4.9 Disposal

Waste products such as used engine oil or
fuel, used lubricants, filters, batteries and
similar wearing parts can be harmful to
people, animals and the environment, and
must consequently be disposed of
properly.
Consult your recycling centre or your
specialist dealer for information on the
proper disposal of waste products. STIHL
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.
Ensure that old machines are properly
disposed of. Read the information in the
