General Safety - Intimidator GC 1K Owner's Manual

When a ROPS is removed or installed, mounting hardware must be examined for
signs of over-stressing. Damaged mounting hardware must be replaced with
proper specification hardware before placing the ROPS back into service.
Properly maintained seatbelts are essential to compliment the operator crush

fuel), or any type of damage must be immediately replaced, regardless of age.
