7 Environment
As to the disposal of toxic waste, you must find out the
appropriate methods of disposing of the liquids, materials and
components. The safety bulletins of the various liquids and
materials contain instructions for disposal. You can also
consult the suppliers of components and the product
manufacturer for disposal and sorting.
Problem Waste
Deliver materials that are classified as problem waste, such as
batteries, used filters, plastic parts and other problematic
components, to a problem waste collection point.
Discard the problem waste according to the laws and
environmental regulations that are in effect for the machine's
operating environment.
Oils and Fluids
The main consideration for the environment is to prevent oil
and other toxic liquids from entering ground water and surface
water courses. Even small oil spills can cause significant
damage to water courses. Pay attention to any possible spills
on your machine. Make sure the hoses are in good condition to
prevent unpleasant surprises.
When there is a spillage, absorb the spilled oil in sawdust, for
example, and remove the contaminated sawdust according to
your site instructions. In case of an accident, immediately
contact your supervisor or the person responsible for
environmental issues.
Use appropriate containers, an oil collection basin, a pump, a
hose, etc. when removing oils and other fluids from the
machine. Let companies specializing in recycling of problem
waste take care of discarding the used oils and other fluids.
Pay special attention to fluid leaks. If any oil has leaked onto
the ground, absorb this oil in sawdust or a similar material and
deliver the contaminated sawdust to the problem waste
collection point.
Properly address the cause of the leak and replace damaged
parts before carrying on working with the machine!
Air Conditioning
The refrigerant of the cab's air conditioner accelerates the
greenhouse effect. Refrigerant must not be discharged from
the air conditioning system into the atmosphere.
NOTICE
The air conditioning system must be serviced only by skilled
service personnel qualified to service refrigeration
equipment.
