Disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment
Fig. 34: Crossed out waste bin
For customers in EU countries
The Power 48-5000 is subject to European Directive 2012/19/EU relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), and to the corresponding national laws.
Here, the WEEE Directive forms the basis for handling waste electrical equipment
across the whole of the EU. The Power 48-5000 is marked with the symbol of a
crossed-out waste bin, see "Fig. 34: Crossed out waste bin" . Waste electrical and
electronic equipment must not be disposed of as normal household waste, because
this could allow entry of pollutants to the environment which have effects injurious
to health on humans, animals, and plants, and which build up in the food chain and
in the environment. In addition, valuable raw materials are lost in this way. Please
therefore direct your waste equipment for separate collection in an environmentally-
friendly way; to do so, contact your Torqeedo Service team or boat builder.
For customers in other countries
The Power 48-5000 is subject to European Directive 2012/19/EU relating to
waste electrical and electronic equipment. We recommend that the system is not
discarded as normal household waste, but is disposed of via separate collection in
an environmentally friendly way. Your national laws may also prescribe this. Please
therefore ensure appropriate disposal of the system as per the regulations which
apply in your country.
Disposal of batteries
Remove waste batteries immediately, and comply with the following specific
disposal information relating to batteries or battery systems:
For customers in EU countries
Batteries are subject to European directive 2006/66/EC relating to (waste) batteries,
as well as to the corresponding national laws. Here the Battery Directive forms the
basis for handling batteries throughout the EU. Our batteries and accumulators
are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out waste bin, see "Fig. 34: Crossed out
waste bin" . The designation of the pollutants contained, i.e. "Pb" for Lead, "Cd" for
Cadmium, and "Hg" for Mercury, is located beneath this symbol. Waste batteries
and waste accumulators may not be disposed of through regular household waste,
because pollutants that have harmful effects on the health of humans, animals and
plants may discharge into the environment and accumulate in the food chain or
environment. In addition, valuable raw materials are lost in this way. Please therefore
dispose of your waste batteries and waste accumulators exclusively via specially
set-up collection points, your dealer, or the manufacturer. There is no charge for
handing them in.
For customers in other countries
Batteries are subject to European directive 2006/66/EC regarding (spent) batteries.
The batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed out waste bin, see "Fig. 34:
Crossed out waste bin" . The designation of the pollutants contained, i.e. "Pb" for
Lead, "Cd" for Cadmium, and "Hg" for Mercury, is located beneath this symbol. We
recommend that the batteries are not discarded as normal household waste, but are
