In this article, we will guide you through the necessary steps to repair and maintain your trampoline, ensuring both safety and longevity.
inspect the bed
After installing your new MaxAir Trampoline, it’s important to be aware of certain things to look out for during normal use. The trampoline bed is the part you’ll likely use the most, and the strings that make up the bed may wear down over time, causing some to snap.
Fortunately, MaxAir Trampolines provides a repair kit that includes everything you need to fix any damage to the trampoline bed.
repairing the bed
To repair a broken string on the trampoline bed, follow these steps:
Start by identifying the broken string(s) by inspecting the trampoline bed carefully.
Remove the damaged string by untying or cutting it, depending on the design.
Take the replacement string from the repair kit and thread it through the designated holes, following the original pattern.
Make sure to secure the ends of the new string tightly, ensuring it is properly attached to the trampoline bed.
Repeat the process for any additional broken strings.
inspect the springs
Another essential part to check regularly is the springs. Each spring is crucial for the trampoline’s balance and performance, and a damaged spring can cause stress on all the other springs. To maintain optimal performance and safety, MaxAir Trampolines includes an extra set of replacement springs with every trampoline purchase.
replacing springs
Follow these steps to inspect and replace trampoline springs:
Conduct a visual inspection of all the springs, looking for signs of damage, such as rust, stretching, or deformation.
If you notice any damaged springs, remove them using a spring puller or the end-hook of another trampoline spring.
Take the replacement spring and attach them securely to the trampoline and then to the wiggle wire of the frame.
Ensure that the tension of each spring is balanced, providing consistent support and a level bouncing surface.
For additional springs, you can conveniently purchase them through our website.
proper trampoline maintenance
Taking good care of your trampoline is the best way to prevent the need for repairs and ensure its longevity. Here are some maintenance tips to keep your trampoline in excellent condition:
Location: Install your trampoline in a shaded area to minimize exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause UV damage. If shade is not available, consider using a weather cover to protect the trampoline when not in use.
Seasonal Storage: If you know that your above ground trampoline won’t be used frequently, it’s recommended to store it for the season. This step protects the trampoline from harsh weather conditions and drastically extends the lifespan.
Regular Cleaning: Remove debris, leaves, and dirt from the trampoline surface regularly. Use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away any dirt or grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the trampoline bed or frame.
Periodic Inspections: Schedule routine inspections to check for any signs of wear and tear, loose components, or potential issues. Addressing these problems early can prevent further damage and the need for extensive repairs.
