1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited
biodegradability. Because of the low solubility of oil in water, it is not highly toxic to living
organisms. An oil leak into water reservoirs may however lead to a reduction of the oxygen
content.
While carrying out maintenance and repair work, which involves the risk of an oil leak, this
work should take place on an oil resistant floor or 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 pollution, once gathered up, should be
kept in a sealed, marked, hydrocarbon resistant container. 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.
Used oil or oil unsuitable for further use due to 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.
