10.6 End-User Responsibility during Disposal of the
Machine
Always follow local environmental regulations for disposing of waste and for recycling.
A worn out machine must be handled and disposed of in such a way that maximizes the
percentage of recyclable material. The negative impact on the environment must be as low
as possible. If the end user has inadequate knowledge about disposal, a locally-authorized
disposal company must be hired.
The following points must be considered during disposal of the machine:
• All steel structures, copper, and aluminum found in electric cables can be recycled.
• Make sure that fluids are drained and filters are removed and handled in accordance
with local regulations.
• Most plastic parts are recyclable. Check the material type and date marked on each
plastic part to determine if that part can be recycled.
• Rubber parts are not considered as hazardous waste and can be disposed of accord-
ing to local environmental regulations. Hydraulic hoses must be cleaned before they
can be disposed of.
• Electrical components, such as batteries and circuit boards, must be taken to an ap-
proved electrical recycling facility.
• Air conditioning equipment must be taken to an approved recycling facility.
• The windshield and other cab windows must be disposed of as waste, not as normal
glass recycling.
