SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Every organisation has a duty to implement procedures to identify,
assess and monitor the inuence of its own activities (products,
services, etc.) on the environment.
Procedures for identifying the extent of the impact on the envi-
ronment must consider the following factors:
- Liquid waste;
- Waste management;
- Soil contamination;
- Atmospheric emissions;
- Use of raw materials and natural resources;
- Regulations and directives regarding environmental impact.
In order to minimise the impact on the environment, the manufacturer
now provides a number of indications to be followed by all persons
handling the engine, for any reason, during its expected lifetime.
- All packaging components must be disposed of in accordance
with the laws of the country in which disposal is taking place.
- Keep the fuel and engine control systems and the exhaust
pipes in efcient working order to limit environmental and noise
pollution.
- When discontinuing use of the engine, select all components
according to their chemical characteristics and dispose of them
separately.
– Some phases may require the assistance of more than
one operator. If so, it is important to inform and train them
regarding the type of activity they will be performing in
order to prevent risks to the health and safety of all persons
involved.
– Do not use ammable liquids (petrol, diesel, etc.) to
degrease or wash components. Use special products.
– Use the oils and greases recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not mix different brands or combine oils with different
characteristics.
– Discontinue use of the engine if any irregularities arise,
particularly in the case of unusual vibrations.
– Do not tamper with any devices to alter the level of
performance guaranteed by the manufacturer.
.
Do not smoke or use naked ames while lling.
. Take care when removing the oil lter as it may be hot.
. The operations of checking, lling up and replacing the
cooling liquid must be carried out with the engine turned off
and cold. Take particular care if liquids containing nitrites
are mixed with others not containing these compounds
as this may give rise to the formation of nitrosamines
which are a health hazard. The cooling liquid is polluting,
so dispose of in a manner that does not damage the
environment.
. In order to move the engine simultaneously use the
eyebolts tted for this purpose by Kohler. These lifting
points are however not suitable for the entire machine, so
in this case use the eyebolts tted by the manufacturer.
