9. Use your turn signals, checking for traffic well in advance of turning. If the utility vehicle is
not equipped with turn signals and law requires them, install them prior to operating on or near
public roads.
Safety Decals
1. Keep decals clean. Remove dirt with a wet clean cloth when necessary.
2. Replace safety decals if destroyed, missing, painted over or unreadable. If any safety decals
are covered or obscured when the ROPS is mounted, it is recommended that you purchase
replacement decals from the utility vehicle manufacturer. Mount them in a readable location
at, or near, their original location before operating the utility vehicle.
3. New ROPS decals and utility vehicle decals are available from your utility vehicle dealer.
ROPS Safety
1. Install the ROPS in accordance with Tektite mounting instructions. Failure to do so may affect
the ROPS ability to withstand a roll over.
2. If the ROPS is subjected to alteration, structural damage or involved in an over turn accident,
the entire structure must be replaced. Failure to do so may result in injury or death in the event
of a roll over.
3. If the utility vehicle in not equipped with seat belts, purchase approved seat belts from the
utility vehicle manufacturer or Tektite prior to operating the utility vehicle.
4. Always fasten seat belts prior to operating the utility vehicle.
5. Always operate the utility vehicle from the operator's seat.
6. Remove mud, crop residue, chains and tools from steps and operator's platform. They may
interfere with pedal operation or entry/exit from the utility vehicle.
7. Remove all loose chains, tools, and equipment from the operator's platform. Failure to do so
may cause injury or death in the event of a roll over.
8. Do not install the ROPS on a utility vehicle model that the ROPS is not designated for
(compatible utility vehicle designations are printed on the ROPS serial number plate). The ROPS
is designed specifically for individual models to ensure ROPS requirements will be met.
Installing the ROPS on a non designated utility vehicle may result in injury or death.
