HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SAFELY
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause
serious injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used
with your rigid dump truck include such items as
lubricants, coolants, paints, and adhesives.
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides
specific details on chemical products: physical and
health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency
response techniques.
• Check the MSDS before you start any job using a
hazardous chemical. That way you will know exactly
what the risks are and how to do the job safely. Then
follow procedures and use recommended equipment.
• To obtain a copy of a MSDS see your authorized
Hitachi dealer (available only in English) for chemical
products supplied with your rigid dump truck.
DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste
used with Hitachi rigid dump trucks includes such items
as oil, fuel, coolant, hydraulic fluid, used filters, and
batteries.
• Use leak proof containers when draining fluids. Do not
use food or beverage containers that may mislead
someone into drinking from them.
• Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or
into any water source.
• Air conditioning refrigerant escaping into the air can
damage
the
Earth's
regulations may require a certified air conditioning
service center to recover and recycle used air
conditioning refrigerant.
• Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of
waste from your local environmental or recycling
center.
