Disposing of spent fluid
Do not dispose of used oil in sewers, storm
drains, rivers or streams; collect it and con-
sign it to an authorised disposal company.
Fluid leaks or spills
Contain the spilt product from spreading
using soil, sand or any other absorbent
material. The contaminated zone must be
degreased with solvent, taking care not
to allow vapours to form or stagnate, and
the residual material from the cleaning
process must be disposed of as envis-
aged by law.
Precautions for the use of
hydraulic fluid
- Avoid contact with the skin.
- Avoid the formation or spreading of oil
mists in the atmosphere.
- The following fundamental health precau-
tions must therefore be adopted:
• avoid spatters (suitable clothing, pro-
tective shields on machines);
• wash frequently with soap and water;
do not use cleaning products or sol-
vents that irritate the skin or remove
its natural protective oil;
• do not dry your hands using soiled or
greasy rags;
• change your clothes if soaked and, in
any case, at the end of the work shift;
• do not smoke or eat with greasy hands.
- Also adopt the following preventive and
protective equipment:
• mineral oil resistant gloves with plush
lining;
• goggles, in case of spatters;
• mineral oil resistant aprons;
• protective shields, in case of spatters.
