Where no legislation exists, obtain information from suppliers of oils, fuels, antifreeze, cleaning agents, etc. for
their effect on man and nature and for safe ways of storage, usage and disposal. Agricultural consultants will,
in many cases, be able to help you as well.
HELPFUL HINTS
Avoid filling fuel tanks using jerrycans or inappropriate pressurized fuel delivery systems which may cause
considerable spillage.
In general, avoid skin contact with all oils, acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain substances which can be
harmful to your health.
Use only oil which is meeting the quality requirements of this manual.
Use biodegradable oils for chain lubrication where oils cannot be recuperated. In many countries rapeseed oils
or other agro-based lubricants have become available.
Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contaminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating systems.
Avoid spillage when draining off used engine coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic oils, brake fluids,
etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids, fuels or coolant mixtures with lubricants. Store them safely until they can
be disposed of in a proper way to comply with local legislation and available resources. They should not be
allowed to get into the soil but should be collected and disposed of safely.
Do not open the air-conditioning system yourself; it contains gasses, which should not be released into the air.
Your dealer has a special extractor for this purpose and will have to do the recharging of the system anyway.
Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or the hydraulic system immediately.
Do not increase the pressure in a pressurized circuit as this may lead to bursting of the components.
Protect hoses and wiring harnesses during welding as penetrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken
them, causing the loss of oils, coolant, short circuits etc.
Battery recycling
Batteries and electric accumulators contain various components which can damage the environment if they are
not properly recycled after usage. CASEIH strongly recommends that you return all used batteries (starting
batteries and small ”dry” batteries which may be used in electric or electronic systems) to your CASEIH dealer
who will ensure proper disposal or recycling. In certain countries this is a legal requirement.
