Operation
Raise the Rollover Protection System
(ROPS)
Important: The roll bar is an integral and
effective safety device. Keep the roll bar in the
fully raised and locked position when operating
the mower. Lower the roll bar temporarily only
when absolutely necessary.
1. The knob must be completely latched with the
tabs interlocking as shown in Figure 11 to lock
the roll bar in the raised, operate position.
2. Apply forward pressure to the upper hoop of the
roll bar.
3. Pull the knob and rotate 90° to hold in the
unlatched position to lower the roll bar.
4. To return to the operate position, raise the roll
bar, and then rotate knobs 90° so that the tabs
interlock partially. Apply forward pressure to the
roll bar upper hoop and observe that the knobs
return to the completely latched position.
1. Roll bar upper hoop
2. Knob in "latched" position
3. Pull knob to unlatch
4. Rotate 90° to hold unlatched
5. Knob in "unlatched" position
5. Make sure the knobs are fully engaged with the
roll bar in the raised position. The upper hoop of
the roll bar may need to be pushed forward or
pulled rearward to get both knobs fully engaged
(see Figure 12).
