6.1 Assembly

• Do not install the trampoline in extreme windy conditions. Wait until wind subsides.
• Gloves are recommended to be worn while installing the BERG trampoline.
• Ensure the BERG trampoline is level after installation. A bubble level is recommended to help
qualify.
• The trampoline should be assembled by an adult in accordance to the assembly instructions.
BERG recommends reviewing final assembly prior to usage.
• Assembling of the trampoline comprises of fasteners and fittings with self-locking nuts.
These self-locking nuts are for single use only. When disassembling and reassembling, the
self-locking nuts must be replaced.
• 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.

Examples of suitable shock-absorbing materials can be found in the EN1176-1:2017
standard, table 4; a falling height of 1,200 mm should be allowed for here.
• 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 contain 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.

packaging) to measure and determine the correct diameter, depth and shape of the dug hole.
