FIGURE 1.2 Transport lugs
The machine should be attached to lifting equipment in places specially designed for this
purpose (FIGURE 1.2), i.e. by the external lugs on internal reinforcement of the right and left
mouldboard. Suspension points are identified with information decals. When lifting the
machine be especially careful due to the possibility of tipping over the machine and the risk of
injuries from protruding parts. To keep lifted machine in the correct direction it is
recommended to apply additional guy cables. During the loading work particular care should
be taken not to damage paint coating.

1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited
biodegradability. While carrying out maintenance and repair work which involves the risk of
an oil leak, this work should take place on an oil resistant floor or surface. In the event of oil
leaking into the environment, first of all contain the source of the leak, and then collect the
leaked oil using available means. Remaining oil should be collected using sorbents, or by
mixing the oil with sand, sawdust or other absorbent materials. The oil pollution, once
gathered up, should be kept in a sealed, marked, hydrocarbon resistant container, and then
passed on to the appropriate oil waste recycling centre. The container should be kept away
from heat sources, flammable materials and food.
Oil which has been used up or is unsuitable for further use owing to a loss of its properties
should be stored in its original packaging in the conditions described above.
1.7 WITHDRAWAL FROM USE
In the event of decision by the user to withdraw the machine from use, comply with the
regulations in force in the given country concerning withdrawal from use and recycling of
machines withdrawn from use.
Before proceeding to dismantle machine, oil shall be completely removed from hydraulic
system.
When spare parts are changed, worn out or damaged parts should be taken to a collection
point for recyclable raw materials. Waste oil and also rubber and plastic elements should be
taken to establishments undertaking the utilisation of such waste.
ATTENTION
During dism ntling person l protection equipment sh ll be used i.e. protective clothing,
boots, gloves nd protective goggles etc.
Avoid cont ct of skin with oil. Do not llow used oil to spill.
