Introduction
Important
Warning
Congratulations on the purchase of your new container top shelter. Please get in touch with our customer service
team or one of our authorised trade partners if you have any questions or need any tips concerning the use of this
product. Please also take note of the following information.
Please read these installation instructions carefully before installing and using the container top shelter and keep
them for later use.
Please make sure to leave sufficient space between the shelter and any hoses or gas and power lines. To prevent
damaging such lines, please contact your local authority for more information. When using heaters inside the
shelter (please ask a specialist retailer for information on appropriate heaters); they have to be set up at a
minimum distance of 1.2 metres from the tarpaulin. Never light an open fire or use heaters with open flames under
the container top shelter. The installer is responsible for making sure that the shelter is appropriately anchored and
hence for the container top shelter’s safety. The anchors have to be regularly checked in order to make sure that
the shelter is safe, to prevent damage and to protect any third parties. Properly anchoring the shelter will extend
the individual components’ and the container top shelter’s service life as a whole. Always wear a helmet, gloves
and sturdy shoes when installing the shelter. The shelter’s metal components can have sharp edges and may have
greasy patches where they have been protected against rust. In the event of snow, the tarpaulin must be regularly
and promptly cleared of snow. The same also applies in the event of heavy rain fall or other substances or materials
that could put a strain on the shelter. The shelter’s spare parts must be stored out of the reach of children.
GB Safety Instructions
Caution!
Make sure that the ground over which the shelter is being erected is suitable for its intended use. The containers
or relevant supporting structures must be set up on level ground. Do not use any components other than those
supplied with the shelter. Do not touch and/or work on the tarpaulin with sharp objects. The elastic straps are
wear parts and must be replaced when the material becomes fatigued. If the shelter is installed in the winter and
at subzero temperatures, the tarpaulin should be stored at a temperature of at least 10°C for a sufficiently long
period of time and unfolded at this or a higher temperature. Failure to do so can cause the material in the folds to
tear.
Every country has regulations governing the erection of moveable (tents) and immovable structures. Please
contact your local authority to check whether you need a permit for this shelter and/or its intended use. In some
countries, permits are only required for temporary structures (tents) of a certain size.
