WEATHER In most cases where deterioration has begun evidence will make itself known in the form of broken stitches at the straps or as rotting frayed straps at the position of the v ring When this is found all bouncing must cease and the trampoline immediately disassembled The jumping mat should be re placed with the appropriate JumpSport mat Remember the only thing between the jumper and the ground is the mat If a deteriorated mat is not inspected properly jumping can cause the mat to pull away from the straps in a large area so that the jumper may land on the ground This could cause a serious injury This trampoline is designed for year round outdoor use However in climates of cold weather where snow and ice is prevalent we recommend the mat be taken off and stored in a dry area To remove the mat simply reverse the assembly instructions for installing it See page 9 10 During an ice or snow storm you should use extreme care in removing the ice and snow in order to remove the mat We suggest using a high pressure water hose and spray upward from the underside of the trampoline starting at the mat s lowest point Another recommendation is to use hot water on the ice and snow to melt it away such that the mat can be removed Left unattended in snow and ice your trampoline jumping mat will accumulate weight in the middle causing damage to your springs This type of damage is not covered by your warranty In removing
