Using the Rollover Protection
System (ROPS)
To avoid injury or death from rollover: keep the
roll bar in the raised locked position and use
the seat belt.
Ensure that the rear part of the seat is secured
with the seat latch.
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar
is in the down position.
• Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
• Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is
in the down position.
• Drive slowly and carefully.
• Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance
permits.
• Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e.
branches, doorways, electrical wires) before
driving under any objects and do not contact
them.
• Lower roll bar slowly so damage to hood
does not occur.
Important: Lower the roll bar only when
absolutely necessary.
1. To lower the roll bar, remove the hairpin cotter pins
and remove the two pins (Figure 25).
