b. Storage Site.
(1) Select the best available site for storage. Separate stored equipment from equipment in use. Conspicuously
mark the area "Administrative Storage."
(2) Covered space is preferable. Open sites should be improved hardstand, if available.
Unimproved sites
should be firm, well-drained, and kept free of excessive vegetation.
c. Storage Plan.
(1) Store equipment so as to provide maximum protection from the elements and to provide access for
inspection, maintenance, and exercising.
(2) Take into account environmental conditions, such as extreme heat or cold; high humidity; blowing sand, dust,
or loose debris; soft ground; and take adequate precautions.
d. Maintenance Services and Inspection.
(1) Prior to storage, perform the next scheduled major preventive maintenance checks and services. Inspect and
approve equipment.
(2) Correct all shortcomings and deficiencies. Clean the equipment of dirt, grease, and other contaminants.
(3) Remove rust and damaged paint by scraping, wire brushing, sanding, or buffing. Sand to a smooth finish and
spot paint, as necessary.
(4) After cleaning and drying, immediately coat unpainted surfaces with an oil or grease as appropriate.
(5) Install all covers; close and secure all openings except those required for venting and draining. Seal
openings to prevent entry of rain, snow, or dust. Place equipment and provide adequate blocking to allow for draining of
water.
