Rollover Protection System
(ROPS) Safety
•
The ROPS is an integral safety device. Do not
remove any of the ROPS components from the
machine.
•
Ensure that the seat belt is attached and that you
can release it quickly in an emergency.
•
Keep the roll bar in the fully raised and locked
position and always wear your seat belt whenever
the roll bar is up.
•
Check carefully for overhead objects before you
drive under them, and do not contact them.
•
Replace damaged ROPS components. Do not
repair or alter them.
•
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar
is down.
•
Wheels dropping over edges, over steep banks, or
into water can cause a rollover, which may result
in serious injury or death.
•
Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is down.
•
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary;
raise it as soon as clearance permits.
•
In the event of a rollover, take the machine to an
Authorized Service Dealer to inspect the ROPS.
•
Use only Toro approved accessories and
attachments for the ROPS.
