2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Ecology and the environment
Soil, air, and water quality is important for all industries
and life in general. When legislation does not yet rule the
treatment of some of the substances that advanced tech-
nology requires, sound judgment should govern the use
and disposal of products of a chemical and petrochemical
nature.
Familiarize yourself with the relative legislation applica-
ble to your country, and make sure that you understand
this legislation. Where no legislation exists, obtain in-
formation from suppliers of oils, filters, batteries, fuels,
anti-freeze, cleaning agents, etc., with regard to the ef-
fect of these substances on man and nature and how to
safely store, use, and dispose of these substances. Your
CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer can also provide assis-
tance.
Helpful hints
• Avoid the use of cans or other inappropriate pressur-
ized fuel delivery systems to fill tanks. Such delivery
systems may cause considerable spillage.
• In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils, acids,
solvents, etc.
Most of these products contain sub-
stances that may be harmful to your health.
• Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contami-
nated fuels and or waste oils in ordinary heating sys-
tems.
• Avoid spillage when you drain fluids such as used en-
gine coolant mixtures, engine oil, hydraulic fluid, brake
fluid, etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids or fuels with
lubricants. Store all drained fluids safely until you can
dispose of the fluids in a proper way that complies with
all local legislation and available resources.
• Do not allow coolant mixtures to get into the soil. Col-
lect and dispose of coolant mixtures properly.
• Do not open the air-conditioning system yourself. It
contains gases that should not be released into the
atmosphere. Your CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer or
air-conditioning specialist has a special extractor for
this purpose and can recharge the system properly.
• Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling sys-
tem or hydraulic system immediately.
• Do not increase the pressure in a pressurized circuit as
this may lead to a component failure.
Battery recycling
Batteries and electric accumulators contain several sub-
stances that can have a harmful effect on the environ-
ment if the batteries are not properly recycled after use.
Improper disposal of batteries can contaminate the soil,
groundwater, and waterways. CASE CONSTRUCTION
strongly recommends that you return all used batteries to
a CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer, who will dispose of the
used batteries or recycle the used batteries properly. In
some countries, this is a legal requirement.

Mandatory battery recycling
NOTE:
The following requirements are mandatory in
Brazil.
Batteries are made of lead plates and a sulfuric acid so-
lution. Because batteries contain heavy metals such as
lead, CONAMA Resolution 401/2008 requires you to re-
turn all used batteries to the battery dealer when you re-
place any batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in your
household garbage.
Points of sale are obliged to:
• Accept the return of your used batteries
• Store the returned batteries in a suitable location
• Send the returned batteries to the battery manufacturer
for recycling
