Foreword

Soil, air, and water are vital factors of agriculture and life in general. Where legislation does not yet rule the treatment
of some of the substances which are required by advanced technology, common sense should govern the use and
disposal of products of a chemical and petrochemical nature.
The following are recommendations which may be of assistance:
• Become acquainted with and ensure that you understand the relative legislation applicable to your country.
• Where no legislation exists, obtain information from suppliers of oils, filters, batteries, fuels, antifreeze, cleaning
agents, etc., with regard to their effect on man and nature and how to safety store, use and dispose of these sub-
stances. Agricultural consultants will, in many cases, be able to help you as well.
Helpful Hints
• Avoid filling tanks using unsuitable containers or inappropriate pressurized fuel delivery systems that may cause
spillages.
• If you are exposed to or come in contact with hazardous chemicals you can be seriously injured. The fluids, lubri-
cants, paints, adhesives, coolant, etc. required for the function of your machine can be hazardous. They may be
attractive and harmful to domestic animals, as well as humans.
• Dispose of all fluids, filters, and containers in an environmentally-safe manner and according to local laws and
regulations. Check with local environmental and recycling centers or your dealer for correct disposal information.
Store fluids and filter in accordance with local laws and regulations. Use only appropriate containers for the storage
of chemicals or petrochemical substances.
• Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contaminated fuels and/ or waste oils in ordinary heating systems.
• Avoid spillage when draining off used engine coolant mixtures, engine, gear box and hydraulic oils, brake fluids,
etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids or fuels with lubricants. Store them safely until they can be disposed of in a
proper way to comply with local legislation and available resources.
• Modern coolant mixtures, i.e., antifreeze and other additives, should be replaced every two years. They should not
be allowed to get into the soil but should be collected and disposed of safely.
• The air-conditioning system contains gases that are harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere.
Do not attempt to service or repair the system. Your dealer or air conditioning specialist has a special extractor for
this purpose and will be able to recharge the system in any case.
• Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or hydraulic system immediately.
• Do not increase the pressure in a pressurized circuit as this could cause the components to explode.
• Protect hoses during welding as penetrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them, causing the loss of
oils, coolant, etc.
• Keep out of reach of children or other unauthorized persons. Additional precautions are required for applied chem-
icals. Obtain complete information from the manufacturer or distributor of the chemicals before you use them.
