17. Environmental protection
Clippings should be composted
and not disposed of in
household waste.
The machine, its packaging and
accessories are all produced
from recyclable materials and must be
disposed of accordingly.
By disposing of materials separately, and
in an environmentally friendly manner,
valuable resources can be re-used. For
this reason, the machine should be
disposed of for recycling at the end of its
useful life.
Waste products such as used oil (engine
oil, gearbox oil), fuel and batteries must
always be disposed of properly. Observe
local regulations.
Remove the battery before disposing of
the machine.
Do not dispose of the battery with
domestic waste, but hand it in to a
specialist dealer or at a hazardous waste
collection point.
Consult your recycling centre or your
specialist dealer for information on the
proper disposal of waste products.
VIKING recommends VIKING specialist
dealers.
