IDENTIFICATION DATA - FOPS/ROPS
The machine is equipped with a ROPS (Roll-Over Pro-
tective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Objects Protec-
tive Structure) (1) for the cab. The protective structure,
the fitting supports and the fastening elements on the ma-
chine are an integral part of the structure.
The ROPS label of homologation (2) is localized in the cab

In the case of work where there is a risk of frontal impact

be installed.
WARNING
Roll-over hazard!
Securely fasten the seat belt. Your machine
is equipped with a Roll-Over Protective Struc-
ture (ROPS) cab, ROPS canopy, or ROPS
frame for your protection. The seat belt can
help ensure your safety if it is properly used
and maintained. Never wear a seat belt loosely
or with slack in the belt system.
Failure to comply could result in death or se-
rious injury.
Any damage, fire, corrosion or modification will weaken
the structure and reduce your protection. If this occurs,
the Protective Structure MUST be replaced . Contact
your dealer for Protective Structure inspection and re-
placement.
After an accident or fire that involve the cab and/or ma-
chine 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 checked and re-
placed if necessary;
• the mounting for the Protective Structure, operator seat
and seat belt, MUST be carefully inspected for dam-
ages and replaced if necessary;
DANGER
Crushing hazard!
Do not change the Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) in any way. Unauthorized
changes such as welding, drilling, or cutting
will weaken the ROPS and decrease your pro-
tection. Have an authorized dealer replace the
ROPS if damage of any kind occurs. DO NOT
TRY TO REPAIR THE ROPS.
Failure to comply will result in death or serious
injury.
