YEARLY BASIS UNDER NORMAL USE, EVEN IF IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE. How to Inspect the Trampoline Net for Proper Use Always check the enclosure netting for signs of UV damage, deterioration, brittleness, cracking, and tearing every time before using the trampoline and enclosure. Step 1 - Inspect the enclosure netting before EACH use for wear or tear by pinching and pulling a section of the netting between ngers and pulling downward. Please see diagram below.

If it produces any tear or cracking or ripping sound, then the net is unsafe and MUST be taken down immediately. STOP USING THE TRAMPOLINE ENCLOSURE IF YOU FIND ANY SIGNS OF WEAR OR TEARING ON THE NETTING. Step 2 - Walk around the whole perimeter of the trampoline to visually check for material deteriorati- on or other damage.

3. Maintenance Requirement for Trampoline Pad

Walk around the whole perimeter of the trampoline to visually check for material deterioration, tears, looseness, loss of elasticity or other damage in the pad. 1 to 3 Months Inspect the enclosure (net, net hanger, and straps) prior to every use. 3 to 6 Months Thorough inspection for UV da- mage and prior to every use for net, net hanger and straps. 6 to 12 Months Thorough inspection before every use on net, net hanger, straps, zippers, ties and strings. Replace after 12 months or ear- lier if necessary.8 www.pragma-trading.com MAINTENANCE It is necessary to carry out checks and maintenance of the main parts (frame, suspension system, bed, padding, and enclosure) at regular intervals, pointing out that if these checks are not carried out, the trampoline could become dangerous.

• Check all nuts and bolts for tightness and tighten when required.

• Check that the springs are intact and cannot come unhooked when jumping.

• Check that the circular protective pad covers the spring.

• Check the cord used to secure the net. Danger of suocation.

• Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges and replace when required

• Check that the net, trampoline mat and all protective elements are in good condition a capable of supporting the user`s weight. Sun, rain, snow and extreme temperatures may reduce lifespan of trampoline component parts. Replace them, if necessary.

• In strong wind conditions, outdoor trampolines shall be equipped with a device to avoid displacement due to wind (e.g. steel bars in the ground or loads like sand bag or water bags).

• In strong wind conditions, items catching wind like net and mat should be removed.

• In certain countries during winter period, the snow load and the very low temperature can damage the tram- poline. It is recommended to remove the snow and store the mat and the enclosure indoor.

• Check that mat, padding and enclosure are without defects. Sunlight, rain, snow and extreme temperatures reduce the strength of these parts over time.

• Make sure that the hook-and-loop fasterners are closed correctly during use of trampoline.

• Replace the net, trampoline at and protective elements every 1 year.

• Any defective parts must be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer`s instructions.

• Keep the maintenance instructions

• For details on how to contact the after-sales service team, please consult last page user`s guide.

The following lessons are suggested for you to learn basic steps and bounces. Before using the trampoline, you should read and understand all warnings. A complete discussion and demonstration of body mechanics and tram- poline guidelines should occur between the supervisor and student as well. The bounces are diagrammed on the following page. Lesson 1 A. Mounting and Dismounting – Demonstration of proper techniques B. The Basic Bounce – Demonstration and practice C. Braking (Check the Bounce – Demonstration) and practice. Learn to brake on command D. Hands and Knees Bounce – Demonstration and practice. Stress should be on four-point landing and alignment Lesson 2 A. Review and practice of techniques learned in Lesson 1 B. Knee Bounce – Demonstration and practice. Learn the basic down to knee and back up before trying half twist to left and right C. Seat Bounce – Demonstration and practice. Learn basic seat bounce then add a knee bounce, hands and knees repeat Lesson 3 A. Review and practice skills and techniques learned in previous lessons B. Front Drop – To avoid mat burns and teach the front bounce position, all students should be requested to as- sume the prone position (face down on the ground) while the instructor checks for faulty positions that could cause injury C. Start with a Hands and Knees bounce and then extend body into prone position and on the mat and return to feet D. Practice Routine – Hands and Knees Bounce, Front Bounce, return to feet, Seat Bounce, return to feet, Seat Bounce, return to feet Lesson 4 A. Review and practice skills and techniques learned in previous lessons B. Half – Turn

1. Start from front drop position and as you make contact with mat, push o with arms in either the right or

left direction and turn head and shoulders in same direction

2. During turn, be sure to keep back parallel to mat and head up

3. After completing turn, land in the Front Drop position

After completing this lesson, the student now has a basic foundation of trampoline bounces. Jumpers should be encouraged to try and develop their own routines with the emphasis on control and form. A game that can be played in order to encourage students to try developing routines is “BOUNCE”. In this game, players count o from 1 to X. Player one starts with a maneuver. Player two has to do Player one’s maneuver and add on another. Each player must do the routine properly in the correct sequence. The rst person to miss receives the letter “B”. This continues until someone spells out the word “BOUNCE”. The last remaining contestant is deemed the winner! Even when playing this game, it is important to perform your routines under control and not try dicult or highly skilled bounces that you have not yet mastered. A certied trampoline instructor should be contacted to further develop your trampoline skills.10 www.pragma-trading.com
