Storage
After the parts have been cleaned, dried and
inspected, they must be assembled immediately
or covered with a film of oil as specified in
Section 6 for the purpose of preventing oxidation.
The parts that are to be stored or packed must be
covered with a coating of oil or any antioxidant
and kept in closed boxes or wrapped for
protection from dust, moisture or rust (except
for components already protected by paint, etc.).
