7 Recycling
Most of the materials used in the device are recyclable. When the device is no longer usable, it should be
disassembled and recycled properly. Recycling should be done by a specialist company, and parts of the
equipment should not be disposed of with unsorted landfill waste.
Pre-treatment and storage
If the device has a battery, it should be removed after use (Note: Also remove the hand controller batteries).
Oils must be removed from the hydraulic system and dispose these oils in an appropriate waste processing
plant.
The gas spring must be depressurized and the oils removed before being collected to metal waste.
Disassembly of the product into components
Disassemble the product into components, and sort different materials before recycling:
METAL WASTE: frame, screws, nails, hinges, springs, etc.
ENERGY WASTE (combustible waste): solid wood and other wood-based materials, particle board, etc., which
are not forbidden to burn (PVC must not be disposed of by burning, because the burning process produces
highly toxic fumes).
SER WASTE (electrical and electronic waste): hand controller, all wires, motors, etc.
MIXED WASTE: plastic parts (wheels), upholstery and other parts where materials cannot be separated. PVC
waste is sent separately to a waste center or to a sorting station. PVC plastic is known from the sign below,
material number 03.
The pre-treated and sorted materials are delivered to special collection points. Always follow regional and
collection point specific instructions. Recycling can significantly reduce soil waste.
