surface and cover. Use plastic sheeting or paper.

that have been opened if repairs are not carried 
out immediately.  
      4 - Install only clean parts:  
     
   Do not remove replacement parts from the 
packaging until immediately before they are to 
be installed. 
     
   Do not use parts that have been stored without 
packaging (e.g. in toolboxes, etc.).
