Disposal of batteries
The machine contains one or more batteries or rechargeable batteries (hereinafter referred to as "the
battery"). Professional disposal of the battery prevents negative effects on individuals and the
environment, follows the specific treatment of pollutants, and ensures the recycling of useful raw
materials.
For customers in EU countries
This battery is subject to the European Directive on (old) batteries and (old) rechargeable batteries, and
the respective national laws. The battery directive outlines the framework for an EU-wide treatment of
batteries.
The battery is marked with the following symbol of a crossed-out garbage bin. Below this
symbol, there is also the designation of the pollutants contained therein, i.e. "Pb" for lead,
"Cd" for cadmium, and "Hg" for mercury.
Batteries may not be disposed of with normal household waste!
End-users may only
dispose of used batteries via the manufacturer and the dealer or specially equipped
collection facilities (statutory obligation to return); the delivery is free. Retailers and manufacturers are
obliged to take back these batteries and properly recycle them or dispose of them as hazardous waste
(legal obligation).
Batteries obtained through Wacker Neuson can be returned to Wacker Neuson free of charge after use.
If the batteries cannot be personally returned to a Wacker Neuson branch, there are instructions in the
sales contract or in the Terms and Conditions of the location where they were purchased.
For customers in other countries
Wacker Neuson recommends that you do not dispose of the battery in normal household waste but
rather in a separate, environmentally friendly collection facility. National laws may also have regulations
for the separate disposal of batteries. Disposal of the battery in accordance with current national
guidelines must be assured.
