  • Page 11 "USE AND DISPOSAL" POLICY CONCERNED WITH ENVIRONMENT PRESERVATION We try our best to preserve the environment, always concerned about our environmental impact at each step of planning, development, production, distribution, use and disposal of products, and for our overall op- erations through “environmentally friendly” management system. We comply with international environmen- tal regulations, environmental regulations designated by country and local authorities and other require- ments with which we are in agreement, and we work towards the prevention of environmental pollution and the conservation of resources. We provide environmental education and have an awareness campaign to raise environmental awareness among all our employees and members of the supporting companies. Here we introduce “Use and Disposal” policy concerned with environment preservation as follows. 1. Please read the operator’s manual though for global environment protection and avoid overload job. Overload on the machine shortens the product life and increases the harmful exhaust gas which cause air pollution due to the incom- plete combustion. 2. When replacing various fluids (for engine, transmission, hydraulics, etc.) by yourself, don’t dispose the used oil to anywhere not recommended. It can pollute the ground and water seriously. Please contact our local dealer to dis- pose it legally.
