Storage
• Never leave fuel in the tank if the machine
is stored in a building where the fuel
vapours can come into contact with open
flames, sparks or sources of heat.
• Let the machine cool down
before storing it indoors.
Transport
• Transport the machine with an empty tank.
2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Protecting the environment must be a
significant and top priority for machine
use, to the benefit of civil co-habitation
and of the environment that we live in.
• Avoid being an element of disturbance
to the surrounding area.
• Adhere strictly to the local regulations
governing the disposal of packaging, oil,
fuel, filters, damaged parts or any other
element which may have an impact on
the environment; this waste must not be
disposed of with regular waste, but must
be separated and taken to collection
centres, which will recycle the materials.
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dispose of it in the environment,
but take it to a waste disposal facility in
accordance with the local regulations in force.
2.6 EMISSIONS
The combustion process generates toxic
substances such as carbon monoxide,
nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons.
It is important to control these substances
because they can react with photochemical
smog as well as with direct exposure to sunlight.
Carbon monoxide does not react in the
same way to exposure to sunlight but
it must still be considered toxic.
Our machines are equipped with
emission reduction systems for the
substances mentioned above.
