# How do I protect the MFC wedge when not in use?

The MFC coupling’s drawbar wedge does not need any special protection. Just make sure that it is free of ice and dirt before connecting it. In the event that the trailer will be parked for a long time, you can protect the wedge from dirt by covering it with the MFC protective pouch, which is available as an accessory.
