Mercury Tilt Switch Disposal - Toro Z Master Z147 Operator's Manual

Mercury Tilt Switch Disposal

Several states have passed laws concerning the disposal of
devices containing mercury. In all the remaining states it
is advisable to follow similar procedures. The laws state
that these sealed devices contain mercury and should not
be placed in the garbage until the mercury is removed and
reused, recycled or otherwise managed to insure that it
does not become part of solid waste or waters.
Management and disposal practices must be within
relevant federal, state or local laws.
Return the switch to your Toro dealer if it is faulty and is
being replaced or if the unit containing the switch is no
longer operating and is being scrapped. If the switch is
damaged or broken open use extreme caution in handling.
Call your local waste management authority or Toro
Customer Service for instructions.
Caution
The mercury contained in the tilt switch is
poisonous and exposure to mercury can cause
severe illness.
Never attempt to open or repair the tilt
switch.
Avoid contact with the mercury.
