• Rack rail tightening: Periodically check 10-32 steel rack rails and screws to prevent vibration loosening during transport.
• Impact inspection: After flights or rough handling, inspect corners and lid edges for stress marks or cracks.
• Pressure/vent check: Keep any pressure equalization features clear for smooth lid operation.
• Storage: Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to reduce UV aging and material fatigue.
