INTENDED USE

The actuator is designed and made exclusively to provide
opening and closing, by means of a control device, of top-
hinged, bottom-hinged, and vertical mounting windows.
Any other use is strictly prohibited in order to ensure the
safety of the installer and user at all times, and the correct
performance of the actuator.

(temperature, humidity, wind, snow, potential chemical
agents, etc.) and installation settings (misaligned fitting of
brackets and attachment to the frame, frictions produced
by hinges or gaskets, use of self-balancing window stays,
etc.) it is recommended that they not exceed the actuator
performances shown in the technical table. If they do,
please find an alternative and more suitable product for
your application.
