Waste Disposal

Motor Oil Disposal
Engine oil and hydraulic oil are both pollutants to the
environment. Dispose of used oil at a certified recycling
center or according to your state and local regulations.
Battery Disposal
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 safety glasses 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 must be within
relevant federal, state, or local laws.
If a battery is being replaced or if the unit containing the
battery is no longer operating and is being scrapped, take
the battery to a local certified recycling center. If no local
recycling is available return the battery to any certified battery
reseller.
