STEP 1: Assemble support poles

Create one support pole assembly by inserting small end of lower support pole (A2) into large end of one upper support pole (A) and snap button into hole.

STEP 2: Install foam and foam sleeves

Slide a long pole cushion (C) onto upper support pole, followed by a short pole cushion (B). Slide foam sleeve (D) over both foam pieces starting at the top of pole.

STEP 3: Install ball end cap

Install ball end cap (E) over top of pole. Rotate so that the holes are aligned. Push eyebolt (H1) though the eyebolt cap (H2), then insert assembly into the small hole on the ball end cap (E). Hand tighten hex nut with nylon insert (H3) onto end.

When in place, the opening on the eyebolt should face upward toward the top of the pole. The eyebolt assembly should be loose enough for the upper strap of the safety net to be hung on the eyebolt hook (see Step

6).

Slip foam sleeve and foam up into skirt of ball end cap.

Repeat Steps 1-3 for each support pole assembly to be attached to the legs of the trampoline.

IMPORTANT: One pole has a warning label at the bottom of the pole.

The label should be visible when the eyebolt hook faces outward.

IMPORTANT: These installation instructions are oriented for trampolines with 4 sets of U-legs. Please visit the “Assembly Tips” section at www.jumpsport.com for trampolines with other types of leg configurations.

STEP 6: Preparing the net

Find an area (approximately 50 ft) to straighten out the net. With one person at each end, pull and shake net so that the meshes are evenly distributed along straps.

♦

One end of the support strap has loops, as this will be the end that is hung first.

♦

The WIDER support strap will be the top of the net.

Step 5

Measure the net:

The net should measure 46 feet from edge to edge of net (see illustration). If the net measures less than 46 feet, untie the knots in the support straps at the end of the strap without loops. Stretch net to 46 feet, and re-tie the support straps so that the net will

NOT slide along the support straps.

Pull the netting to pole #2. Lift the entire

net assembly over the pole so the net is on the outside of the pole. With tension on the net, hook the strap and a mesh of net into eyebolt hook, so it will maintain its position.

Continue to hang net on OUTSIDE of remaining poles

Repeat, hanging the net on the OUTSIDE of the remaining poles including pole #1.

The net must be pulled tight at each pole and then hung. It will not reach the bed of the trampoline in many areas during the hanging process, if hung correctly.

After hanging the net on the outside of pole #1, pull the end of the net toward pole

#2. Stretch the strap to pole #2, and form a loop by installing slide buckle (H). Slip loop over ball end cap of pole #2, so it rests in hook of eyebolt.

STEP 9: Secure lower support strap at each pole with short bungee cord

Work the net down each pole. From the outside of the trampoline, hook net and lower support strap around the lower edge of each pole cushion.

At each pole, wrap a short bungee cord (K) around the lower support strap. Wrap the ends of the bungee cord around leg of trampoline and hook loops securely over

lower U-bolt clamp. Repeat at the remaining poles.

STEP 10: Tighten eyebolt assemblies and install acorn nuts

Make sure that the upper strap and one mesh net are seated into the eyebolt hook, and that the eyebolt hook is facing upward.

Tighten hex nut with nylon insert (H3) using socket or crescent wrench so that the eyebolt cap closes the hook of the eyebolt, locking the net into place. Install steel acorn nut

(H8) onto the end of eyebolt. Do not overtighten acorn nut.

STEP 12: Connect lower support strap to bed of trampoline at overlapping panels

In the panel with the overlapping net, wrap a pad strap through the lower support strap midway between the end of the inside panel and pole 2, and tie to

V ring (as outlined above). Repeat this process with a pad strap around the lower support strap midway between the end of the of the outside panel, and the pole 1.

STEP 13: Hang warning placard from net near entrance

Attach warning placard (L) to the outside of the net where it will be visible from the entrance, using cable tie (M).

Note: The upper and lower support straps may need periodic tightening.

Check buckles and straps regularly.

If the net sags due to extended use, we recommend repeating steps 7 through

11 (7 through 14 if model 380 or 480 – see next page), so that net is tight again.

In the panel with overlapping net, wrap a pad strap around the middle of the inner panel.

Repeat for outside panel.

USE OF YOUR PRODUCT

PRECAUTIONS

The majority of users of trampolines are children, and therefore need close supervision and rules to follow while playing on the device. These rules must be enforced by whomever is responsible for the care of the children. It is strongly recommended that the buyer of this product go over the rules and recommendations in the packet of information supplied, including those in this manual. It is also strongly recommended that these rules and recommendations be supplemented with those of your own: (e.g., the time that jumping is allowed, when neighbors can visit, etc.), and that these rules and recommendations be reviewed with anyone who is going to jump on the trampoline. If it is possible, these rules should be reviewed with the parents or guardians of any visitors who may be jumping on the trampoline.

Before you Jump, Read this:

Please read the warnings on the next page with the following in mind:

⇒

The trampoline enclosure is not designed to prevent injuries associated with unsafe use of the trampoline, or associated with more advanced skills like flips, somersaults, or acrobatic maneuvers.Do not attempt any of these activities.

⇒

Each user should become familiar with the wanings, precautionary statements and usage instructions before jumping.

⇒

The trampoline enclosure does not replace the need for supervision by a responsible, knowledgeable adult.

⇒

⇒

Allow only one user to use the entrance at one time.

When exiting do not jump off the edge of the trampoline. Always sit on the edge, then carefully lower your body onto the ground.

⇒

Do not attach other apparatus to the trampoline enclosure unless it is a JumpSport-approved device.

Any additional JumpSport Accessory that you may attach to the trampoline enclosure must be attached and used only in accordance with the instructions for such accessory.

It is essential that trampoline users follow a carefully planned safety program so that the trampoline can be fully enjoyed. Most accidents can be classified into the following headings:

LANDING ON SPRINGS OR FRAME

The risk of falling on, landing between the springs, or hitting the frame, can be reduced through: proper mounting and dismounting of the trampoline; emphasizing jumping at the center of the bed without traveling toward the sides; and by the installing quality frame pads. Simple frame pads or spring covers on their own, do not give adequate protection.

BOUNCING OUT OF CONTROL

This problem can be controlled, if not completely eliminated, through proper instruction and mastering of

“STOP BOUNCE (see page 19 for instructions). Keep other objects away from the trampoline. It is a dangerous practice to jump from the trampoline enclosure to the floor or ground. Do not jump from the trampoline into a swimming pool, a swing, or any other object. Do not install trampoline on concrete, asphalt or hard compacted surfaces.

LANDING INCORRECTLY ON THE BED

Landing incorrectly on the bed creates great risk of a serious injury with most of these resulting from attempting somersaults. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT SOMERSAULT PROCEDURES NOT

BE PRACTICED. Serious injury or death may occur.

WARNINGS -POINTS OF SAFETY

Read the following precautions.

1. Do NOT attempt or allow somersaults on the trampoline. Landing on your head or neck can cause serious injury, paralysis, or death, even when landing in the middle of the bed.

12. Properly secure the trampoline when not in use. Protect it against unauthorized use. If a trampoline ladder is used, the supervisor should remove it from the trampoline when leaving the area to prevent unsupervised access by children under 6 years of age.

2. Do NOT allow more than one person on the trampoline (inside the trampoline enclosure) at a time. Use by more than one person at the same time can result in serious injuries.

3. Use trampoline and trampoline enclosure only with mature, knowledgeable supervision. 14. Do not use the trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

4. Trampolines over 20 in. (51 cm) tall

(including this trampoline) are NOT recommended for use by children under 6 years of age.

13. Keep objects away which could interfere with the performer. Maintain a clear area around the trampoline.

15. For additional information concerning the trampoline, contact the manufacturer.

16. For information concerning skill training, contact a certified trampoline instructor. 5. Inspect the trampoline and trampoline enclosure before each use. Make sure the trampoline frame padding, barrier (netting), and the enclosure support (frame) is correctly and securely positioned. Replace any worn, defective or missing parts.

6. Climb on and off the trampoline. It is dangerous to jump onto the trampoline when mounting. Do NOT use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects.

7. Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline bed. Learn this skill before attempting others.

17. Bounce only when the surface of the bed is dry. Wind or air movement should be calm to gentle. The trampoline must not be used in gusty or severe winds.

18. Do not attempt to jump over the barrier

(netting). Doing so may result in severe injury or death.

19. Do not attempt to crawl under the barrier

(netting). Severe injury or strangulation may result.

20. Do not intentionally rebound off the barrier

(netting), or the enclosure support (frame).

21. Do not hang from, kick, cut or climb on the barrier (netting).

8. Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. A variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic fundamentals in various series and combinations, performing one fundamental after another, with or without feet bounces between them.

22. Wear clothing free of drawstrings, hooks, loops or anything that could get caught in the barrier (netting). Remove all jewelry.

23. Do not attach anything to the barrier (netting) that is not a manufacturer-approved accessory or part of the enclosure system.

9. Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and repeatedly land in the center of the trampoline. Control is more important than height.

24. Enter and exit the enclosure only at the enclosure door or barrier (netting) opening designated for that purpose.

10. Focus your eyes on the perimeter of the trampoline. This will help control your bounce.

11. Avoid bouncing when tired. Keep turns short.

25. Read all instructions before using the trampoline and trampoline enclosure.

Warnings and instructions for the care, maintenance and use of this trampoline and trampoline enclosure are included to promote safe, enjoyable use of this equipment.

BASIC SKILLS

BOUNCING

The most important thing about bouncing is that it should be done with control in the center of the bed. The basic bounce should always begin low. High, reckless bouncing should never be allowed.

The Stop Bounce

This technique allows the jumper to gain control by stopping quickly. It is done by keeping the feet in contact with the bed, and absorbing the rebound of the trampoline

with the knees and waist. This skill should be learned right away and should be employed whenever you feel out of balance, or land away from the center area.

To learn the stop bounce:

(1) Stand in center of the bed with your feet about hipwidth apart.

(2) Attempt about three easy bounces, keep them low and

controlled.

(3) Focus your eyes towards the perimeter of the trampoline while bouncing in order to keep your balance.

(4) Stop the bounce by bending at your knees and hips on contact with the bed.

BOUNCE VARIATIONS

The following figures show three variations, which should be assumed at the top of the bounce, before resuming the normal landing position on the feet.

Pike

Tuck

ARM ACTION

Arms are very important for proper control and lift.

Whenever you go up, your arms go up. They go up to a set position about shoulder height and shoulder width.

They should remain in this balanced position until you start down. Then they circle down and slightly behind the hips, ready to lift again as you bounce up.

Straddle Pike

21

Practice these simple variations and concentrate on perfect form. Make sure that the toes are pointed and fingers are straight. Also make sure that you are taking off and landing in the same spot on the center of the bed.

These simple variations to the basic bounce can be a lot of fun, and are very important for gaining experience in coordinated movement.

BASIC LANDING POSITIONS

Positions for all drops (seat, hands and knees, front, and back) should first be performed on the ground, then in a stationary position on the trampoline bed.

Once the position is correctly executed, the drop can be performed after “priming” the trampoline bed. Priming is done by bending the knees and pushing down repeatedly on the trampoline bed, thereby setting the bed in motion.

The feet stay in contact with the bed during the entire priming motion.

The Seat Drop

(1) From the standing position, prime the bed several times. of your hands on landing. Push to rebound to your feet.

(2) Pick up your feet at the top of the last bounce, and sit down. You should land so that your body is in a sitting position with your legs straight out in front of you and your toes pointed. Hands should be on the bed next to your hips. Fingers should be together and pointed toward the toes.

(3) Push on the bed with your hands to rebound up to your feet.

The Front Drop

Contact with the trampoline bed should simultaneously take place with your hands, elbows, chest, stomach, and hips. Knees should be bent.

Hands should be placed close together with palms in contact with the bed forming a triangle. Eyes should be focus on triangle or slightly in front of your fingers.

STEP 1:

(1) Start from the hands and knees drop position.

(2) As you rebound from the hands and knees, stretch so that you land on your stomach. From this position, rebound to your hands and knees.

STEP 2:

(1) Start from a standing position with knees bent so that your upper body is low and close to the trampoline bed.

(2) Prime the bed several times.

(3) Lift hips gently upward and backward.

(4) Land in contact with the bed as described in Step 1.

The Hands and

Knees Drop

To do this drop properly, there should be just as much weight on the hands as on the knees. The back should be about parallel to the bed. The knees and hands should land simultaneously, with the middle of the body landing in the center of the trampoline. The hands should be directly under the shoulders. The knees should be directly under the hips. The toes should be pointed.

(1) Get down on your hands and knees on the bed. Make sure you have weight on both your hands and your knees. Don’t sit on your heels.

(2) Remain in this position and try to bounce. Don’t rock back and forth between the hands and knees, but develop an even landing on all four points.

(3) From the standing position, prime the bed several times. Lift upward with the hips, reach forward with the hands, and land on all fours. Look slightly in front

(5) Push with the hands to return to the feet.

STEP 3: (See next page)

(1) Start from a straight standing position.

(2) Prime the bed several times.

Perform skill as in Step 2.

Important: You must come down level. If the landing is made first on the chest and arms, they will rebound before the knees hit which will result in a straining action on the back. If this type of landing is made with a traveling, diving approach there is a good chance that the elbows may become skinned. If the landing is made so that the knees and hips hit first, then they will rebound and the shoulders and face will land heavy.

Series of drops

Once you have mastered the individual bounce variations and drops, perform them in sequence. For example:

Seat Drop – Hands and Knees Drop – Front Drop, or

Seat Drop – Front Drop – Hands and Knees Drop – Seat

Drop.

BEGINNING TWISTING

The following figures will show you a few of the many possible twisting variations of the basic landing positions.

Seat Drop – Half Twist – Seat Drop

(AKA: Swivel Hips)

STEP 1:

(1) Perform a seat drop.

(2) Push down on the bed with the hands and come to a stand with the arms stretched overhead.

STEP 2:

(1) Perform the movement in Step 1. As you rebound up to your feet, move one shoulder in the direction you want to twist.

(2) Finish standing with arms stretched overhead, facing the opposite direction (180 degree twist completed).

STEP 3:

(1) Perform as in Step 2. Just before contacting feet with the trampoline bed, lift legs to land in a sitting position (180 degree twist completed).

Front Drop – Half Twist – Front Drop

(AKA: Turntable)

STEP 1:

(1) Begin in a hands and knees position, with hands forming a triangle, like in a front drop.

(2) Prime the bed in this position.

(3) Push backward with hands and extend body to land in the Front Drop position.

(4) Repeat several times in succession: Hands and Knees

Drop – Front Drop – Hands and Knees Drop –etc.

STEP 2:

(1) Perform the movement as in Step 1. However, do it at twice the speed so as to bring the knees inward, under the hips and out again without touching the knees on the bed.

STEP 3:

(1) Perform the movement as in Step 2. Push sideways on the trampoline bed so that the body rotates like the hands of a clock.

STEP 4:

(1) From a standing position, prime the bed, then perform a front drop. Push sideways, as in Step 3, and complete a 180 degree turn, finishing in a front drop facing the opposite position.

Seat Drop – Full Twist – Seat Drop

ADDITIONAL TWISTING

You can have hours and hours of fun and challenging bouncing by combining twist with each of the basic landing positions (Drops). You can twist:

After the landing position.

Example: Seat drop – 1/2 twist – feet

You can add more twists. Always remember to practice and perfect the smaller twists before moving on to larger twists.

You can also perform a series of twists.

Example: Swivel Hips Perform several in a row, all twisting in one direction, or alternating directions. Turntable – same as swivel hips.

If you find that you love the trampoline, and have mastered the moves discussed in these instructions, you are encouraged to seek additional training from a CERTI-

FIED TRAMPOLINE INSTRUCTOR.
