The Ark (excluding the PAPR and associated filters, which may have unique storage requirements) can be stored in its original packaging in a dark, cool, and dust-free environment free from sudden temperature changes. The storage room should be ventilated regularly. Temperatures may vary between -10°C and 50°C with relative humidity up to 80%. The stored Ark should not be exposed to radiant heat or sunshine. Fuels, solvents, lubricants, and other inflammable substances, including chemicals, must not be stored with Ark enclosures.
Moreover, do not store the enclosure with or near any electrical machines or appliances that produce electric sparks or discharges during operation (ozone creation). Failure to properly store this product may reduce its effective shelf life.
