age. Use the checklist that applies to the storage condi-
tions you anticipate. These checklists do not include
every detail required, and you may want to expand
them to suit your needs. Contact your dealer for addi-
tional suggestions suitable to your climate and storage
conditions, particularly extremes of hot and cold.
