2.3
GUIDELINES FOR THE DISPOSAL
OF SCRAP PRODUCTS
2.3.1 DURING SERVICE LIFE
Used oil, oil filters and engine coolant are
hazardous materials and should be handled in a
safe and environmentally responsible way.
In the event of a fluid leak, contain the spill to
prevent it entering the ground or drainage system.
Local legislation will dictate how such spills are to
treated.
Following the maintenance procedures laid out in
this manual will ensure that the impact the machine
has on the local environment is controlled.
When it has been identified that a turf care product
has no further functional value and requires
disposal, the following actions should be taken.
2.3.2 END OF SERVICE LIFE
These guidelines should be used in conjunction with
applicable Health, Safety and Environmental
legislation and use of approved local facilities for
waste disposal and recycling.
•
Position the machine in a suitable location
for any necessary lifting
equipment to be used.
•
Use appropriate tools and Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and
take guidance from the technical
manuals applicable to the
machine.
•
Remove and store appropriately:
1.
Batteries
2.
Fuel residue
3.
Engine coolant
4.
Oils
•
Disassemble the structure of the machine
referring to the technical
manuals where appropriate.
Special attention should be
made for dealing with 'stored
energy' within pressurised
elements of the machine or
tensioned springs.
•
Any items that still have a useful service life
as second hand components or
can be re-serviced should be

separated and returned to the
relevant centre.
•
Other worn out items should be separated
into material groups for
recycling and disposal
consistent with available
facilities. More common
separation types are as follows:
•
Steel
•
Non ferrous metals
•
Aluminium
•
Brass
•
Copper
•
Plastics
•
Identifiable
•
Recyclable
•
Non recyclable

Not identified
•
Rubber
•
Electrical & Electronic Components
•
Items that cannot be separated economically
into different material groups
should be added to the 'General
waste' area.
•
Do not incinerate waste.
Finally update machinery records to indicate that
the machine has been taken out of service and
scrapped. Provide this serial number to Jacobsen
Warranty department to close off relevant records.
