1.2. General precautions regarding the use of the product
These indications are part of the normal behavior that workers must have towards the product and
therefore in the design and construction of the product, the manufacturer considered them known to
the tenant. It is the user's task to inform (by delivering this manual) and train the employees (users
and maintenance technicians) so that these indications are brought to the attention of the staff who
will work with the structure.
- 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.
- Before using the equipment, make sure that any dangerous to safety conditions have been properly
eliminated.
- Make sure that all the guards and other protections as well as the structural fixings are in place and
that all the safety devices are present and efficient.
- 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)
1.3. Structure of the manual

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 any part of the box. 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 of the box 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 provoqued 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).

-One of the archs with the PVC gable must be positioned on the first profile; then, the elastic rope
which is linked to the arch must be at the same side where the iron hooks are positioned (photo 8
and 9);
- the remaining arches have to be assembled in a way to complete the structure (photo 10 and 11);

- then, the door must be threaded in the profile and hooked to the sliders. It is recommended to
press the slider hooks with a cramp in order to avoid the door’s unhooking (photo 19 and 20);
The structure must be tensioned:
•BASE VERSION: using the proper stretching device (not included ) and fixing the screws of
the lower part of the crosses (photo 22 and 23)
•MOBILE VERSIONE: putting the tension bars in regulation position, at 180° (photo 24 and
25);through the regulation of the tensor screws, there will be a better top cover tensioning
(photo 24 and 25)

It is strictly recommended to follow the maintenance and inspection
programs as described in this manual.
It is useful to explain the correct meaning of some terms used it this manual:
“Dangerous areas”: any part of the box which can damage a person during handling of the
structure.
“Exposed person”: any person who stands entirely or partially near a dangerous area of
the box.
“Operator”: the person in charge of the handle and maintenance of the box.
The box should be only used by trained staff. These people should know the features of the
product, and should be informed about the indications contained in this manual .
INSTALLATION AREA
The structure can be opened and closed by manual handling, by pushing it to the back. The
handling operations should be always done on the ground. Any folding operation from a
raised position it is strictly forbidden.
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 stretching 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
NOTE

19
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).
•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
- to contain materials with non-conforming measures, or materials which protrude from the
structure
- in adverse weather conditions; in these situations (strong wind, rain, snow), it is necessary
to fold up the box
- in dangerous conditions, if the structure appears damaged or not functioning

warranty and will invalid the declaration of conformity of the product.
b. Residual risks
According to its own knowledge of the product, the constructor declares that the following dangers
may 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 adverse wind; in this case, there is the risk
for every exposed person to get hit by the structure
- Structural loss of stability, if the prescription previously 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 minimum interval
to grant efficiency, security and durability of the product of the product in normal use situations.
A constant supervision is recommended, in order to act promptly in case of anomalies.
Ordinary maintenance, checks and lubrification operations must be done after the frame has been
uninstalled.
ATTENTION: Every modification or manomission which has not been previously authorized by the
constructor, will cause the dacay of every responsibility of the constructor on the product conformity.
