Storing the PC

Is there a correct/incorrect way to store the PC and pads? The pads, I ASSume are self explanitory, (not on the sides, dry, clean...) but the PC? With flex plate on or off? If on, plate up or down? On it's side? To some this is probably a "trivial" question, but to a "noob" that just dropped $150, I don't want to ruin it.


TIA


Robert

Re: Storing the PC

The PC is a rugged machine. I don't think you can damage it no matter how you store it. I alway's remove my bp because I store it in a tool box. Remember when drying your pads to have the velcro side up so moisture will not collect between the foam and velcro.

Re: Storing the PC

I leave all of my machines laying on their back. Pads I store in a rubbermaid container.

Re: Storing the PC

My pads are in a storage bin, PC and UDM are kept in a small Sears tool box.

Exactly where mine are stored except change tool box to tool bag.

Re: Storing the PC

I was just worried that if I stored the PC on it's side with the backing plkate on, it would flat spot, ot warp the backing plate. I like the idea of a dedicated small toolbox. I'll get one today. Thanks for all the help.
