9. Use your turn signals, checking for traffic well in advance of turning. If the mower is not
equipped with turn signals and law requires them, install them prior to operating on or near
public roads.
Safety Decals
1. Keep decals clean. Remove dirt with a wet clean cloth when necessary.
2. Replace safety decals if destroyed, missing, painted over or unreadable. If any safety decals
are covered or obscured when the ROPS is mounted, it is recommended that you purchase
replacement decals from the mower manufacturer. Mount them in a readable location at, or
near, their original location before operating the mower.
3. New ROPS decals and mower decals are available from your mower dealer.
ROPS Safety
1. Install the ROPS in accordance with Tektite mounting instructions. Failure to do so may affect
the ROPS ability to withstand a roll over.
2. If the ROPS is subjected to alteration, structural damage or involved in an over turn accident,
the entire structure must be replaced. Failure to do so may result in injury or death in the event
of a roll over.
3. If the mower in not equipped with seat belts, purchase approved seat belts from the mower
manufacturer or Tektite prior to operating the mower.
4. Always fasten seat belts prior to operating the mower.
5. Always operate the mower from the operator's seat.
6. Remove mud, crop residue, chains and tools from steps and operator's platform. They may
interfere with pedal operation or entry/exit from the mower.
7. Remove all loose chains, tools, and equipment from the operator's platform. Failure to do so
may cause injury or death in the event of a roll over.
8. Do not install the ROPS on a mower model that the ROPS is not designated for (compatible
mower designations are printed on the ROPS serial number plate). The ROPS is designed
specifically for individual models to ensure ROPS requirements will be met. Installing the ROPS
on a non designated mower may result in injury or death.
