1.2.3.2 Regular safety inspections
1.2.3.3 Modifications and alterations to the machine
1.2.3.4 Damage, defects, misuse of safety devices
1.2.3.5 Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
All persons remaining in the area of the machine must be informed
about the dangers that arise from the operation of the machine.
Have the machine inspected by an expert / qualified person as
required for the conditions the machine is working under, but at
least once every year.
Unauthorized changes to the machine are prohibited for safety rea-
sons.
Original parts and accessories have been specially designed for
this machine.
We wish to make explicitly clear that we have not tested or
approved any parts or accessories not supplied by us.
The installation and/or use of such products may have an adverse
effect on the active and/or passive safety.
Machines which are not safe to operate or in traffic must be imme-
diately taken out of service and shall not be used, until these defi-
ciencies have been properly rectified.
Safety installations and switches must neither be removed nor
must they be made ineffective.
The frame of the machine must not be warped, bent or cracked in
the area of the ROPS fastening.
The ROPS must not show any rust, damage, hairline cracks or
open fractures.
The real machine weight must never exceed the testing weight for
the ROPS.
No accessories may be welded or bolted on and no additional
holes must be drilled without the consent of the manufacturer,
since this will impair the strength of the unit.
The ROPS must therefore also not be straightened or repaired if it
is damaged.
A defect ROPS must generally be replaced with an original spare
part in close coordination with the manufacturer.
