1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited
biodegradability. 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, and then
passed on to the appropriate oil waste recycling centre. The container should be kept away
from heat sources, flammable materials and food.
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.
1.7 WITHDRAWAL FROM USE
In the event of decision by the user to withdraw the machine from use, comply with the
regulations in force in the given country concerning withdrawal from use and recycling of
machines withdrawn from use.
Before proceeding to dismantle machine, oil shall be completely removed from hydraulic
system.
When spare parts are changed, worn out or damaged parts should be taken to a collection
point for recyclable raw materials. Waste oil and also rubber and plastic elements should be
taken to establishments undertaking the utilisation of such waste.
ATTENTION
During dismantling personal protection equipment shall be used i.e. protective clothing,
boots, gloves and protective goggles etc.
Avoid contact of skin with oil. Do not allow used oil to spill.
