Ecology And The Environment - New Holland T4.75F Operator's Manual

Ecology and the Environment

Soil, air and water are essential elements for agriculture
and for life in general. If local legislation does not con-
trol the treatment of certain substances, the production
of which is necessitated by advanced technologies, prod-
ucts derived from chemical and petrochemical products
must be used and disposed of according to the rules of
common sense.
The following recommendations may be of help:
• Find out what the relevant legislation in your country
stipulates.
• Ask your suppliers of lubricants, oils, fuels, antifreeze,
detergents, etc. for information on the effects of these
products on humans and the environment and for in-
structions concerning their use, storage and disposal.
In many cases, local agricultural consultants will be
able to provide assistance.
Suggestions
1. Avoid using unsuitable, pressurised filling systems
or fuel cans when filling tanks, as these may cause
considerable spillage and leakage of liquids.
2. As a general rule, do not allow liquid fuels, lubricants,
acids, solvents, etc., to come into contact with the
skin. The majority of these products contain sub-
stances that are potential health hazards.
3. Modern lubricants contain additives. Do not burn
contaminated fuel oils and/or oils used in conven-
tional heating systems.
4. Avoid spillage when transferring used engine cooling
liquids, engine and transmission lubricants, hydraulic
oils, brake fluids, etc. Never mix used brake oil with
fuel oil, or fuel oil with lubricants. Store safely until
1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
suitable disposal can be arranged according to na-
tional legislation or local regulations.
5. Modern anti-freeze liquids and solutions, e.g. anti-
freeze and other additives, must be replaced every
two years. They must not be left to be absorbed into
the ground, but must be collected and disposed of in
a suitable manner.
6. Do not open the air conditioning systems to carry out
work. These systems contain gas that must not be
released into the atmosphere. Contact your dealer
or specialised personnel, who are equipped with the
appropriate equipment and are authorised to re-fill
the system.
7. Any leakage or defect in the engine cooling or hy-
draulic systems must be repaired immediately.
8. Do not increase the pressure in pressurised systems,
as this may cause component parts to burst.
9. When welding, make sure that hoses are properly
protected as sparks or molten material may puncture
or weaken the tubes and sleeves, resulting in leak-
age of oil, cooling liquid, etc.
10. Do not adjust the setting of the fuel delivery system
as this will alter the emission of exhaust fumes.
NOTICE: The fuel system and engine on your machine
are designed and built to government emissions stan-
dards. Tampering by dealers, customers, operators and
users is strictly prohibited by law. Failure to comply could
result in government fines, rework charges, invalid war-
ranty, legal action and possible confiscation of the ma-
chine until rework to original condition is completed. En-
gine service and/or repairs must be done by a certified
technician only!
