3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.10 GUIDELINES FOR THE DISPOSAL
OF SCRAP PRODUCTS
When it has been identified that a turf care
product has no further functional value and
requires disposal, the following actions should
be taken.
These guidelines should be used in conjunction
with applicable Health, Safety and
Environmental legislation and use of approved
local facilities for waste disposal and recycling.
• Position the machine in a suitable
location for any necessary lifting
equipment to be used.
• Use appropriate tools and Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and take
guidance from the technical manuals
applicable to the machine.
• Remove and store appropriately:
1. Batteries
2. Fuel residue
3. Engine coolant
4. Oils
• Disassemble the structure of the
machine referring to the technical
manuals where appropriate. Special
attention should be made for dealing
with 'stored energy' within pressurised
elements of the machine or tensioned
springs.
• Any items that still have a useful
service life as second hand
components or can be re-serviced
should be separated and returned to
the relevant centre.
