Even though the hand crank is automatically disengaged, it should ___ when it is not being used to prevent it from flying free and injuring someone.

Even when the crank is disengaged, it can become a dangerous projectile if the setup moves or is jolted. Removing the crank when it isn’t in use eliminates the possibility that it could fly loose and injure someone. Lubricating or painting won’t prevent movement or injuries, and leaving it in place keeps a potential hazard in the path of people or gear. After use, store the crank in a secure location to keep walkways clear and safe.
