PREPARATION FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT

GENERAL

See WP0006 for removal instructions.

Condenser cover should be untied, unrolled over back of condenser assembly and secured with snap

fasteners to protect openings, valves, and meter.

Condensate drains, one each side, should be cleaned out with gage brush. They should be plugged with

original pipe plugs, if available, or covered with tape to prevent entrance of foreign objects and insects.

ADMINISTRATIVE STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT

Administrative storage is short-term storage-1 to 45 days. It covers storage of equipment, which can be

readied for mission performance within 24 hours. Before placing an item in administrative storage, the

next scheduled preventive maintenance checks and services should be performed, all known deficiencies

corrected and all current modification work orders applied. The administrative storage site should

provide required protection from the elements and allow access for visual inspection when applicable.

INTERMEDIATE STORAGE

Storage of 46 to 180 days. No special handling is required other than protection from damage and the

elements. Place the air conditioner in a dry, covered area.

LONG-TERM OR FLYABLE STORAGE

There is no time limit for this type of storage.

Bolt the air conditioner to a wood skid base. If the original shipping skid base was kept, use it. If not,

fabricate a new one.

Wrap the air conditioner with two layers of heavy plastic sheet or barrier paper.

Tape and strap the wrapping in place.
