9 - DISMANTLING AND PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE
Should you decide not to use the compressor or any of its parts any longer you must proceed with its dis-
mantling and putting out of service.
These tasks must be carried out in compliance with the standards in force.
Use of the compressor generates
waste
that is classified as
special
. Bear in mind that residues from
industrial, agricultural, crafts, commercial and service activities not classified by quality or quantity as urban
waste must be treated as special waste. Deteriorated or obsolete machines are also classified as special
waste.
Special attention must be paid to active carbon filters as they cannot be included in urban waste: observe the
waste disposal laws in force where the compressor is used.
Bear in mind that it is compulsory to record loading/unloading of exhausted oils, special wastes and
toxic-harmful wastes that derive from heavy/light industry processes. Exhausted oils, special wastes and
toxic-harmful waste must be collected by authorised companies.
It is especially important that exhausted oils be disposed of in compliance with the laws in the country of use.
Should the compressor, or a part of it, be out of service its parts must be rendered harmless
so they do not cause any danger.
WARNING:
Bear in mid that oil, filters or any other compressor part subject to differentiated waste
collection must be disposed of in compliance with the standards in force.
