Method to Folding the Ultimate Rebound:
The Ultimate Rebound, an amazing composite polymer quarter-folding rebounder,is new and unique in design and workmanship! Its design requires us to treat it differently. The springs that provide the perfect amount of resistance while the Ultimate Rebound is being used for exercise are also used to provide just the right resistance to insure that the unit is not folded up accidentally. The half-fold hinges are off center so that they require conscious effort for a person to fold the Ultimate Rebound. There are several techniques to folding the Ultimate Rebound.
After turning the Rebound upside down, turn each of the six permanently attached legs 30 degrees to the left and pull each up until you can fold each into its own compartment in the underside of the frame.
Notice that there are four hinges - two half fold hinges and two quarter-fold hinges. The half-fold hinges run horizontally across the frame. The quarter-fold hinges run vertically on the inside of the frame.
My favorite method of folding: If you have two people available (pictured above), have one person stand on the upside down frame with each foot positioned just behind each half-fold hinge. The other person should grab the other half at the quarter-fold hinge with one hand under and one hand over the frame. Lift up for at least eight inches to overcome the tension making sure that you have control of the half of the frame so that it does not hit the standing person in the shins. After that there is no tension and you can easily fold the unit in half. Finally, move the two half-fold hinges together until they touch. You can now install the unit into the carrying case.
