Instructions provided are tailored for right-handed individuals.
Single Member Covering:
- Position folded cover over the left forearm and hold the bottom fold with the left hand.
- Use the right hand to grasp top folds while keeping the palm down.
- Swing the right arm to allow folds to settle on the back of the hand.
- Elevate the left arm and throw the cover with a shot-put motion, ensuring it drapes over the object.
- Tuck the bottom edges to prevent obstructing walkways and facilitate water drainage.

Two-Member Operations

Counter Pay-Off Method:
- One member holds the cover with both forearms while the second pulls the top fold taut walking backward.
- Maintains tension with the forearms to keep the cover elevated.
- Carefully lower the cover onto the center of the counter and let it unfold over the sides.

Removing Salvage Covers

Two individuals grasp opposite ends of the cover.
Fold both sides to the top of the counter, repeating this process on each side.
Take positions at one end to lift the cover, walk forward while making folds.
Once nearing the end, lap the cover over folds and pivot to place it over a shoulder.
