Operator protective structure
Your machine is equipped with an operator protective
structure, such as: a Roll Over Protective Structure
(ROPS), Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS),
or a cab with a ROPS. A ROPS may be a can 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 to 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.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hard
hat, eye protection, heavy gloves, hearing protection, pro-
tective clothing, etc.
Do Not Operate tag
Before you start servicing the machine, attach a 'Do Not
Operate' warning tag to the machine in an area that will
be visible.
Hazardous chemicals
If you are exposed to or come in contact with hazardous
chemicals you can be seriously injured. The fluids, lu-
bricants, paints, adhesives, coolant, etc. required for the
function of your machine can be hazardous. They may
be attractive and harmful to domestic animals as well as
humans.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provide information
about the chemical substances within a product, safe
handling and storage procedures, first aid measures, and
procedures to take in the event of a spill or accidental
release. MSDS are available from your dealer.
Before you service your machine check the MSDS for
each lubricant, fluid, etc. used in this machine. This in-
formation indicates the associated risks and will help you
service the machine safely. Follow the information in the
MSDS, and on manufacturer containers, as well as the in-
formation in this manual, when you service the machine.
2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
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-site operations:
• The protective structure must be replaced.
• The mounting or suspension for the protective struc-
ture, operator's seat and suspension, seat belts and
mounting components, and wiring within the operator's
protective system 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. Modification 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 accident.
Seat belts are part of your 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.

mentally safe manner according to local laws and regula-
tions. Check with local environmental and recycling cen-
ters or your dealer for correct disposal information.
