1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited
biodegradability. Maintenance and repair work which involves the risk of an oil leak should be
performed in the rooms with oil resistant surface. In the event of oil leaking into the
environment, first of all contain the source of the leak, and then collect the leaked oil using
available means. Remaining oil should be collected using sorbents, or by mixing the oil with
sand, sawdust or other absorbent materials. The oil contaminations, once gathered up,
should be kept in a sealed, marked, hydrocarbon resistant container, and then passed on to
the appropriate oil waste recycling centre. The container should be kept away from heat
sources, flammable materials and food.
DANGER
Used hydraulic oil or gathered remains mixed with absorbent material should be stored in
a precisely marked container. Do not use food packaging for this purpose.
Oil, which has been used up or is unsuitable for further use owing to a loss of its properties
should be stored in its original packaging in the conditions described above. Waste oil should
be taken to the appropriate facility dealing with the re-use of this type of waste. Waste code:
13 01 10. Detailed information concerning hydraulic oil may be found on the product's
Material Safety Data Sheet.
TIP
The hydraulic system of the trailer is filled with L-HL32 Lotos hydraulic oil.
IMPORTANT!
Waste oil should only be taken to the appropriate facility dealing with the re-use of this
type of waste. Do NOT throw or pour oil into sewerage or water tanks.
