Safety Regulations Relative to Operating Materials

Rules for handling and disposing of
operating materials
ENVIRONMENT NOTE
Improper use and disposal of operating and
cleaning materials can cause serious damage
to the environment.
Always use and handle the operating materi-
als in a suitable manner and follow the manu-
facturer's instructions for the product's use.
Keep the operating materials only in contain-
ers intended for this purpose and in a location
that satisfies the requirements.
The operating materials may be flammable, so
avoid contact with hot objects or open flames.
When topping up the operating materials, only
clean containers should be used.
Follow the manufacturer's safety and disposal
instructions regarding the operating and
cleaning materials.
Do not disperse oils or other operating liquids!
Any spilt liquid must be immediately collected
and neutralised with a binding material (such
as an oil binder) and then disposed of in
accordance with current regulations.
Always comply with anti-pollution regulations!
Before carrying out work that involves lubrica-
tion, filter replacement or hydraulic equipment
interventions, the area in question must be
thoroughly cleaned.
The replaced parts must always be disposed
of in accordance with the anti-pollution laws.
ENVIRONMENT NOTE
The incorrect or unlawful use of brake fluid is
harmful to people's health and the environ-
ment.

Oils
• Do not allow to come into contact with the
skin.
• Do not inhale oil vapors.
• Wear appropriate means of individual
protection during forklift maintenance
operations (gloves, goggles, etc.) to
prevent the oil from coming into contact
with your skin.
ENVIRONMENT NOTE
The used oils and relative filters contain sub-
stances that are hazardous to the environment
and must be disposed of according to current
regulations. We advise you to contact the au-
thorised service network.
DANGER
The penetration in the skin of hydraulic oil that has
leaked under pressure from the forklift's hydraulic
system is dangerous. If this type of lesion should
occur, contact a doctor immediately.
DANGER
Small high pressure jets of oil can penetrate the
skin. Look for any leaks using a piece of cardboard.
Battery Acid
• Do not inhale the vapor: it is poisonous.
• Use adequate means of individual protec-
tion to prevent contact with the skin.
• Battery acid is corrosive: if it should come
into contact with your skin, rinse abundantly
with water.
• Explosive gas mixtures can form when
charging the battery; therefore, the rooms
in which the battery is charged must be in
compliance with the specific regulations on
the subject (e.g. EN 50272-3 etc.).
• DO NOT smoke or use open flames and
lights within a 2 m radius from the charged
battery and in the battery charging area.
