For safety reasons, it is important to check all the nuts and bolts and do an overall check of your stilts each time before you start out.
For most stilts, you will need the following tools:
2 wrenches - 10mm and 13 mm
*Note: If you remove any bolts, make sure you keep track of how they should go back.
Below is a general guide to follow when checking over your stilts. This may not describe all jumping stilts and your stilts may be different.
Before you start bouncing:
Hex Key (may come with some stilts)
Philips Screwdriver
Pliers
If you find any nuts that keep coming loose, you should replace them with new ones.
