Waste Disposal
Disposing of the Engine Oil
Engine oil and hydraulic fluid are both pollutants to
the environment. Dispose of used oil at a certified
recycling center or according to your state and local
regulations.
Disposing of the Battery
DANGER
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid,
which is poisonous and can cause severe
burns. Swallowing electrolyte can be fatal or
can cause severe burns if it touches skin.
• Wear safety glasses to shield eyes, and
rubber gloves to protect skin and clothing
when handling electrolyte.
• Do not swallow electrolyte.
• In the event of an accident, flush with water
and call a doctor immediately.
Federal law states that batteries should not be placed
in the garbage. Management and disposal practices
for batteries must follow relevant federal, state, or
local laws.
If you are replacing the battery or your machine is no
longer operated and it is being scrapped—remove the
battery; take the battery to a local certified recycling
center. If no local recycling is available return the
battery to any certified battery reseller.
