for outdoor use, however it does not mean it is waterproof. It is always important to note that
any electrics or equipment susceptible to water damage should be sealed.
Always ensure that the product dataplate remains visible and in good condition, especially
the unique serial number, as this is required should you need a replacement lock or key.
Ongoing maintenance
It is important to check that the OxBox is not damaged before every use.
We recommend for you to check the hinges, gas struts, locks, SlamStop lid stay and any
optional extras every three months, to ensure that the OxBox can operate fully. If the OxBox
will be under rigorous use, we recommend integrity checking regularly.
Always carry out integrity checks before lifting the box.
