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 can not 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 structure. The failure to respect the conditions of use and warnings
immediately voids the warranty.

3.INSTALLATION
ATTENTION: Intenda S.r.l. recommends a preventive investigation by a competent technician, for
a detailed analysis of the urban planning regulations in force in the installation area of the box.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for installations in areas (floors) not suitable for
supporting the static and dynamic loads of the structure or 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.
The products must be unloaded through appropriate lifting equipment, which must be used only by
authorized staff.
If the unloading operation is made by hand, it is important to consider that the weight limit that each male
person can handle is 25 Kg; moreover, the operators should be equipped with gloves and safety shoes.
3.2. Place and requirements for the installation
Before the arrival of the installers the user must arrange:
•any permits required by local regulations
•appropriate ground
3.3. Installation
Before starting the installation, if electrical equipment utilization is needed:
•make sure you do not work in wet areas
•use only intact extension cords, according to the place of use
•use shoes with rubber soles
ATTENTION: It is necessary for the operators to use appropriate personal protective equipment
such as safety shoes and gloves, in order to avoid injuries caused 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
Packaging must be opened only with scissors with rounded tips, using the best care not to cut the cloth of
the article (Photo 1).

13
NOTE: The packaging material disposal is at user’s charge, who will perform it in accordance with
existing environmental norms.
3.3.2 Box installation
The sliding door must be opened (photo 2) and only the screws of the lower part of the crosses must be
released with an Allen key (photo 3).

The top cover must be stretched:
•BASE VERSION: using the stretching device (not included) and tightening the screws of the lower part
of the crosses (photo 5/a, 5/b and 5/c)
•MOBILE VERSION: putting the tension bars in regular position, at 180° (photo 6/a and 6/b); through
the regulation of the tensor screws, there will be a better top cover tensioning

5. BOX USAGE
Before using the box, it is necessary to check that the installation has been done properly.
ATTENTION: check that the structure is not damaged or deformed, and that no one of the
component is broken.
5.1 Mobile version
•OPENING OF THE STRUCTURE:
-Pull the frame until the structure will be fully stretched
-Move the tension bar placed between the crosses in horizontal position
-Link the internal streching devices to the pegs with eyelet placed on the ground;
then, put in tension the structure through the stretching device.
The structure should be tensioned at the same degree on both sides
To avoid damages or structural instability, it will be necessary to close the structure on itself in
case of important atmospheric events (rain, wind and snow).
OPEN POSITION
For disasse bly, pull the belt in the direction
indicated by the arrow
Move the stretching lever to
tension the belt

18
•CLOSURE OF THE STRUCTURE:
-Unlock the tension bar placed between the crosses
-Push the frame until its complete closure
a. Not allowed uses
The product should be used for the purposes declared by the constructor.
In particular, the box must not be used:
- without PVC awnings
- with missing/broken safety and fixing devices
- in explosive atmosphere, or in place with potential fire hazard

risk for every exposed person to get hit by the structure
- Structural loss of stability, if the prescription previosly indicated will not be respected

19
6. CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
It is necessary to periodically check the general state of the structure, of the connections between
the various components, of the and the PVC awnings.
