SAFETY
Rollover Protection System
The Rollover Protection System (ROPS)
increases the basic weight of the unit by 33 kg.
• Do not use ROPS as a lifting, attaching or
anchoring point.
• Do not use ROPS for wrecking or towing.
• Do not exceed Max GVW: 1280 kg.
• Read the operator manual before use.
• Securely fasten the seat belt if the unit has a
ROPS.
• Be certain the seat belt operates correctly
and can be released quickly in the event of an
emergency.
• Keep folding ROPS in the raised and locked
position and use the seat belt when operating
the machine.
• Lower a folding ROPS temporarily only when
fully necessary. Do NOT wear the seat belt
when the ROPS is folded down.
• Check carefully for overhead clearance (i.e.
before driving under trees, electrical wires,
through doorways) while loading into a truck or
trailer.
• Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by
periodically inspecting for damage and keeping
all mounting fasteners tight. Check all bolts,
including on the seat belt, for correct torque
before each use.
• Check the ROPS structure for damage before
each use. If a part of the ROPS is damaged, the
entire ROPS must be replaced.
• DO NOT remove the ROPS.
• Where possible, avoid operating the unit near
ditches, embankments and holes.
• Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes
and on rough, slick or muddy surfaces. Stay off
slopes too steep for safe operation.
• Watch where you are going, especially at row
ends, on roads and around trees.
• Do not permit others to ride.
• Operate mower smoothly, no jerky turns, starts
or stops.
• When mower is stopped, engage park brake
securely.
• ROPS bar is NOT intended for use in sub zero
temperatures.
WARNING! There is NO roll over
protection when the ROPS is folded down.
