EN INSTRUCTIONS ON ASSEMBLY AND USE
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Use a dry or damp cloth only to clean the product; do not use special
cleaning agents! Check the product for damage or traces of wear and tear
before and after each use. Do not make any structural changes. For your
own safety, please use original spare parts only. These can be sourced
from HUDORA. If parts become damaged or if sharp edges or corners
should develop, the product may not be used any more. If in any doubt,
please contact our service team (http://www.hudora.de/). Store the prod-
uct in a safe place where it is protected from the elements, cannot be
damaged, and cannot injure anyone.
• Check that jumping mat, frame padding and safety net are without de-
fects and can withstand load. Sunlight, rain, snow and extreme tem-
peratures will make these parts loose strength. Replace jumping mat,
frame padding and safety net after 36 month use.
• Check the product regularly – especially before and after use! – for dam-
age and wear marks. Not servicing the product regularly can lead to
dangerous consequences for the user.
• Verify prior to each use that the trampoline mat is not worn and parts are
not loose or missing. In particular, check all spring and bolt connections
and tighten them if necessary, so that they do not loosen during use.
• The trampoline can be blown over, when exposed to strong winds. In
the event that you expect windy weather, the trampoline must be trans-
ferred to a protected area and where expedient also disassembled. An-
other possibility is to ensure that the frame of the trampoline is securely
lashed with the help of ropes and stakes. In order to ensure safety, the
trampoline has to be pegged to the ground over at least three points.
Ensure that the frame of the trampoline is not exclusively only securely
lashed over a foot part of the trampoline, as this may lead to a tearing
apart of the frame connections.
• Keep the trampoline safe from impermissible access when not in use.
For trampoline with ladders, the supervisor must remove the ladder
when leaving the place so that unsupervised children under 6 years do
not get on the trampoline.
• Make sure that the padding for the trampoline frame is attached secure-
ly and is at the right place.
• In order to keep the risk of an injury to the minimum, always check the
trampoline for worn, defective or missing parts before use.
• Always inspect the safety net to find out if it is worn out or damaged
before the trampoline is used. Make sure that the safety net is properly
attached, its straps are securely fastened and the safety net itself is not
damaged.
• Do not make any technical modifications. The trampoline and its safety
net should be dismantled or secured against use until necessary correc-
tions have been made, if a fault or an abnormality which is potentially
dangerous to the user has been detected.
• Do not use the trampoline if it is damaged or unsafe!
• After moving the trampoline, check each point of the "Special Safety
Instructions" and "Safety Instructions" once again.
Watch out for the following
• Tears, holes or rips
• Loose jumping mat
• Pulled seams or other closure problems
• Bent or broken framework, i.e. legs
• Damaged or loose screws
• Broken, missing or damaged springs
• Damaged, missing or unsecured frame padding
• Protruding objects of any kind (especially sharp edges) on the frame,
springs or the mat
• Safe functioning of the locking bolt.
DISPOSAL ADVICE
At the end of the product's life, please dispose of it at an appropriate col-
lection point provided in your area. Local waste management companies
will be able to answer your questions on this.
SAFE USE
• Be aware of the fact that a trampoline's connecting springs can generate
tremendous elasticity and propel the person on the mat to surprising
heights and cause the body to move in a variety of extreme and unusual
directions. Use the trampoline only if you are physically fit. In case of a
doubt, consult a doctor before using the product.
• Stop jumping if you have moved more than 30 cm from the logo. Get
back to the centre of the mat and on the logo to resume jumping.
• To stop jumping, bend your knees when your feet come in contact with
the mat. Master this technique before trying newer ones.
• Master basic jumps before trying advanced skills. You can combine
these basic moves in a variety of combinations with or without straight
intermediate jumps to carry out various sequences on the trampoline.
• Avoid jumping too high. Keep your jumps low till you have sufficient
control on your jumps and always land on the middle of the trampoline.
Controlled jumping is more important than height. Keep your eyes on
the trampoline as it helps to control the jumps.
• Do not jump from balconies, trees or other such high places on to the
trampoline. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard. Jumps should
never be higher than the safety net.
• Do not jump deliberately or bounce off the safety net. Do not hang from
the top of the safety net or try to climb it. Remove all jewellery as it may
get caught or cut through the safety net.
• Contact an authorised trampoline coach for information on advanced skills.
The training on the trampoline (See p. 35)
Before you 'let it rip', we recommend some basic practise exercises on
the trampoline. We have collected a few suitable exercises here and rec-
ommend you to do them one after the other (warming up) and do them
again after your training for cooling down to support muscle regeneration
and enhance blood circulation after the training. Light stretching exercises
after the training will also be helpful.
Basic exercises on the trampoline for the warm-up and cool-down phase:
We recommend that each exercise shown here is performed 10 times in a row.
Contact bounce (Fig. A.1)
Stand on the trampoline with your feet about a shoulder-width apart, bend
your knees slightly. With the hands placed on the hips. Start with slight
hops, so that your feet are „just about" in the air. This exercise is also
especially suitable for a beginner as an aid to becoming a bit familiar with
the new sport device.
Foot tap (Fig. A.2)
Position yourself on the trampoline in the same manner as described in
the „Contact Bounce". Now shift your weight alternatingly from one side
to the other, while respectively shortly lifting the unburdened foot and tap
it on the side („tap"). Then return to the basic position and shift the weight
to the other side, again „tap", etc.
Hamstring curls (Fig. A.3)
While performing the „Contact Bounce", shift your weight to one side.
Then always touch the trampoline only with one foot while slightly bending
the knee of the other leg backwards.
Side to side (Fig. A.4)
In this exercise, position yourself as shown with both feet together on one
side and then jump to the other side, where you again land with both feet
together, etc.
Basic jumps for beginners
The basic jump (Fig. B.1)
1. Start while standing still then bob up and down a bit.
2. Swing your arms sideways and upwards away from the body to pull up
the body.
3. Keep the feet together while in the air.
4. Swing the arms back down again and land with both feet on the mat.
Knee jump (Fig. B.2)
1. Start with low height basic-jumps.
2. Land on your knees, however keep your back straight. Use your arms
to keep balance.
3. Jump back to the starting position by pulling your arms upwards.
Jump seat (Fig. B.3)
1. Land in a flat sitting position.
2. Place your hands on landing next to the hips.
3. Use your hands as support to return to the upright position.
