When the life cycle of this equipment is over, it is recommended that the screed frame
and all other metal parts be sent to a recycling center.
Metal recycling involves the collection of metal from discarded products and its trans-
formation into raw
materials to use in manufacturing a new product.
Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the process of recycling metal. Using a
metal recycling center promotes energy cost savings.
The gasoline engine used in this equipment has been designed to reduce harmful levels of carbon monoxide (CO), hydro-
carbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) contained in diesel exhaust emissions.
This engine has been certifi ed to meet US EPA Evaporative emissions requirements in the installed configuration. Attempt -
ing to modify or make adjustments to the engine emission system by unauthorized personnel without proper training could
damage the equipment or create an unsafe condition.
Additionally, modifying the fuel system may adversely affect evaporative emissions, resulting in fines or other penalties.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely retire a piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable. If the
equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable safety risk due to wear or
damage or is no longer cost effective to maintain (beyond life-cycle reliability) and is to be
decommissioned (demolition and dismantlement), be sure to follow rules below.
DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto the ground, down a drain or into any water source.
Contact your country’s Department of Public Works or recycling agency in your area and arrange for proper disposal of any
electrical components, waste or oil associated with this equipment.
