Cab protection system
This section provides information about Roll Over Pro-
tective Structure (ROPS) and Falling Objects Protective
Structure (FOPS).
Always adhere to the safety precautions related to the
Cab protections systems listed below:
• The machine is provided with a safety structure for
the operator:
• Anti-overturn safety system (ROPS) according to
directives ISO 3471, SAE 1040C
• Safety system against the fall of objects (FOPS)
according to the directives ISO 3449, SAE J231
protection level 2.
• A ROPS can consist of the cab frame or of a two or
four uprights structure used for the safety of the op-
erator, so as to minimize the possibility of severe in-
juries. The structure and the fastening devices which
constitute the connection with the machine are part
of the ROPS.
• The protective structure is a special safety compo-
nent 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 compo-
nents are a certified system. Any damage, fire, cor-
rosion 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 inspec-
tion 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 care-
fully inspected for damage.
• All damaged parts MUST be replaced.
