required, fasten screws while applying the fastening torques as indicated in
chapter <Assembly>.

only.
11.3 Disposal and recycling
AUMA devices have a long lifetime. However, they have to be replaced at one point
in time.The devices have a modular design and may, therefore, easily be separated
and sorted according to materials used, i.e.:
●
electronic scrap
●
various metals
●
plastics
●
greases and oils
The following generally applies:
●
Greases and oils are hazardous to water and must not be released into the
environment.
●
Arrange for controlled waste disposal of the disassembled material or for sepa-
rate recycling according to materials.

Observe the national regulations for waste disposal.
