Environmental Considerations - New Holland LM1340 TURBO Workshop Manual

The following recommendations can be useful:
Become familiar and make sure you have well
•
understood the relevant legislation in effect in
your country.
In the event no regulations exist, ask for specific
•
information with the suppliers of lubricants, anti-
freeze and detergents regarding their effects on
humans and the environment and how to store,
handle and dispose of these substances safely.
Useful indications
1. Do not fill tanks with inadequate canisters or dis-
pensing pressurised systems that could cause
considerable spillage.
2. In general, avoid the contact of the skin with any
fuel, oil, acid, solvent etc. The majority of them
contain substance dangerous for your health.
3. Modern lubricants contain additives. Do not burn
contaminated fuels and/or wed oils in normal
heating burners.
SECTION 00 - - GENERAL

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

4. Avoid spillage when draining used coolant mix-
tures, engine oils, transmission and hydraulic
fluids, brake fluid. After draining, do not mix
brake fluid or fuel with lubricants. Store them in a
risk free manner until when they can be disposed
of in an adequate way, in accordance with local
regulations and the resources available.
5. Modern cooling mixtures, such as antifreeze and
other additives, must be changed every two
years. Maximum attention must be paid to pre-
vent that they spill over the ground. They must be
collected and disposed of so that do not create
any danger.
6. Do not unseal air conditioning system by your-
selves, since they can contain gases that must
not be released into the atmosphere. The per-
sonnel specialised in air conditioners uses
special equipment to charge and discharge air
conditioning systems.
7. Repair at once any leakage or defect of the
engine cooling system or hydraulic system.
8. Do not increase the pressure of any pressurised
system, since this could cause serious problems
to the components of the system.
9. Protect hoses when performing any welding,
since a splash of welding materials could pen-
etrate and burn them, causing a hole or weaken-
ing the wall with subsequent leakages of oil,
coolant etc.
