6. Care and maintenance instructions
• Inspect the trampoline before each use and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts. The
following conditions could represent potential hazards:
1) Missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached frame padding
2) Punctures, frays, tears, or holes worn in the bed or frame padding
3) Deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the bed or frame padding
4) Ruptured springs
5) A bend or broken frame
6) A sagging bed, or
7) Sharp protrusions on the frame or suspension system.
• Ignoring inspections and neglecting maintenance can lead to dangerous situations and
unnecessary risks for the user.
• 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 lifted via the top rails by 3 adults. Should the trampoline require relocation over a greater
distance, it is recommended to disassemble the trampoline parts, re-pack and assemble
again at the new location.
• Strong winds and gusts can result in displacement of the trampoline. BERG recommends

around the BERG trampoline is prohibited. Using such products can cause components to
rust.
• The jump mat and padding can be cleaned with a cloth and cold water. NEVER use solvents,
dishwashing liquid, detergent or hot water.

• Objects and other obstacles that can interfere with jumping should be prohibited from the
jumping area.
8.2 Jumping instructions
• Do not enter or leave the trampoline by jumping.
• Proper movement while using the BERG trampoline requires good posture. Correct posture
and balance are achieved by tensing the muscles.
• Good posture ensures safe usage of the BERG trampoline. When jumping, the body is exposed
to shocks that require correct absorption. By tensing your muscles, you obtain better control
over your balance and this results in more jumping resilience. In contrast, a more relaxed
posture leads to loss of energy and jumping resilience. Begin with the basic jumps and
jumping positions and only increase comlexity when mastered. To come to a stop position
when jumping, bend knees when your feet touch the mat.
• Always jump in the middle of the mat. Avoid jumping on mat edge and trampoline padding.
• To come to a stop position when jumping, bend and flex knees when your feet touch the mat.
Learn this skill before attempting others.
• Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced
skills. A variety of jumping techniques can be carried out solo or in series and/or combinations
between bounces.
• Avoid bouncing too high. First obtain jumping control with proper landing position in middle
of mat. From a safety perspective, control is more important than height.
• To ensure and maintain control while jumping, ensure jumping posture is straight, head is in
upright position and eyes are focused on the jump mat.
• Movements that cause considerable friction (such as a “sliding” action) on the printing on
the jumping mat or the padding are not recommended. Heavy friction when sliding over
the printing on the jumping mat or the padding could result in the ink rubbing off onto skin
or clothing. It may be difficult to remove the ink from clothing. The ink meets the stringent
chemical requirements imposed on toy products, therefore contact with the skin or ingestion
of this ink has no harmful effects on human health.

8.3 Some basic jumps
Basic bounce
Upright position, head held in upright position.
Eyes focused on the jump mat. While jumping

Keep feet positioned together, toes pointed
downwards when returning back to the jump
mat. When landing on the jump mat, keep your
feet approximately 16 inches (40cm) apart.
Hands and knees bounce
Commence with basic bounce. Keep eyes
focused on jump mat. Swing arms forward and
in circular motion. Land on hands and knees.
Push off with hands and return to upright
position.
Seat drop
Commence with basic bounce. Keep eyes
focused on jump mat. Land in sitting position.
Place hands next to hips on jump mat when in
sitting position. Push off with hands en return
to upright position.
Front bounce
Commence with basic bounce and land on
your stomach. Keep head straight. Keep arms
extended forwarded on the jump mat. Push off
with hands and return to upright position.
Back drop
Commence with basic bounce and land on your
back. Keep chin pressed against your chest
during landing. Kick forward and up with legs
when returning to a standing position.
