WARNING
Roll-over hazard!
After an accident, fire, tip over, or roll over, a qualified technician MUST replace the Roll-Over Protec-
tive Structure (ROPS) before returning the machine to the field or job site operation.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Misuse hazard!
Your machine is equipped with an operator protective structure. 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.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
Crushing hazard!
DO NOT operate the machine with the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) removed. Remove the
ROPS only for service or replacement.
Failure to comply will result in death or serious injury.
Your machine is equipped with an operator Protective Structure, such as: Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) or
Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS). A ROPS may be a cab frame or a two posted or four posted structure used
for the protection of the operator to minimize the possibility of serious injury. The mounting structure and fasteners
forming the mounting connection with the machine are part of the ROPS.
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 into 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 over, or roll over, the following MUST be performed by a qualified technician before
returning the machine to field or job side operation:
The protective structure MUST be replaced.
•
The mounting or suspension for the protective structure, operator's seat and suspension, seat belt and mounting
•
components, and wiring within the protective structure 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. MOD-
IFICATION IN ANY WAY CAN REDUCE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE STRUCTURE WHICH COULD
CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IN THE EVENT OF FIRE, TIP OVER, ROLL OVER, COLLISION, OR ACCI-
DENT.
Seat belts are part of the protective system and must be worn at all times. The operator must be held to the seat
inside the frame in order for the protective system to work.
