Always lay the container on its side. As indicated by the labels, do not stand it on end.
Do not fold, crease or puncture the walkway, as this will void the warranty.
Never move the walkway without first rolling it up on the supplied drum.
If you decide to allow the walkway to permanently lay on the floor, then make sure you provide adequate protection from rolling heavy equipment over the walkway.
If you decide to allow the walkway to permanently lay on the floor, then make sure you provide adequate signs to warn the floor cleaning personnel to keep a distance while mopping the floors.
If you decide to allow the walkway to permanently lay on the floor, then make sure that the area will not flood during storms. If uncertain, please remove the AC Adaptor from the mains when the walkway is not in use.  
To avoid damaging the sensors heavy objects should not be wheeled across the walkway and only clean relatively flat shoes should be used when walking on the walkway (no high heels or cleats).
