fluorescent lights for prolonged periods. Nylon material is subject to deterioration under ultraviolet
light.

location protected from pilferage, dampness, fire, dirt, insects, rodents, and direct sunlight.
8. Canopies should be slowly removed from water immersion by tail section first so water will drain from
the open cells and not warp the construction.
