2�2 Environmental and hygiene principles
When repairing the machines, observe general principles of health and environmental protection as well as laws and regulations re-
lated to this issue and being in force within the territory where the machine is used.
Hygienic principles
• Petroleum products, fillings of cooling systems, battery fillings and paints, including thinners, are harmful substances that can
cause severe injuries when in contact with body organs.
• It is therefore necessary to strictly follow safety and hygiene instructions of products and use personal protective equipment when
handling these substances.
• Workers coming into contact with the above products when repairing the machine are obliged to follow general principles of their
own health protection and comply with safety and hygiene manuals of the manufacturers of the products.
In particular we draw your attention to the following:
- Protect your eyes and skin while working with the batteries.
- Protect your skin while handling petroleum products, coating compounds and coolants.
- Wash your hands properly after finishing the work and before eating, treat your hands with a suitable reparation cream.
- When handling the cooling system, follow the instructions given in the manuals supplied with the machine.
• Always store petroleum products, cooling system fluids, battery fluids and coating compounds including thinners and also clean-
ers and preservative agents in their original and properly labelled containers. These materials are not allowed to be stored in unla-
belled bottles or in any other containers considering the likelihood of confusion. Possible confusion with foodstuffs or beverages
is very dangerous.
• If by accident the skin, eyes or mucous membrane is stained or if you breathe in the vapours of such products, apply immediately
the principles of the first aid. In case of accidental ingestion of these products, immediately seek medical help.
Environmental measures
• Discarded operating fluids of individual systems of the machine and also some of its parts become hazardous wastes with danger-
ous properties for the environment.
This category of waste products includes in particular:
- organic and synthetic lubricating materials, oils and fuels;
- coolants;
- battery cartridges and batteries;
- cleaning and preservative agents;
- all dismounted filters and filter elements,
- all used and discarded hydraulic or fuel hoses, rubber-metals and other parts of the machine contaminated by the above
mentioned products.
• It is necessary to treat the above mentioned materials and parts after they have been discarded in accordance with relevant na-
tional regulations valid for protection of individual parts of the environment and in compliance with health protection regulations.
• When disassembling hydraulic, fuel and cooling systems and their units. Escape of fluids into the ground has to be prevented by
using suitable vessels placed underneath and by plugging of the holes.
• In case of leakage, the affected area must be immediately dried with the use of sawdust, Vapex, etc.
• The affected soil must be removed to prevent further leakage. The contaminated soil and absorbent should then be handed over
for further safe disposal.
