The ROPS is installed to protect the operator if the machine should overturn. It is designed not only to take the
load when the machine overturns, but also to absorb the impact energy.
The Komatsu ROPS fulfills all worldwide
regulations
and standards,
but if any unauthorized
modification
is
carried out on it, or if it is damaged when the machine overturns, its strength will be reduced and it will not be able
to provide its original capacity. It will be able to provide this capacity only if modifications
and repairs are carried
out in the specified way.
When carrying out modification or repairs, always consult your Komatsu distributor first.
Even when the ROPS is installed, if you do not fasten your seat belt securely, it cannot protect you properly.
Always fasten your seat belt when operating the machine.
