1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited
biodegradability. Because of the low solubility of oil in water, it is not highly toxic to living
organisms. An oil leak into water reservoirs may however lead to a reduction of the oxygen
content. While carrying out maintenance and repair work, which involves the risk of an oil
leak, this work should take place on an oil resistant floor or surface. In the event of oil leaking
into the environment, first of all contain the source of the leak, and then collect the leaked oil
using available means. Remaining oil should be collected using sorbents, or by mixing the oil
with sand, sawdust or other absorbent materials. The oil pollution, once gathered up, should
be kept in a sealed, marked, hydrocarbon resistant container. The container should be kept
away from heat sources, flammable materials and food.
DANGER
Used hydraulic oil or gathered remains mixed with absorbent material should be stored in
a precisely marked container. Do not use food packaging for this purpose.
Oil, which has been used up or is unsuitable for further use owing to a loss of its properties
should be stored in its original packaging in the conditions described above. Waste oil should
be taken to the appropriate facility dealing with the re-use of this type of waste. Waste code:
13 01 10. Detailed information concerning hydraulic oil may be found on the product's
Material Safety Data Sheet.
TIP
The hydraulic system of the manure spreader is filled with L-HL32 Lotos hydraulic oil.
IMPORTANT
Waste oil should only be taken to the appropriate facility dealing with the re-use of this
type of waste. Do NOT throw or pour oil into sewerage or water tanks.
