2.3
GUIDELINES FOR THE DISPOSAL OF
SCRAP PRODUCTS
2.3.1 DURING SERVICE LIFE
Used oil, oil filters and engine coolant are hazardous
materials and should be handled in a safe and
environmentally responsible way.
In the event of a fluid leak, contain the spill to prevent
it entering the ground or drainage system. Local
legislation will dictate how such spills are to treated.
Following the maintenance procedures laid out in this
manual will ensure that the impact the machine has
on the local environment is controlled.
When it has been identified that a turf care product
has no further functional value and requires disposal,
the following actions should be taken.
2.3.2 END OF SERVICE LIFE
These guidelines should be used in conjunction with
applicable Health, Safety and Environmental
legislation and use of approved local facilities for
waste disposal and recycling.
•
Position the machine in a suitable location
for any necessary lifting equipment to be
used.
•
Use appropriate tools and Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and take
guidance from the technical manuals
applicable to the machine.
•
Remove and store appropriately:
1.
Batteries
2. Fuel residue
3. Engine coolant
4. Oils
•
Disassemble the structure of the machine
referring to the technical manuals where
appropriate. Special attention should be
made for dealing with 'stored energy' within
pressurised elements of the machine or
tensioned springs.
•
Any items that still have a useful service life
as second hand components or can be re-
serviced should be separated and returned
to the relevant centre.
