1.6 Environmental legislation
When operating or working with the machine,
applicable legislation for the protection of the
environment must be observed at all times.
When performing repair and maintenance
work, special care must be taken to ensure
that environmentally harmful substances such
as
 grease and lubricating oil
 Hydraulic fluid
 fuel
 coolant
 battery acid
 liquid detergents containing solvents
do not seep into the ground or the sewerage
system.
These substances must be collected, kept,
transported and disposed of in suitable con-
tainers.
If the aforementioned fluids seep into the
ground, they must be immediately prevented
from leaking and the fluid must be removed
using suitable binding agents. It might prove
necessary to excavate the area of soil affect-
ed. Binding agents and excavated soil must
be disposed of properly. Compliance with ap-
plicable environmental regulations is manda-
tory.
