ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Potentially harmful waste used in Manitowoc cranes
includes—but is not limited to—oil, fuel, grease, coolant, air
conditioning refrigerant, filters, batteries, and cloths which
have come into contact with these environmentally harmful
substances.
Handle and dispose of waste according to local, state, and
federal environmental regulations.
When filling and draining crane components, do not pour
waste fluids onto the ground, down any drain, or into any
source of water:
• Always drain waste fluids into leak-proof containers that
are clearly marked with what they contain.
• Always fill or add fluids with a funnel or a filling pump.
• Immediately wipe up any spills.
