- Always use anti-cut gloves when closing or opening the structure, during adjustments or
maintenance (described in the following chapters). When finished, wash your hands with
soap and water.
- Immediately clean any accidental contacts of corrosive products that come into contact
with the structure to avoid rapid deterioration.
- Do not allow unauthorized personnel to work with the equipment.

- Make sure that there are no foreign objects in the sliding area of the structure.
- Individual protection devices must be used such as:
o Safety clothing
o Safety shoes
o Cut resistant gloves
The protection systems must be used in the following phases:
- Structure maintenance operations (cleaning, checking or adjustment)
- Operating operations (closing and opening)

2. BOX DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL SHEETS
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

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.

-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

19
To avoid damages or structural instability, it will be necessary to close the structure on itself in case of
important atmospherical events (rain, wind and snow).
•Closure of the structure:
-Unfasten the steel tension bar placed between the stell crosses;
-Push the frame until its complete closure.
a. Not allowed uses

occur:
- Unusual vibrations of the structure
- Cutting, shearing, hitting of the operator by the mobile components during the handling of the box
- Slipping or trippling of the operator during the installation process
- Breaking of the restraining elements during unfavourable wind; in this case, there is the risk for every
exposed person to get hit by the stucture
- Structural loss of stability, if the prescription previosly indicated will not be respected
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.
The PVC awning can be washed with mild soap and then rinsed with water only.
After the cleaning, the PVC shall be well dried before fold, in order to avoid the creation of moulds,
The checks and maintenance frequency indicated below is to be considered as the minimun interval to
grant efficiency, security and durability of the product of the product in normal use situations.
A constant supervision is reccomend, in order to act promptly in case of anomalies.
Ordinary maintenance, checks and lubrification operations must be done after the frame has been
uninstalled.
