5. Assembly and installation instructions

• Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum of 24ft (8m) from ground level is
recommended. Provide clearance of wires, tree limbs, and other possible hazards.
• Lateral clearance is essential. Place the trampoline away from walls, structures, fences and
other play areas. Maintain a clear space on all sides of the trampoline.
• Ensure the BERG trampoline is level after installation. A bubble level is recommended to help
qualify.
• Use the trampoline in a well-lit area. Artificial illumination may be required for shady areas.
• Secure the trampoline against unauthorized and unsupervised use.
• Remove any obstructions from beneath the trampoline.
• The owner and supervisors of the trampoline are responsible to make all users aware of
practices specified in the use instructions.
• Do not install the trampoline in extreme windy conditions. Wait untill wind subsides.
• Gloves are recommended to be worn while installing the BERG trampoline.
• The trampoline should be assembled by an adult in accordance with the assembly
instructions. BERG recommends reviewing final assembly prior to usage.
• For installation instructions, refer to page 26.
• For additional trampoline information, contact the manufacturer.
• Install accessories according to the installation manual / guide.
• Location: Find a suitable place for the installation of the trampoline ensuring there are no
surrounding obstacles. Verify soil condition and characteristics of designated location to
determine installation suitability.
• While digging the hole, soil should be firm to avoid collapsing due to erosion. If necessary,
strengthen the sides of the hole or make them smooth to prevent this.
• Should the soil hinder digging a hole, best to choose another location or consult a
professional excavation company to provide consultation.
• The dug hole should not accumulate water.
• Verify if a high ground-water level does not contribute to a collection of water in the hole. In
addition, verify there is adequate drainage to dispose rain water.
• As per the diagram in the installation manual, use the included tape measure (located in the
packaging) to measure and determine the correct diameter, depth and shape of the dug hole.
• Ensure the hole will be dug according to specifications and that the walls are shaped not too
steep.
• Deviation from hole specifications can result in unwanted wall collapse and trampoline
instability. Follow the diagrams as presented in the installation manual, step by step.
• The legs of the trampoline support the trampoline frame. Ensure the position of the legs are
equal in height and rest firmly on the ground. Anchor the legs with the supplied stakes.
• Inspect the hole underneath the trampoline periodically. (Minimum once a year) and if
required, take corrective measures. As specified in the installation manual, inspect the hole
for:
• Proper depth.
• Proper shape.
• Frame stability and uniformity.
• Unwanted objects.
• After a rainy period and prior to usage, inspect the trampoline hole. Ensure there is adequate
drainage to dispose of rain water.
