6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Generico Trampoline Replacement Mat/Padding:

• Cleaning: Clean the padding regularly with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
• Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Allow the padding to air dry completely before prolonged storage or continued use.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the padding for any signs of wear, tears, fading, or damage to the securing straps. Address minor issues promptly or replace the padding if damage compromises safety.
• Weather Protection: While the padding is waterproof, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, intense UV) can affect its lifespan. Consider covering the trampoline during harsh weather if possible.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your trampoline replacement padding, consider the following:

• Padding does not fit correctly:
  Solution: Verify that the size of the purchased padding (183cm, 244cm, or 305cm) matches the diameter of your trampoline frame. Measure your trampoline frame from outer edge to outer edge.
• Padding is loose or shifts during use:
  Solution: Ensure all securing straps or elastic bands are properly attached and tightened around the trampoline frame. Re-adjust for a snug fit.
• Water pooling on the padding:
  Solution: While the padding is waterproof, excessive pooling can occur if the trampoline surface is not level or if the padding is not taut. Ensure the trampoline is on a flat surface and the padding is installed without significant sags.
• Signs of wear or damage:
  Solution: Regular inspection is key. If the padding shows significant tears, holes, or degradation that compromises safety, it should be replaced.
