Decommissioning — Proper Recycling and
Disposal of Fluids and Components
Safety and environmental stewardship measures must
be taken into account when decommissioning a machine
and/or component. These measures include the following:
•Use appropriate tools and personal protective
equipment such as clothing, gloves, face shields or
glasses, during the removal or handling of objects and
materials.
•Follow instructions for specialized components.
•Release stored energy by lowering suspended machine
elements, relaxing springs, disconnecting the battery
or other electrical power, and releasing pressure in
hydraulic components, accumulators, and other similar
systems.
•Minimize exposure to components which may have
residue from agricultural chemicals, such as fertilizers
and pesticides. Handle and dispose of these
components appropriately.
•Carefully drain engines, fuel tanks, radiators, hydraulic
cylinders, reservoirs, and lines before recycling
components. Use leak-proof containers when draining
fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers.
•Do not pour waste fluids onto the ground, down a drain,
or into any water source.
•Observe all national, state, and local laws, regulations,
or ordinances governing the handling or disposal of
waste fluids (example: oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid);

filters; batteries; and, other substances or parts.
Burning of flammable fluids or components in other than
specially designed incinerators may be prohibited by law
and could result in exposure to harmful fumes or ashes.
•Service and dispose of air conditioning systems
appropriately. Government regulations may require
a certified service center to recover and recycle air
conditioning refrigerants which could damage the
atmosphere if allowed to escape.
•Evaluate recycling options for tires, metal, plastic,
glass, rubber, and electronic components which may be
recyclable, in part or completely.
•Contact your local environmental or recycling center, or
your KEMPER dealer for information on the proper way
to recycle or dispose of waste.
