Decommissioning Saw/Components
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely retire a
piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable. If the equipment
poses an
unacceptable and unrepairable safety risk due to wear
or damage or is no longer cost effective to maintain, (beyond life-
cycle reliability) and is to be decommissioned,
(demolition and
dismantlement), the following procedure must take place:
1. Drain all fluids completely. These may include oil, gasoline,
hydraulic oil and antifreeze. Dispose of properly in accor-
dance with local and governmental regulations. Never pour
on ground or dump down drains or
sewers.
2. Remove battery and bring to appropriate facility for lead
reclamation. Use safety precautions when handling batter-
ies that contain sulfuric acid, (See page 16).
3. The remainder can be brought to a salvage yard or metal
reclamation facility for further dismantling.

NOTE
Tips When Draining and Filling the Hydraulic Oil System
1. It will take 3-4 quarts to fill the hydraulic system when new, and
somewhat less when changing the oil.
2. Remove the oil reservoir cap to speed oil draining.
3. When re-filling the system, raise the saw halfway up, then
lift the rear of the saw until the Blade Flanges touch the
ground. This will help to speed the filling process.
4. After filling the system, jack the saw up so the drive wheels
are off the ground. Start the saw and move the Control
Handle half way into FORWARD to purge air out of the
system.
If the Blade Shaft is drained completely,
it will require approximately 1 gallon to
refill. If the transaxle is drained as well,
it will require approximately 1
additional gallon.
