ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES AND HEALTH PRECAUTIONS
When repairing the machine, observe the general prin-
ciples of health protection and environment protection,
along with all laws, regulations, and guidelines related
to these problems, as applicable to the territory where
the machine is used.
HYGIENE
1. Oil products, coolants, battery acids, and paints
including thinners can be harmful to your health
and they can cause serious injury.
2. It is necessary to always observe safety and health
instructions enclosed with products and use per-
sonal protective aids when handling them.
3. Personnel in contact with these products during
servicing must observe the general principles relat-
ing to conservation and keep in mind safety and
health guidelines as given by manufacturers of
such products, especially the following:
• protect the eyes and skin when working with
batteries,
• protect the skin when handling oil products,
paint, and coolants,
• workers should wash their hands properly after
finishing their work and apply proper healing
hand lotions,
• when working with the cooling system it is nec-
essary to observe the instructions in the manu-
als supplied with the machine.
4. Oil products, coolants, batteries, and paint includ-
ing organic thinners as well as cleaners and pre-
servatives should be always stored in their original
packaging and properly labeled. Do not store such
products in unlabeled bottles and other containers
because there is a danger of confusion. Confusion
with food or drinks is especially dangerous.
5. If your skin or eyes are accidentally splashed or
fumes inhaled, apply first aid immediately. In case
of accidental consumption of such products see
your doctor immediately.
ECOLOGICAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Contents of machine systems and some parts of
the machine, when no longer in use, represent
great risks to the environment.
2. The following products especially belong to this
category:
• both organic and synthetic lubricating materials,
oils and fuel,
• coolants,
• battery acids and batteries themselves,
• cleaning agents and preservatives,
• all removed filters and filter elements,
• all used and discarded hydraulic and fuel hoses,
rubber - metals and the other elements exposed
to the above products.
3. The above parts and materials must be handled,
after they had been discarded, in accordance with
prevailing national/regional regulations on environ-
mental protection and in conformance with direc-
tives relating to health conservation.
4. When hydraulic liquids, fuel, cooling systems and
their components are being removed it is neces-
sary to prevent spillage on the ground by using
retaining vessels and by plugging all openings.
5. In the event of leakage, the contaminated area-
must be immediately dried with sawdust, or similar
absorbing material.
6. Contaminated dirt must be removed to prevent fur-
ther contamination. The soil and absorbing mate-
rial must be disposed of safely.
