Frame Assembly⁚ Building the Foundation

The frame assembly is the foundation of your Sportspower My First Trampoline‚ so it’s essential to build it securely and correctly. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a stable and safe trampoline⁚

4. Check for stability⁚ Once the frame is assembled‚ stand back and give it a gentle shake to ensure it’s stable and secure. If you notice any wobbles or loose connections‚ tighten the hardware before proceeding.

Remember‚ a sturdy frame is crucial for a safe and enjoyable trampoline experience. Take your time and ensure that all connections are secure before moving on to the next step.

Jumping Mat and Spring Installation⁚ Creating the Bounce

Installing the jumping mat and springs is a crucial step in creating the bounce and excitement of your Sportspower My First Trampoline. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure a safe and effective bounce⁚

1. Prepare the jumping mat⁚ Lay the jumping mat flat on the ground‚ ensuring it’s free of wrinkles or folds.
2. Attach the springs⁚ Using the spring loading tool provided‚ carefully attach the springs to the jumping mat. Each spring should be securely connected to a hook on the frame and a loop on the mat.
3. Ensure even spring tension⁚ After attaching all springs‚ check that they are evenly stretched. If one spring is tighter than another‚ adjust it accordingly to ensure even bounce across the mat.
4. Secure the mat to the frame⁚ Once all springs are attached‚ secure the jumping mat to the frame using the provided clips or straps. Ensure all connections are secure and that the mat is centered on the frame.

Remember‚ proper spring tension is essential for a safe and enjoyable bounce. If any springs are loose or uneven‚ adjust them before allowing anyone to jump on the trampoline.

Enclosure Assembly⁚ Ensuring Safety and Visibility

The enclosure plays a vital role in providing a safe and enjoyable jumping experience for your children. Here’s how to assemble the enclosure correctly⁚

1. Prepare the enclosure poles⁚ Identify the top rail poles‚ corner top rail poles with sockets‚ and vertical leg poles. Make sure all poles are clean and free of debris.
2. Connect the top rails⁚ Connect the top rail poles to the corner top rail poles with sockets‚ forming a square. The sockets should securely hold the poles together.
3. Attach the vertical legs⁚ Insert the vertical leg poles into the sockets on the top rails. Ensure they are securely attached and stand upright.
4. Install the netting⁚ Carefully attach the netting to the top rails and vertical legs‚ ensuring it is taut and securely fastened. Use the provided clips or straps to secure the netting.
5. Install the zippered entry⁚ Locate the zippered entryway and attach it to the netting‚ ensuring it is securely fastened and easy to open and close.

After assembling the enclosure‚ inspect it thoroughly to ensure all connections are secure and the netting is free of rips or tears. The enclosure should provide a safe barrier around the trampoline‚ allowing parents to see their children while they jump.

Final Adjustments and Safety Checks

Once you’ve completed the assembly‚ it’s crucial to make final adjustments and conduct thorough safety checks before allowing anyone to jump on the trampoline. These steps are essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience⁚

3. Check the netting⁚ Ensure the netting is securely fastened and free of rips‚ tears‚ or loose connections. The netting should be tight enough to prevent anyone from falling out.
4. Test the enclosure⁚ Carefully test the zippered entry and the enclosure’s strength by gently pulling on the netting and the zipper. Make sure it’s secure and functions properly.
5. Level the trampoline⁚ Adjust the legs to ensure the trampoline is level and stable on the ground. Uneven surfaces can create instability and lead to injuries.

After completing these checks‚ you can confidently allow your children to enjoy their new trampoline. Remember to supervise them at all times and enforce safe jumping practices.

• Adult supervision⁚ Never allow children to use the trampoline without constant adult supervision. A responsible adult should be present to enforce safety rules and intervene if necessary.
• One user at a time⁚ The trampoline is designed for one user at a time. Multiple users increase the risk of collisions and injuries.
• Safe jumping practices⁚ Teach children to jump in the center of the mat and avoid landing on the edges or springs. Discourage flips‚ somersaults‚ or any stunts that could lead to serious injuries.
• Regular inspection⁚ Inspect the trampoline regularly for signs of wear and tear‚ including torn netting‚ loose springs‚ or damaged padding. Repair or replace any damaged parts immediately.
• Cleaning⁚ Clean the trampoline regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
• Storage⁚ When not in use‚ store the trampoline in a dry‚ covered area to protect it from the elements and extend its lifespan.

By following these guidelines‚ you can help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your children while preserving the quality of your Sportspower My First Trampoline.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While the Sportspower My First Trampoline is designed for durability and ease of use‚ some common issues may arise. Here’s a guide to troubleshooting these problems⁚

• Loose Springs⁚ If you notice a spring is loose or detached‚ use the spring loading tool provided to securely reattach it to the mat. Ensure the spring is properly hooked onto both the mat and the frame.
• Torn Netting⁚ If the netting is torn‚ replace it with a new one. Do not attempt to repair the netting yourself‚ as this could compromise its safety.
• Loose Frame Parts⁚ Check for loose bolts or screws on the frame and tighten them as needed. Ensure all parts are securely connected to prevent instability.
• Sagging Mat⁚ If the mat sags‚ it may be due to worn springs. Replace the springs with new ones to restore the bounce and safety of the trampoline.
• Difficult Zipper⁚ If the zipper on the enclosure is difficult to operate‚ lubricate it with a silicone spray to improve its smoothness. Avoid using oil-based lubricants‚ as they can damage the netting.
