hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response
techniques.

Check the MSDS before you start any job using a
hazardous chemical. That way you will know exactly what
the risks are and how to do the job safely. Then follow
procedures and use recommended equipment.

See your authorized dealer for MSDS’s (available only in
English) on chemical products used with your machine.
Dispose of Waste Properly

environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used
with Kawasaki equipment includes such items as oil, fuel,
coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.

into drinking from them.

any water source.

Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste
from your local environmental or recycling center, or from
your authorized dealer.
