skid and the floor or by adjusting the leveling screws. If it becomes necessary to move equipment, the equipment shall be re-leveled upon relocation.

5.10.4.2 Aisle space. Equipment shall be arranged in storage to provide adequate aisle space for inspection and to provide adequate room for the removal of equipment. The width of aisles should be governed by the size of equipment stored and material handling equipment available for use. When practicable, the aisles should be continuous to promote a straight-line traffic pattern.

5.10.4.3 Attachments and accessories. Boxed and crated attachments and accessories shall be placed on the skid with the related equipment and avoiding contact with preserved surfaces. When the above requirements are not practical, boxed and crated attachments and accessories shall be block-stacked separately from the basic item and properly marked and identified to the item on which they belong. An appropriate notation shall be made on the record of the item to indicate that such attachments and accessories are stored in a particular location and are identified to the item.

5.10.4.4 Dust shields. Dust shields shall be used for covering IPE, attachments, accessories, and components preserved for long-term storage. Dust shields shall be placed over the equipment in a manner that will permit free circulation of air around and under the edges of the shields. All machine projections that could tear the shield(s) shall be wrapped with barrier material conforming to grade A of MIL-PRF-121 or type II of MIL-PRF-22191. If cushioning

material is used, the material shall conform to PPP-C-1797. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) material shall not be used as a wrap, shroud, or cover material. Barrier and cushioning material shall be secured with tape conforming to ASTM D 5486/D 5486M.
