E. Operator Protection System
1.
This machine is equipped with a Roll Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt.
2.
The ROPS and seat belt are integral parts of
this machine and should not be tampered
with, modified in any manner, or removed.
3.
The seat belt must be fastened securely at all
times when an operator is on the machine.
4.
The ROPS extends above and behind the
operator position, and therefore the operator
must be aware of potential contact of the
ROPS with items such as trees, buildings,
doorways, clothes lines, utility wires, etc., that
could cause the machine to upset or roll-
over....use caution in (or avoid) areas where
the ROPS could come in contact with any
structures, trees, etc.
5.
The ROPS and seat belt add additional mass
that elevates the machine’s Center of Gravity
(C.G.) which negatively affects the machine’s
stability and traction....use extra caution when
operating on slopes.
6.
Inspect the ROPS and seat belt assemblies
on a regular basis for damage and improper
operation....replace all components that are
damaged or are not functioning properly with
authorized replacement parts.
7.
Failure to use the seatbelt properly could
result in serious injury or death if an acciden-
tal overturn occurs. In order for the ROPS to
be effective, the seat belt must be securely
fastened around the operator at all times
when the operator is on the machine. Contact
with the ROPS during an overturn could
cause serious injury or death.
8.
The ROPS will not prevent the machine from
upsets or roll overs.
9.
Only approved attachments should be used
on this machine.
