Why should gladhands be stored properly when not in use?

  1. To reduce air leakage

  2. To keep them clean and in good condition

  3. To maintain temperature

  4. To avoid detection

The correct answer is: To keep them clean and in good condition

Gladhands should be stored properly when not in use to keep them clean and in good condition. Option A, reducing air leakage, may be a byproduct of proper storage, but it is not the main reason for doing so. Option C, maintaining temperature, is not relevant as gladhands are not temperature-sensitive items. Option D, avoiding detection, is not a valid reason for storing gladhands properly.
