How to Wrap Up and Secure the Equipment

A Simple Guide to Protect Your Equipment from the Weather

 Step 1 - Clean the Equipment First

Clean the equipment before wrapping it up.

• Wipe off dirt, dust, and leftover liquids.
• Cleaning helps the wrap stick better and protects your equipment.

Step 2 - Choose the Right Wrap

 Use strong, waterproof materials.

- Use plastic sheets, tarps, or weatherproof covers.

- Make sure it’s big enough to cover the entire equipment

Step 3 - Wrap the Equipment

Wrap the equipment securely.

• Lay the plastic sheet on the ground.
• Place the equipment in the middle and pull the sheet around it.
• Fold the edges over to cover everything tightly.

Step 4 - Seal the Edges

Secure the wrap with tape or rope.

• Use strong tape or rope to seal the edges.
• Check to make sure the wrap stays in place.

Step 5 - Check for Tightness

Make sure the wrap is snug and won’t come loose.

• Tighten the wrap to avoid slack.
• Ensure the wrap stays in place, even in strong wind.

Step 6 - Add Extra Protection for Wet Weather

Add an extra layer for very wet conditions.

• Cover the wrap with an additional tarp if it’s going to rain or snow heavily.
• Extra layers help protect against leaks or damage.

Step 7 - Store the Equipment in a Safe Spot

Find a safe, sheltered place for the wrapped equipment.

• Store the equipment in a sheltered spot, if possible.
• Keep it off the ground to avoid moisture.
