(1) Store equipment so as to provide maximum protection from the elements and to provide access for inspection, maintenance, and exercising. Anticipate removal or deployment problems and take suitable precautions. (2) Take Into consideration environmental conditions, such as extreme heat and cold; high humidity; blowing sand, dust, or loose debris; soft ground; mud; heavy snows; or combinations thereof, and take adequate precautions. (3) Establish a fire plan and provide for adequate firefighting equipment and personnel. c. Maintenance  Services  and  lnspection. (1) Maintenance Services. Prior to storage, perform the next scheduled organizational PMCS. (2) Inspection. Inspect and approve the equipment prior to storage. Do not place equipment in storage If in a nonmission-capable condition. d. Auxiliary Equipment and Basic Issue Items. (1)  Process  auxiliary  and  basic  issue  items  simultaneously  with  the  major  item  to  which  they  are assigned. (2) If possible, store auxiliary and basic issue items with the major item. (3) If stored apart from the major item, mark auxiliary and basic issue items with tags indicating the major item, its registration or serial number and location, and store in protective type closures. In addition, place a tag or list indicating the location of the removed items in a conspicuous place on the major item. e. Correction  of  Shortcomings  and  Deficiencies.  Correct  all  shortcomings  and  deficiencies  prior  to storage, or obtain a deferment from the approving authority. f. Lubrication.  Lubricate equipment in accordance with instructions in Chapter 3, Section I. g. General Cleaning, Painting, and Preservation. CAUTION Do not direct water or steam, under pressure, against unsealed electrical systems or any exterior opening. Failure to follow this caution may result In damage to equipment. (1) Cleaning.  Clean  the  equipment  of  dirt,  grease,  and  other  contaminants,  but  do  not  use  vapor decreasing. (2) Painting. Remove rust and damaged paint by scraping, wire brushing, sanding, or buffing. Sand to a smooth finish and spot paint as necessary (TB 43-0209). (3) Preservation.  After cleaning and drying, immediately coat unpainted metal surfaces with oil or grease, as appropriate (Chapter 3, Section l). CAUTION Place a piece of barrier material (Item 2, Appendix E) between desiccant bags and metal  surfaces. NOTE Air  circulation  under  draped  covers  reduces  deterioration  from  moisture  or  heat. (4) Weatherproofing.  Sunlight, heat, moisture (humidity), and dirt tend to accelerate deterioration. Install all covers (including vehicle protective closures) authorized for the equipment. Close and secure all openings except those required for venting and draining. Seal openings to prevent the entry of rain, snow, or dust. Insert desiccant when complete seal is required. Place equipment and provide blocking or framing to allow for ventilation and water drainage. Support cover away from item surfaces which may rust, rot, or mildew. 4-231
