1.9 Prevention of accidents
Do no allow unauthorised personnel to work on or operate the vehicle.
It is forbidden to use the vehicle if its safety devices have been tampered with or damaged.
The structures and devices fitted to the vehicles must comply with the current regulations concerning
the prevention of accidents and safety regulations in force in the countries where the vehicle is to be
used.
All the precautions dictated by technical awareness must be adopted to prevent malfunction and functional defects.
Compliance with these regulation s will be the responsibility o f the manufacturers of the structures and devices.
!
Components such as seats, coverings, linings, protective panels etc. may represent a potential fire haz-
ard if they are exposed to an intense heat source.
Arrange for their removal before working with welding equipment and flames.
1.10 Choice of material to use: Ecology - Recycling
Increasingly greater attention sh ould be paid, at the study an d design stage, to the ch oice of materials to be used.
This is especially the case as regards the aspects connected with ecology and recycling in the light of domestic an d international
regulations that are constant ly being developed in th e sector.
In this connection:
- everyone must be aware of the prohibitions on using harmful or potentially hazardous materials, such as ones c ontaining asbestos,
lead, halogen additives, fluoroc arbons, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chrome, etc.
- Use materials whose processing produc es limited waste and th at permit easy recycling after th eir first u se.
- With composite sy n t h etic materials, use components th at are compatible with each other, envisaging also their possible utiliz-
ation with the addition of other salvaged components. Affix the markings required in compliance with the curren t regulations.
- Batteries cont ain s ubstances that are very ha zardous to th e enviro nment. When replacing batteries, we advise contactin g the
service network, which is suitably equipped for battery disposal in compliance with environmental policies and laws.
In order to comply with EC directive 2000/53 (ELVs), IVECO S.p.A. prohibits fitting parts containing
lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chrome to vehicles (except for the departures referred to in
Attachment II of the above directive).
