PROTECTING VEHICLE WHEN PARKED
1.
Park vehicle under cover, if possible to protect against the effects of sun, sand,
and dust. If no shelter is available, cover vehicle with tarpaulins. Ensure
tarpaulins cover the engine compartment and radiator to keep out sand and dust.
Cover window glass to protect against sandblasting.
2.
Check tires for damage and ensure all tires are inflated to proper pressures
(WP 0003).
3.
Check frequently for rust and fungus growth, which are common problems in hot,
humid weather. Clean and lubricate vehicle to help prevent deterioration.
