4) INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The supervisor must :
• Ensure that all trampoline users are sufficiently aware of the safety instructions (refer to : SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS CHAPTER) and guarantee correct installation conditions (refer to : INSTALLATION
CONDITIONS CHAPTER)
• Before use, check that the trampoline has been assembled correctly and ensure that it is checked before each
use (refer to : SERVICING / MAINTENANCE CHAPTER).
We cannot be held liable for any direct, indirect or special damage as a result of use of the trampoline. This
also applies also to financial losses due to theft, loss of goods, loss of revenue/services and profits, loss of
satisfaction with the product, installation costs, scrapping, damage caused by the weather and the environment
or any other type of damage.
5) LEARNING JUMPS
Users must always respect the following instructions :
• When using the trampoline for the first time, users must concentrate on learning how to control jumps rather
than on their height.
• When the jump is well controlled, users will land at the point from which they took off. This point must be the
centre of the trampoline.
• When learning, users must practice and improve the basic techniques and never attempt a more difficult
exercise until they have mastered all the exercises learned previously.
• As a safety measure, they must first learn how to decelerate and stop the bounce. Users must learn how to stop
the jump as soon as they start to lose control, by bending the knees when landing.
• Trampoline users must be in good physical condition. They must jump for a relatively short time and remember
to take a break. Jumping for too long increases the risk of injury.
• Beginners must wear suitable protective clothing such as T-shirts and long trousers to protect the elbow and
knees, until they have learned how to correctly control their jumps. Never wear shoes, which would result in
rapid wear of the trampoline.
• For more information or to obtain a suitable exercise program, contact a trampoline instructor.
STRAIGHT JUMP
1) Stand in the centre of the jumping mat, arms
by the sides, feet slightly apart. Look towards the
edge of the jumping mat.
2) Start to jump, using the arms in a circular
movement to gain momentum. The arms must
never be above the shoulders or behind the back.
3) At mid-height, point the toes downwards. On
landing on the jumping mat, the feet are flat and
slightly apart.

BASIC JUMPS
SEAT DROP
1) Sit in the centre of the jumping mat, legs
slightly apart, hands placed on the mat each side
of the body. Lean slightly forward.
2) Push with the hands to make little jumps while
seated.
3) Using the momentum built up, lean forward
and press with the hands to return to standing
position.
BACK DROP
1) Lie on the back on the jumping mat. Spread the
legs slightly and raise them to about 45 degrees
as shown on the illustration. Raise the arms at
the same angle and lift the head, eyes looking
towards the edge of the trampoline.
2) Carefully make small jumps, always looking
towards the edge of the trampoline. There should
be more weight on the shoulders than on the hips.
