Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
When Required by Local Regulations
Global markets may or may not require a Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS). Always comply with all regional and
governmental regulations that apply to your market. The
following information is for a ROPS cabin.
General ROPS Guidelines for ROPS Certified Cabins
The operator's cabin is a ROPS certified structure for protecting
the seat-belted operator. It absorbs the impact energy of a
rollover impact. Do not allow machine weight (mass) to exceed
certified value on certification plate. If weight is exceeded, the
ROPS structure will not be able to fulfill its safety function.
Do not increase machine weight beyond certified value by
modifying machine or by installing attachments on machine. If
weight limit of protective equipment is exceeded, protective
equipment will not be able to protect operator, and operator may
suffer serious injury or death. Always observe the following:
• This machine is equipped with a protective structure.
Do not remove protective structure and carry out
operations without it.
• Never modify the operator's cabin by welding,
grinding, drilling holes or adding attachments unless
instructed by DOOSAN. Changes to the cabin can
cause loss of operator protection from rollover and
falling objects, and operator may suffer serious injury
or death.
• When protective structure is damaged or deformed
by falling objects or by rolling over, its strength will be
reduced and it will not be able to properly fulfill its
function. In these cases, always contact your
DOOSAN distributor for advice. Never repair a ROPS
cabin.
• Always wear your seat belt when operating machine.
