Introduction 1
Congratulations on purchasing a JumpSport Trampoline System! We sincerely believe that you have purchased the
finest round trampoline on the market. It has been engineered with safety, durability, and performance in mind. As a
result, this product features our StagedBounce mat system and our Sure-Lok rail system.
Safe use of a trampoline also requires adequate knowledge of technique, as well as what not to do. Please read this
manual thoroughly for key points of safety.
Trampolines, being rebounding devices, propel the performer to unaccustomed heights and into a variety of body
movements. Therefore, it is emphasized that all purchasers, and all persons using the trampoline, become familiar with
the rules for safe use. Misuse and abuse of this trampoline is dangerous, and can cause serious injuries. The purchaser/
user of this piece of equipment is assuming a degree of risk for which JumpSport cannot be responsible.
Read this information thoroughly before allowing the trampoline to be used. Keep this manual available for your
review, and for review by all potential users. If there are questions please call JumpSport for further explanation.
CAUTION
JumpSport trampolines are designed exclusively for the home backyard market. Many users of our trampolines are
children, and therefore need close supervision and rules to follow while playing on the trampoline. These rules must be
enforced by whomever is responsible for the care of the children. It is strongly recommended that the buyer of this
product go over the rules and recommendations in the packet of information supplied, including those in this manual. It
is also strongly recommended that these rules and recommendations be supplemented with those of your own, for
example: the time that jumping is allowed, when neighbors can visit, and so on. These rules and recommendations
should be reviewed with anyone who is going to jump on the trampoline. If it is possible, review these rules with the
parents or guardians of any visitors who may be jumping on the trampoline. See Safety Rules (under the Use Instructions
section) for more information.
Recommended weight limitation is no more than 235 pounds. Persons at, or near this weight should test the resiliency of
the springs prior to extensive bouncing. Do this by jumping lightly on the mat. If the resiliency appears to be weak (mat
does not lift the individual when light jumps are made), discontinue bouncing immediately, take off the springs and
inspect them. If the springs appear to be stretched out of shape, the mat should not be put back on until the springs have
been replaced. Be sure to check the mat for any areas that need re-stitching, or V-rings that may need replacing.
We also urge you to not keep any ladder, step stool, or other climbing device next to the trampoline when use of the
trampoline is not supervised by an adult. This precaution helps to prevent access to the trampoline by individuals that
are too small, or do not have the physical strength necessary to jump on a trampoline without having the proper
supervision.

Preparation
Before you begin assembling your JumpSport Elite 12ft StagedBounce Trampoline System, make sure your trampoline is
in a proper location.
Trampoline Placement
CAUTION: When deciding on where to place your trampoline, consider the following:
WARNING
Overhead Clearance Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum of 24 feet from ground level
is recommended. Provide clearance for wires, tree limbs, and other possible hazards.
Lateral Clearance Lateral clearance is essential. Place the trampoline and trampoline enclosure away from
walls, structures, fences, and other play areas. Maintain a clear space on all sides of the
trampoline and trampoline enclosure.
Level Surface Place the trampoline and trampoline enclosure on a level surface before use.
Lighting Use the trampoline and trampoline enclosure in a well-lighted area. Artificial
illumination may be required for indoor or shady areas.
Security Secure the trampoline and trampoline enclosure against unauthorized and
unsupervised use.
Ground Clearance Remove any obstructions from beneath the trampoline and trampoline enclosure.
Note: The trampoline enclosure is only to be used as an enclosure for a trampoline and the trampoline must be of
the appropriate size as covered by the specific enclosure.
Note: The owner and supervisors of the trampoline are responsible to make all users aware of practices specified in
the Use Instructions.
IMPORTANT: The best surface on which to place your trampoline is dirt or grass. However, if you plan to install the
trampoline on a very hard surface such as concrete or asphalt, a dense foam — similar to what can be found in
public playgrounds — should be installed under each leg. Contact JumpSport Customer Service if you have any
questions.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser to become familiar with all of the information in this booklet, to
convey the warnings to all users, and to enforce JumpSport’s rules for safe use.
This unit is not intended for commercial or public use, and such use is strictly prohibited.
This trampoline is not recommended for use by children under six years of age.

Care and Maintenance
Instructions 3
Your JumpSport Trampoline is made using quality materials and is finely-crafted to provide you and your family with
many years of enjoyment and exercise. Proper maintenance and care will help to prolong the life of the trampoline and
reduce the possibility of injury.
All trampolines require maintenance at some point. Springs may need to be replaced, rail pieces may become bent,
stitching in the mat and frame pads may rot out. The following maintenance guidelines should always be observed.
Inspection (Trampoline)
Inspect the trampoline before each use and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts. The following conditions could
represent potential hazards:
• Missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached barrier or enclosure support system (frame) padding and
pole caps
• Puncture, frays, tears, or holes worn in the barrier or support system (frame) padding
• Deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the barrier or support system (frame) padding
• Bent or broken support system (frame)
• A sagging barrier
• Sharp protrusions on the support system (frame) or suspension system
Note: The “bed” mentioned above and elsewhere in this manual, refers to the jumping surface (generally referred to
as the “mat”). The “barrier” mentioned above and elsewhere in this manual, refers to the safety enclosure netting.
The “frame” mentioned refers to the rail assembly pieces of the trampoline.
If any of the above conditions exist, your 12ft StagedBounce Trampoline System must be disassembled or otherwise
protected against use until the condition is remedied.
29
Care and Maintenance Instructions
Trampoline Mat
Periodically inspect the trampoline for worn out or rotten stitching around the trampoline mat (bed). Stitching may fail
due to excessive use or exposure to extreme weather. In most cases, evidence of deterioration will make itself known in
the form of:
CAUTION: If any deterioration is found, all bouncing must cease and the trampoline must be disassembled
or otherwise protected against use until the condition is remedied.
The mat should be replaced with the appropriate JumpSport part. Remember, the only thing between the jumper and
the ground is the mat. If a deteriorated mat is not inspected properly, further jumping could cause the mat to pull away
from the straps in a large area and the jumper may land on the ground, which could cause serious injury.
Do not use a sharp object - such as a shovel, hoe, or garden rake - to remove ice or snow as this may damage the mat.
This type of damage is not covered by warranty.
Replacement Parts
All replacement parts should be ordered through JumpSport. Stores that repair shoes, awnings, or tents, as well as
upholstery shops, do not have the proper materials, equipment, or methods for the proper/safe repair of trampoline
mats and frame pads.
Call JumpSport at 408-213-2551 if you need replacement parts, or have any questions.
If any warning labels or signs become unreadable or missing, call JumpSport for free replacements.
Trampoline mats should be completely replaced if any tear or hole is greater than one inch in length. Patches over larger
holes will eventually fail, creating a potential for hazardous injury.
CAUTION: Do not repair trampoline mats with holes greater than one inch.
Disassembly
To disassemble, follow the assembly steps in reverse order. Do not attempt to disassemble any rail pieces before the mat
and springs have been removed. See the Assembly Instructions beginning on page 11.
30
Care and Maintenance Instructions (Trampoline)
Frame Pad Our frame pad reduces the risk of accidental injury due to falling onto the frame railing and gives
minimal resistance to striking or falling on and through the springs. The frame pad life-expectancy
is one to two years. To increase life of pad:
• Do not allow jumpers to stand or sit on pad
• Do not allow jumpers to grab pad in order to pull themselves onto trampoline
• Do not allow sharp, abrasive objects to come in contact with the pad surface
• If you have a safety enclosure installed, rotate the pad periodically to spread out wear and tear

Care and Maintenance Instructions
Windy Conditions
It is possible for the trampoline to be blown about by a high wind. If you anticipate high winds, the frame should be
secured to the ground with the use of a JumpSport Trampoline Anchor Kit. If you anticipate severe winds, the
trampoline should be moved to a sheltered location or completely disassembled. Our anchor kit can be found in the
Accessories section at www.jumpsport.com.
Care
Do not allow family pets on the trampoline, as claws may snag and pull the trampoline mat material or net material, or
damage the frame pad or pole foam.
The 12ft StagedBounce Trampoline System is intended to be used by one person at a time, weighing less than 235
pounds. The user should either be barefoot or wearing gymnastic slippers or non-cleated athletic shoes. The user should
remove all sharp objects from their person that may cause injury or damage to the trampoline mat. Heavy, sharp, or
hard pointed objects should not contact the mat surface.

can result in serious injury.
Points of Safety
It is essential that trampoline users follow a carefully planned safety program so that the trampoline can be fully
enjoyed. Most accidents can be classified into the following:
• The trampoline enclosure is not designed to prevent injuries associated with unsafe use of the trampoline, or with
more advanced skills like flips, somersaults, or acrobatic maneuvers. Do not attempt any of these activities.
• Each user should become familiar with the Care and Maintenance Instructions, Warning Information, and Use
Instructions included in this manual.
• The trampoline enclosure does not replace the need for supervision by a responsible, knowledgeable adult.
• Allow only one person to use the entrance at one time.
• When exiting, do not jump off the edge of the trampoline. Always sit on the edge, then carefully lower your body
onto the ground.
• Do not attach other apparatus to the trampoline enclosure unless it is a JumpSport-approved device. Any additional
JumpSport accessory that you may attach to the trampoline enclosure must be attached and used only in accordance
with the instructions for such accessory.
35
Warning Information
Simple frame pads or spring covers on their own do not give adequate protection. Installing the JumpSport Safety
Enclosure and using spotters, will greatly reduce the risk of injury.
• Proper instruction and mastering of the “Stop Bounce” technique in the “Basic Skills” section
• Maintaining a position in the center of the mat
• Strictly forbidding any “flying dismounts” (i.e. jumping off of the trampoline onto another object or the ground)
• Installing a JumpSport Safety Enclosure
• Using spotters
• Using the trampoline only with mature, knowledgeable supervision
Keep objects away from the trampoline. It is dangerous to jump from the trampoline to the floor or ground. Do not jump
from the trampoline into a swimming pool, onto a swing, or any other object. Do not install the trampoline on concrete,
asphalt or hard compacted surfaces.
36
Use Instructions 5
WARNING
• DO NOT attempt or allow somersaults. Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury, paralysis, or death,
even when landing in the middle of the bed.
• DO NOT allow more than one person on the trampoline. Use by more than one person at the same time can result in
serious injuries.
• Use trampoline only with mature, knowledgeable supervision.
• Trampolines over 20 inches (51 cm) tall are not recommended for use by children under 6 years of age.
• Inspect the trampoline before each use. Make sure the frame padding is correctly and securely positioned. Replace
any worn, defective, or missing parts.
• Climb on and off the trampoline. It is a dangerous practice to jump from the trampoline to the floor or ground when
dismounting, or to jump onto the trampoline when mounting. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other
objects.
• Stop bounce by flexing knees as feet come in contact with the trampoline bed. Learn this skill before attempting
others.
• Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. A variety of
trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic fundamentals in various series and combinations,
performing one fundamental after another, with or without feet bounces between them.
• Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until bounce control and repeated landing in the center of the trampoline can be
accomplished. Control is more important than height.
• While keeping the head erect, focus eyes on the trampoline toward the perimeter. This will help control bounce.
• Avoid bouncing when tired. Keep turns short.
• Properly secure the trampoline when not in use. Protect it against unauthorized use. If a trampoline ladder is used,
the supervisor should remove it from the trampoline when leaving the area to prevent unsupervised access by
children under 6 years of age.
• Keep objects away which could interfere with the performer. Maintain a clear area around the trampoline.
• Do not use the trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• For additional information concerning the trampoline equipment, contact the manufacturer.
• For information concerning skill training, contact a certified trampoline instructor.
• Bounce only when the surface of the bed is dry. Wind or air movement should be calm to gentle. The trampoline
must not be used in gusty or severe winds.
• Read all instructions before using the trampoline. Warnings and instructions for the care, maintenance, and use of
this trampoline are included to promote safe, enjoyable use of this equipment.
Note: The “bed” mentioned above and elsewhere in this manual, refers to the jumping surface (generally referred to
as the “mat”). The “frame” mentioned refers to the rail assembly pieces of the trampoline.
37
Use Instructions (Safety Enclosure)
WARNING
• DO NOT attempt or allow somersaults on the trampoline. Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury,
paralysis, or death, even when landing in the middle of the bed.
• DO NOT allow more than one person inside the trampoline enclosure. Use by more than one person at the same
time can result in serious injuries.
• Use trampoline enclosure only with mature, knowledgeable supervision.
• Inspect the trampoline enclosure before each use. Make sure the barrier and the enclosure support (frame) padding
is correctly and securely positioned. Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
• Children may be entangled or strangled in loose cords or gaps between trampoline and enclosure. Keep enclosure
tightly fastened to the trampoline in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to properly assemble

Basic Skills
Basic trampoline skills include:
• Bouncing
• Stop Bounce
• Arm Action
• Bounce Variations
Bouncing
The most important basic skill in jumping on a trampoline, is controlling the height and landing of your bounce. The
goal is to land in the center of the mat, or as close to the center of the mat as possible. The basic bounce should always
being low. High, reckless bouncing should never be allowed.
Stop Bounce
The Stop Bounce technique allows the jumper to gain control by stopping quickly. It is done by keeping the feet in
contact with the mat, and absorbing the rebound of the trampoline with the knees and waist. This skill should be learned
right away and should be employed whenever you feel out of balance, or land away from the center area.
Arm Action
Arms are very important for proper control and lift. Whenever you go up, your arms go up. They go up to a set position
about shoulder height and shoulder width. They should remain in this balanced position until you start to go down.
Then they circle down slightly behind the hips, ready to lift again as you bounce up. See Figure 2.

Bounce Variations
Figure 3 shows three variations you can perform in the air. These should be performed at the top of your bounce before
returning to the normal landing position on your feet.
Practice these simple variations and concentrate on perfect form. When you are in position, make sure you point your
toes and straighten your fingers (Pike and Straddle variations). Also make sure you take off and land in the same spot on
the center of the mat.
These simple variations to the basic bounce can be a lot of fun, and are very important for gaining experience in
coordinated movement and balance.
Seat Drop

Use Instructions
1. Get down on your hands and knees on the mat. Make sure you have weight on both your hands and knees. Do not
sit on your heels.
2. Remain in this position and try to bounce. Do not rock back and forth between the hands and knees, but develop an
even landing on all four points.
3. From the standing position, prime the mat several times. Lift upward with the hips, reach forward with the hands,
and land on all fours. Look slightly in front of your hands on landing. Push to rebound to your feet.
1. First learn how to go from the hands and knees drop to the front drop.
a. Start from the hands and knees drop position.
b. As you rebound from the hands and knees, stretch so that you land on your
stomach. From this position, rebound to your hands and knees.
2. Next, perform Step 1, beginning and ending in a standing crouched position.
a. Start from a standing position with your knees bent and your upper body
low and close to the trampoline mat.
b. Prime the mat several times.
c. Lift your hips gently upward and backward.
d. Land in a hands and knees drop, rebound and stretch into a front drop, and
return to a hands and knees drop.
e. Push with the hands to return to your feet.
3. Lastly, perform Step 2 from a standing position.
a. Start from a straight standing position.
b. Prime the mat several times.
c. Perform a Front Drop as in Step 2.
41
Use Instructions
Front Drop Note: Your body must contact the trampoline mat all at once. If you land on your chest and arms first,
they will rebound before the knees hit, which will result in a straining action on the back. If this type of landing is
made with a traveling, diving approach, there is a good chance that the elbows may become skinned. If the landing
is made so that the knees and hips hit first, then they will rebound and you will land heavily on your shoulders and
face.
Series of Drops
Once you have mastered the individual bounce variations and drops, try performing them in sequence. For example:
Seat Drop—Hands and Knees Drop—Front Drop or Seat Drop—Hands and Knees Drop—Seat Drop.
Twisting Moves
Twisting moves include:
• Swivel Hips
• Turntable
• Twist Variations
Swivel Hips
A Swivel Hips is a combination move consisting of a Seat Drop, half twist, then another Seat Drop.
42
Use Instructions
Turntable
Figure 8 Turntable
A Turntable is a combination move consisting of a Front
Drop, a Half Twist, then another Front Drop.
Twist Variations
You can have hours and hours of fun and challenging bouncing by combining twists with each of the basic landing
positions (Drops). You can twist after the landing. For example: Seat Drop with a half twist and land on your feet.
You can add more twists. Always remember to practice and perfect the simpler twists before moving on to more
complex twists.
You can also perform a series of twists. For example: perform several Swivel Hips in a row, all in the same direction or
alternate directions. You can do the same thing with Turntable twisting.
If you find you love the trampoline and have mastered the moves discussed in these instructions, we encourage you to
seek additional training from a certified trampoline instructor.
