Waste Oil and Fluids
Waste oil and uids drained
from the engine and hydraulic
system during normal
maintenance and repair can
present a disposal problem.
To avoid pouring them on the
ground or into the sewage
system, pour the used uids
into large containers, seal them
and take them to an authorized
disposal or recycling center.
Fasteners
All threaded fasteners should
be clean and straight, with
undamaged threads and
undamaged corners on the
hex heads.
It is a good habit to replace
all damaged fasteners when
performing maintenance, never
reuse a damaged fastener.
Special locknuts with nylon
inserts can only be used once.
If they are removed, they lose
their locking ability and must
be replaced.
Rusted nuts and bolts should
be treated with a penetrating
fluid to ease removal and
prevent breakage. Badly
rusted fasteners may have to
be chiseled, sawed or torched
off.
Flat washers and lockwashers,
when removed from an
assembly, should always be
replaced exactly as removed.
When replacing nuts and bolts,
be sure to use the correct
grade. Never use a different
grade of bolt than the original
equipment.
Any nuts and bolts that are
torqued can only be used once.
If they are removed, replace
them with new nuts and bolts.
