FOPS,FOGS or TOPS is designed to give you protection in an accident. If you do not wear the seat belt you
could be thrown off the machine and crushed. You must wear a seat belt when using the machine. Fasten
the seat belt before starting the engine.
FOPS Data Plate
WARNING Do not use the machine if the falling objects protection level provided by the structure is not
sufficient for the application. Falling objects can cause serious injury.
If the machine is used in any application where there is a risk of falling objects then a FOPS (Falling Object
Protective Structure) must be installed. For further information, contact your JCB dealer.
The FOPS has a data plate attached. The data plate indicates what level of protection the structure provides.
There are two levels of FOPS:
• Level I Impact Protection - impact strength for protection from small falling objects (e.g. bricks, small
concrete blocks, hand tools) encountered in operations such as highway maintenance, landscaping and
other construction site services.
• Level II Impact Protection - impact strength for protection from heavy falling objects (e.g. trees, rocks) for
machines involved in site clearing, overhead demolition or forestry.
