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.
If a battery is being replaced or if the machine containing the
battery is no longer operating and is being scrapped, remove
the battery and take it to a local certified-recycling center.
If no local recycling is available return the battery to any
certified-battery seller.
