Lubricants - Health And Safety Precautions - Genie GTH-3512 Operator's Manual

INTRODUCTION
A thorough and regular maintenance keeps the
machine in a safe and efficient working condition.
For this reason, it is advisable to wash, grease and
service the machine properly, especially after having
worked under particular conditions (muddy or dusty
environments, heavy operations, etc.).
Always ensure all machine components are in good
condition. Check for oil leaks or loosening of guards,
and make sure that the safety devices are efficient. In
case of defects, find and rectify them before using the
machine again.
The maintenance interventions are based on the
machine working hours. Regularly check the hour-
meter and keep it in good condition to define the
maintenance intervals correctly.
Not respecting the ordinary maintenance schedule of
this manual automatically voids GENIE warranty.
IMPORTANT
For the engine maintenance, please refer to the
specific Operator handbook supplied with the
machine.

MAINTENANCE
Health
A prolonged skin contact with oil can cause irritation.
Use rubber gloves and protective goggles. After
handling oil, carefully wash your hands with soap and
water.
Storage
Always keep lubricants in a closed place, out of the
children's reach. Never store lubricants on the open
air and without a label indicating their contents.
Disposal
New or exhausted oil is always polluting! Never drain
oil on the ground. Store new oil in a suitable warehouse.
Pour exhausted oil into cans and deliver them to
specialised firms for disposal.
Oil leaks
In case of accidental oil leaks, cover with sand or type-
approved granulate. Then scrape off and dispose of it
as chemical waste.
