Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use to ensure the safety of the user and the longevity of the product. Keep this manual for future reference.

2. Safety Information

Your safety and the safety of others are paramount. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury.

• Maximum Weight Capacity: The recommended maximum user weight for this trampoline is 35 kg. Exceeding this limit can compromise the trampoline's structure and safety. Note: Some product information may state 25 kg; always adhere to the lower, more conservative weight limit if discrepancies are found on packaging or labels.
• One User At A Time: Only one child should use the trampoline at any given time to prevent collisions and falls.
• Adult Supervision Required: Always ensure an adult supervises children using the trampoline.
• No Somersaults or Flips: Avoid somersaults, flips, or other dangerous maneuvers that can lead to head or neck injuries.
• Clear Surroundings: Ensure the area around the trampoline is clear of obstacles, at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) in all directions.
• Inspect Before Each Use: Before each use, check the trampoline for any damaged, worn, or missing parts, especially the safety net, padding, and frame connections. Do not use if any issues are found.
• Proper Attire: Users should wear appropriate clothing, free of sharp objects, and remove shoes before jumping.
• Weather Conditions: Do not use the trampoline in wet, windy, or icy conditions.
• Safety Net and Padding: The trampoline is equipped with a safety net (150 cm height) and soft edge covering, along with foam padding for the steel bars. Ensure these safety features are correctly installed and maintained.

3.1. Unpacking and Component Check

• Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
• Verify that all parts listed in the product's packing list are present.
• Familiarize yourself with the different screw lengths; there are two distinct sizes. Using the incorrect screw length can hinder assembly or compromise structural integrity.

3.2. Frame Assembly

1. Begin by assembling the powder-coated metal frame sections. Connect the base legs to the main frame structure. Ensure all connections are secure.
2. Attach the vertical support poles for the safety net to the main frame. These poles are designed with foam padding for safety.

3.3. Jumping Mat and Elastic Band Installation

This trampoline uses elastic bands instead of traditional springs for bounce. This step requires two people for easier installation.

1. Lay the jumping mat in the center of the frame.
2. Attach four elastic bands at equidistant points around the perimeter of the jumping mat to the frame. These act as anchor points.
3. Next, attach four more elastic bands, one in the middle of each quarter section, ensuring even tension.
4. Proceed to attach the remaining elastic bands. One person should pull the elastic band taut, while the other pushes the plastic hook into the frame attachment point. This method simplifies the process significantly.
5. Ensure all elastic bands are securely fastened and evenly distributed to provide optimal bounce and prevent damage.

3.4. Safety Net and Padding Installation

1. Install the soft edge covering (blue padding) over the elastic bands and frame perimeter. This protects users from direct contact with the frame and elastic bands.
2. Attach the safety net to the top of the vertical support poles and secure its base to the trampoline frame, ensuring it is taut and free of gaps. The safety net has a height of 150 cm.
3. Ensure all foam paddings are correctly positioned on the steel bars to prevent impact injuries.

After assembly, double-check all connections, screws, and elastic bands to ensure they are tight and secure before first use.

4. Operating Instructions

The Hudora Hornet Jump In Trampoline is designed for recreational use by children, featuring child-friendly bounce control.

• Entry and Exit: Always enter and exit the trampoline carefully, preferably through the designated opening in the safety net.
• Jumping Technique: Encourage children to jump in the center of the mat. Avoid jumping too high or attempting complex maneuvers.
• Supervision: Continuous adult supervision is mandatory during use.
• Environmental Factors: Ensure the trampoline is placed on a level surface. Do not use near trees, fences, or other structures.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the safety and extends the lifespan of your trampoline.

• Routine Inspection: Periodically check all components for wear, tear, or damage. Pay close attention to the jumping mat, elastic bands, safety net, frame padding, and frame connections.
• Cleaning: Clean the jumping mat and safety net with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade materials.
• Frame Integrity: Ensure all bolts and screws remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Pole Removal: The outer poles of the safety net are designed with a 'click system' and can be removed for easier storage or maintenance. Ensure they are securely re-attached before use.
• Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or adverse weather conditions, consider disassembling and storing the trampoline indoors to protect it from elements.
• Replacement Parts: If any part is damaged or excessively worn, replace it immediately with genuine Hudora replacement parts. Do not use the trampoline with damaged components.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

• Difficulty with Screw Lengths: If screws appear too short or do not fit, double-check that you are using the correct screw length for that specific connection point. The product includes two different screw lengths. Refer to the assembly diagrams (if available in the physical manual) for guidance.
• Uneven Bounce: Ensure all elastic bands are correctly and evenly attached to the jumping mat and frame. Uneven tension can lead to an inconsistent bounce.
• Loose Frame Connections: Periodically check and tighten all bolts and screws on the frame. Vibrations from jumping can cause them to loosen over time.
• Damaged Safety Net or Padding: If the safety net or frame padding shows signs of significant wear, tears, or damage, cease use immediately and replace the affected components.
