Protection of Environment from Chemical Dangers
WARNING
Gasoline and engine oil are chemicals,
which can contaminate the environment.
If they are spilled during filling and reach
the water, they can cause damage to the
environment, e.g., death of fish. For such
damage, the party responsible is liable!
Therefore, gasoline and engine oil must
not get into the sewage system, streams,
rivers or other surface water. For that
reason, immediately remove the dripped
off or spilled gasoline or engine oil with
appropriate means and dispose of these
means according to the regulations.
DANGER
HPP fuels are combustible. Inspect the
aerial platform in an open, well-ventilated
area away from heaters, sparks and
flames. Always have an approved fire
extinguisher within easy reach.
DANGER
Failure to detect and correct fuel leaks
will result in an unsafe condition. An
explosion or fuel fire may cause death or
serious injury.
