Explanation:
Your 'Produkt' seems to be a liquid. If it is then the sentence reads:

Mechanically extract blocked or leaking product.

If it's a solid, then change 'leaking' to 'worn'.

hey everybody!

not manually

Explanation:
Spilled or leaked liquid should not be wiped off/collected manually, but machanically.

I thinks it is a dangerous product, you hands should not touch it.
