# General guidelines for Rubicon products

- Do not store equipment outside for prolonged periods
- Cover stored equipment with plastic covers.
- Where products are supplied on pallets, store the products on those pallets until you are ready to install them.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Pallets should be returned to Rubicon when they are no longer required.

- Take care when moving equipment. Use appropriate lifting gear, handles, or lifting lugs.
- Before moving a pallet, check the integrity of the pallet, particularly if it has been stored outdoors. Ensure that any equipment is firmly secured to the pallet.
- Do not stack equipment (except as described in this document) as this may warp or break fragile components.

# BayDrive

- Store the Baydrive in an upright position undercover to prevent water from entering the housing or any disconnected electrical connectors. Do not store BayDrives outside for prolonged periods.
- Store Baydrives stacked on pallets.
- Take care not to damage the BayDrive lifting arm and motor covers.
- Baydrive rubber door kits are to be stored flat on a pallet with the rubber flaps folded away from the aluminium plate and then stacked plate-to-plate and rubber-to-rubber when stacking
