IMPORTANT ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The following are recommendations which may be
of assistance:
Z Become acquainted with and ensure that you un-
derstand the relative legislation applicable to your
country.
Z Where no legislation exists, obtain information
from suppliers of oils, fuels, antifreeze, cleaning
agents, etc., with regard to their effect on man and
nature and how to safely store, use and dispose of
these substances.
Helpful hints
Z Avoid filling tanks using jerry cans or inappropriate
pressurized fuel delivery systems which may
cause considerable spillage.
Z In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils, ac-
ids, solvents, etc.
Most of them contain substances which can be
harmful to your health.
Z Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contam-
inated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating
systems.
Z Avoid spillage when draining off used engine cool-
ant mixtures, engine, transmission and hydraulic
oils, brake fluids, etc.
Do not mix drained brake fluids or fuels with lubri-
cants. Store them safely until they can be disposed
of in a proper way to comply with local legislation
and available resources.
Z Modern coolant mixtures, i.e. antifreeze and other
additives, should be replaced every two years.
They should not be allowed to get into the soil but
should be collected and disposed of safely.
Z Do not open the Air-Conditioning system yourself.
It may contain gases which should not be released
into the atmosphere. Your air conditioning special-
ist has special equipment for discharging and
charging the system.
Z Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or
hydraulic system immediately.
Z Do not increase the pressure in a pressurized sys-
tem as this may lead to a catastrophic failure of the
system components.
Z Protect hoses during welding as penetrating weld
chips may burn a hole or weaken them, causing
the loss of oils, coolant, etc.
