1.6 Environmental Safety/Decommissioning
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely retire a piece of equipment that is
no longer serviceable. If the equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable safety risk
follow the rules below:
• DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water source.
• Contact your country's Department of Public Works or recycling agency to arrange for
the proper disposal of any electrical components, waste, or oil associated with this
equipment.
• When the life cycle of this equipment is over, remove the battery and take it to an
appropriate facility for lead reclamation. Use safety precautions when handling
batteries that contain sulfuric acid.
CAUTION Always keep battery cables in good working condition.
Repair or replace all worn cables.
CAUTION
• When the life cycle of this equipment is over, it is recommended that the trowel frame
and all other metal parts be sent to a recycling center. Metal recycling involves collecting
metal from discarded products and transforming it into raw materials for manufacturing
new products. Recyclers and manufacturers promote metal recycling because it helps
save on energy costs.
1.7 Emissions Information
The diesel engine used in this equipment is designed to reduce harmful levels of carbon
emissions. This engine has been certified to meet US EPA evaporative emissions
requirements in its installed configuration.
Attempting to modify or adjust the engine emission system by unauthorized personnel
without proper training can damage the equipment or create an unsafe condition.
resulting in fines or other penalties.
1.8 Emission Control Label
The emission control label is an integral part of the emission system and is strictly
regulated. The label must remain with the engine for its entire life. If a replacement
emission label is needed, please contact your authorized Honda Engine Distributor.
