Lubricants and the environment

Note!
Lubricants can contaminate soil and
waterways. Lubricants must be used
and disposed of properly. Observe the
local regulations and laws regarding the
disposal of lubricants.
It is important to note that lubricants are envi-
ronmentally hazardous, flammable substances
which require special precautionary measures
during transport, storage, and processing.
Consult the safety data sheet from the lubri-
cant manufacturer for information regarding
transport, storage, processing, and environ-
mental hazards of the lubricant that will be
used.
The safety data sheet for a lubricant can be
requested from the lubricant manufacturer.

Lubricant hazards

Danger!
Centralized lubrication systems must al-
ways be free of leaks. Leaking lubricant
is hazardous due to the risk of slipping
and injury. Beware of any lubricant
leaking out during assembly, operation,
maintenance, or repair of centralized
lubrication systems. Leaks must be
sealed off without delay.
