5. Assembly and maintenance instructions
5.1 Installation and dismantling
• Do not install the trampoline during windy weather, but wait until the wind has abated.
• We recommend wearing work gloves when installing the products.
• Ensure that the BERG Trampoline is installed on level ground. Use a spirit level to check this.
• The trampoline may have fixings with self-locking nuts. These self-locking nuts are for single use only and must
be replaced when dismantling and reinstalling the trampoline.
• See page 3 and onwards for instructions on how to install the product.
• Install accessories according to the installation manual /guide.
• Should the trampoline require movement to another current location (short distance), disassemble the anchors (if
any) first prior to relocation. It is recommended the trampoline be li ed via the top rails by at least 4 adults.
• Should the trampoline be removed and placed in an alternative area not close to original location, dissasemble
and place in original packaging. Re-assemble in accordance to the assembly and installation instructions.
5.2 Maintenance instructions
• Inspect the BERG Trampoline before each use according to the installation instructions and replace defective,
worn or missing parts. Ignoring these instructions and failing to carry out maintenance could lead to dangerous
situations and unnecessary risks for the user. To order original BERG Trampoline parts and accessories, please
refer to your dealer or visit www.bergtoys.com.
• Check the condition of the frame parts (broken welds, bent frame or sharp and protruding parts) and replace
them if necessary.
• Check the condition of the springs (broken or excessive stretching) and the attachment of the springs to the
frame and jumping mat. The springs and the suspension system are subject to wear and tear; replace worn
parts in time.
• Check that the bolt connections are tight and retighten them if necessary. Check that the connections (pressure
pins) are secure and check that they do not come loose when trampolining.
• Check the condition of the jumping mat (damage, wrong tension, loose stitching or sagging of the mat). The
jumping mat will wear out through use and exposure to sunlight (UV radiation). Replace the jumping mat in time
when the condition of the mat starts to deteriorate.
• Check the condition of the protective edge and its attachment to the frame. Replace a defective protective edge.
• Fertilisers (liquid fertiliser or fertiliser granules, etc) must not be used within a 2-metre radius of a BERG
Trampoline. The use of such products can be harmful to the trampoline materials.
• The jumping mat and protective edge are easily cleaned with a cloth and some cold or lukewarm water. Do not
use solvents, detergent, soap powder or hot water under any circumstances.
• Repairs must be carried out by a professional. Please consult your BERG dealer.
6. Regular Trampoline + Safety Net
6.1 Additional warnings:
• The BERG trampoline is not recommended for use by children under 6 years of age.
• This trampoline is not intended to be dug into the ground and used as an in-ground configuration.
• Installing the BERG trampoline on concrete, asphalt or any other hard surface or in proximity of other playground
installations (pools, swings, slide sets or any other play structures) is prohibited.
• See Chapter 9 for additional warnings about the safety net.
6.2 Additional assembly and maintenance instructions:
• Strong winds and gusts can displace the trampoline. We recommend anchoring the trampoline with stakes or
sandbags, or removing the jumping mat prior to windy weather.
• In some countries, the weight of the snow in winter and the very low temperatures can damage the trampoline.
BERG recommends storing the jumping mat and the safety net indoors in winter.
• Ensure a secure and safe environment when the trampoline is not in use. Protect it against unauthorized use.
When a trampoline ladder is used, remove when le unattended. This to ensure no access for children without
supervision.
• If the trampoline is not used for short periods of time and to avoid jump mat debris caused by fallen leaves and
twigs, BERG recommends usage of a BERG Weather Cover. When the trampoline is not used for a longer period
of time (e.g. during the winter) BERG recommends storing the trampoline, especially the protective padding, in a
dry area to support product longevity.
