2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Ecology and the environment
Soil, air, and water quality is important for all industries and life in general. When legislation does not yet rule the
treatment of some of the substances that advanced technology requires, sound judgment should govern the use and
disposal of products of a chemical and petrochemical nature.
NOTE: the following are recommendations that may be of assistance:
• Familiarize yourself with the relative legislation applicable to your country, and make sure that you understand this
legislation.
• Where no legislation exists, obtain information from suppliers of oils, filters, batteries, fuels, anti-freeze, cleaning
agents, etc., with regard to the effect of these substances on man and nature and how to safely store, use, and
dispose of these substances. Your CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer can also provide assistance.
Helpful hints
• Avoid the use of cans or other inappropriate pressurized fuel delivery systems to fill tanks. Such delivery systems
may cause considerable spillage.
• In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils, acids, solvents, etc. Most of these products contain substances
that may be harmful to your health.
• Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contaminated fuels and or waste oils in ordinary heating systems.
• Avoid spillage when you drain fluids such as used engine coolant mixtures, engine oil, hydraulic fluid, brake fluid,
etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids or fuels with lubricants. Store all drained fluids safely until you can dispose of
the fluids in a proper way that complies with all local legislation and available resources.
• Do not allow coolant mixtures to get into the soil. Collect and dispose of coolant mixtures properly.
• Do not open the air-conditioning system yourself. It contains gases that should not be released into the atmosphere.
Your CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer or air-conditioning specialist has a special extractor for this purpose and can
recharge the system properly.
• Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling system or hydraulic system immediately.
• Do not increase the pressure in a pressurized circuit as this may lead to a component failure.
• Protect hoses during welding. Penetrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken hoses, allowing the loss of oils,
coolant, etc.
Battery recycling
Batteries and electric accumulators contain several sub-
stances that can have a harmful effect on the environ-
ment if the batteries are not properly recycled after use.
Improper disposal of batteries can contaminate the soil,
groundwater, and waterways. CASE CONSTRUCTION
strongly recommends that you return all used batteries to
a CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer, who will dispose of the
used batteries or recycle the used batteries properly. In
some countries, this is a legal requirement.
