2. BOX DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL SHEET
2.1 General description
The box must be used only as an ordinary protection cover, for purely temporary use. In case of bad
weather conditions (wind, snow), the box must be removed. Given that the box cannot be fixed to
the ground - but only bound to it - its use in these conditions can cause damages to people and
things.
It is particularly important for safety not to hang or apply any type of load at the structure or at the
top cover of the box.
In particular, children must not handle the snails. The failure to respect the conditions of use and
warnings immediately voids the warranty.

in areas where the stresses deriving from atmospheric phenomena can cause permanent
damage to the structure. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for installations in
areas regulated by specific urban planning regulations.
3.1. Handling and transport
The box installation should only be done by qualified staff.

ATTENTION: It is necessary for the operators to use appropriate personal protective
equipment such as safety shoes and gloves, in order to avoid injuries provoked by the
fall of the packaging or of components that it contains, perforation and cutting due to
cutting or hanging parts
3.3.1. Package opening
