3.1 Safety and other measures during maintenance of the machine
3.1.3 Environmental and hygiene principles
When operating or maintaining the machines, the user is
obliged to follow general principles of health and environment
protection according to laws, ordinances and regulations in in-
dividual territories when the machine is used.
Hygiene principles
• Petroleum products, cooling system uids, battery uids
and coating compounds including thinners are substances
harmful to health. Workers coming into contact with the
above products during operation or maintenance of the
machine are obliged to follow general principles of their
own health protection and comply with safety and hygienic
manuals made by manufacturers of the products.
• In particular we draw your attention to the following:
• protect your eyes and skin while working with the batteries
• protect your skin while handling petroleum products, coat-
ing compounds and coolants
• wash your hands properly after nishing the work and be-
fore eating, treat your hands with a suitable reparation
cream
• follow instructions given in this manual.
• Always store petroleum products, cooling system uids,
battery uids and coating compounds including thinners
and also cleaners and preservative agents in their original
and properly labelled containers. These materials are not al-
lowed to be stored in unlabelled bottles or in any other con-
tainers considering the possible risk of confusion. Possible
confusion with foodstus or beverages is very dangerous.
• If by accident the skin, eyes or mucous membrane is stained
or if you breathe in the vapours of such products, apply im-
mediately the principles of the rst aid. In case of accidental
ingestion of these products, immediately seek medical help.
• While working with the machine when it is provided with
aplatform or the cab windows are open, always use ear pro-
tectors of suitable type and version.
Environmental principles
The operating uids of the individual systems of the
machine and also some of its parts after discarded (dis-
mounted, exchanged) become hazardous wastes with
dangerous properties for the environment.
• This category of waste products includes in particular:
• organic and synthetic lubricating materials, oils and fuels;
• coolants;
• battery uids and batteries;
• cooling system media;
• cleaning and preservative agents;
• all dismounted lters and lter cartridges,
• all used and discarded hydraulic or fuel hoses, rubber-metal
elements and other parts of the machine contaminated by
the above mentioned products.
It is necessary to treat the above mentioned materials
and parts after they have been discarded in accordance
with relevant national regulations valid for protection of
the environment and in compliance with regulations of
the health protection.
