Operator Protective Structure - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

SECTION 1 - - GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
WARNING
Your machine is equipped with an operator
Protective Structure, such as: a Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) or Falling Object Protective
Structure (FOPS) or Cab with ROPS. A ROPS may
be a cab frame or a two--posted or four--posted
structure used for the protection of the operator to
minimise the possibility of serious injury.
The Protective Structure is a special safety
component of your machine.
DO NOT attach any device to the Protective
Structure for pulling purposes. DO NOT drill holes to
the Protective Structure.
The Protective Structure and interconnecting
components are a certified system. Any damage,
fire, corrosion or modification will weaken the
structure and reduce your protection. If this occurs,
the Protective Structure MUST be replaced so that
it will provide the same protection as a new Protective
Structure. Contact your dealer for Protective
Structure inspection and replacement.
After an accident, fire, tip or roll over, the following
MUST be performed by a qualified technician before
returning the machine to field or job site operation.
The Protective Structure MUST be replaced.
•
The mounting or suspension for the Protective
•
Structure, operator seat and suspension, seat
belts and mounting components and wiring
within the operator's protective system MUST be
carefully inspected for damage.
All damaged parts MUST be replaced.
•
DO NOT WELD, DRILL HOLES, ATTEMPT TO
STRAIGHTEN OR REPAIR THE PROTECTIVE
STRUCTURE. MODIFICATION IN ANY WAY CAN
REDUCE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
STRUCTURE WHICH COULD CAUSE DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY IN THE EVENT OF FIRE, TIP,
ROLL OVER, COLLISION OR ACCIDENT.
