Waste Disposal

Chemical Disposal
Improper chemical disposal can pollute the
environment and cause health issues.
Follow the disposal directions on the
chemical-manufacturer's label. Dispose of
chemicals and containers in accordance to
local/state/federal laws.
Disposing of the Engine Oil
Engine oil and hydraulic fluid are both pollutants to
the environment. Dispose of used pollutants at a
certified-recycling center or according to your state
and local regulations.
Disposing of the Battery
DANGER
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid,
which is poisonous and can cause severe
burns. Swallowing electrolyte can be fatal or
if it touches skin can cause severe burns.
• Wear eye protection to shield eyes, and
rubber gloves to protect skin and clothing
when handling electrolyte.
• Do not swallow electrolyte.
• In the event of an accident, flush with water
and call a doctor immediately.
Federal law states that batteries should not be placed
in the garbage. Management and disposal practices
for batteries must follow relevant federal, state, or
local laws.
Take the battery to a local certified-recycling center
if you replace a worn or damaged battery or if the
machine no longer operates and is being scrapped.
Note:
If no local recycling is available, return the
battery to any certified battery seller.
