freezing at anytime during the storage period, make
sure the engine coolant is either completely drained
from the radiator and engine block or that the
amount of anti-freeze in the system is adequate to
keep the coolant from freezing.

lumber laid on flat level ground or on a concrete slab
and cover with a tarp.
