NOTICE
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely
retire a piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable.
If the equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable
safety risk due to wear or damage or is no longer cost
effective to maintain (beyond life-cycle reliability) and is to
be decommissioned (demolition and dismantlement), be
sure to follow the rules below:
„ NEVER pour waste or oil directly onto the ground, down
a drain, or into any water source.
„ Contact your country's Department of Public
Works or recycling agency in your area and
arrange for proper disposal of any electrical
components, waste or oil associated with
this equipment.
„ When the life cycle of this equipment is over, remove
the battery and bring it to an appropriate facility for lead
reclamation. Use safety precautions when handling
batteries that contain sulfuric acid.
