The
PGE
antifreeze
used
in
the
CS705
is
biodegradable
and
generally
considered
to
be
environmentally
safe.
However,
local
laws,
regulations,
or
policies
may
require
the
collection
and
safe
disposal
of
all
antifreeze
used
in
the
CS705.
The
#
14087
funnel
should
be
installed
with
the
CM270
mounting
kit
and
attached
to
user-supplied
0.5-inch
(I.D.)
vinyl
or
Tygon
tubing
that
drains
into
a
user-supplied
pail.
Please
dispose
of
all
spent
antifreeze
solution
in
accordance
with
local,
state,
and
federal
regulations.
The
CS705
is
recommended
only
for
use
during
winter.
It
should
be
removed,
cleaned,
and
carefully
stored
after
the
last
snowfall,
then
reinstalled
prior
to
the
first
snowfall
of
the
coming
winter.
