Disposing of Waste Products and Chemicals
Waste products, such as used oil, fuel, coolant, brake uid, and
batteries can harm the environment and people.
Do not use beverage containers for waste uids someone can
mistakenly drink from them.
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides specic details on chemical
products: Physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and
emergency response techniques. The seller of the chemical
products used with your machine is responsible for providing the
SDS for that product.
To learn how to recycle or properly dispose of waste products

Machine Cleanout
General Cleaning Guidelines
Machine must be inspected periodically throughout the day. Buildup of
debris must be removed to ensure proper machine function and to
reduce the risk of re. Frequency of these inspections and cleanings
vary depending on a number of factors including operating conditions,
machine conguration, operating speeds, and weather conditions.
Inspections and cleanings may be required multiple times throughout
the day particularly in dry, hot, and windy conditions.
IMPORTANT: Avoid re! Regular and thorough cleaning of
machine combined with other routine maintenance
procedures listed in the Operators Manual greatly reduce
the risk of re, downtime, and improve machine
performance.
Besides proper maintenance the condition of the material
being handled is the most signicant factor contributing to
res. Dry, light, and u󰀨y materials that can create a dust
cloud are the most likely to catch re. Debris can
accumulate in various areas especially on horizontal
surfaces. Conditions such as wind speed and direction can
change where the material accumulates. Be aware of these
changing conditions and adjust your cleaning schedule and
practices to ensure proper machine function and to reduce
the risk of re.
Always follow all safety procedures posted on the machine and in the
Operator’s Manual. Before carrying out any inspection or cleaning,
always park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the Safety
Section).
The entire machine should be inspected, with extra attention given to
the areas noted below.
