Foldable Rops - Shibaura CM314 Operator's Manual

OPERATION
DO NOT weld on ROPS, or use a damaged
ROPS. Replace ROPS if cracked or damaged.
If the seat belt is to be cleaned, use soap and
water. Do not use carbon tetrachloride,
naphtha, etc., as these will weaken the
webbing. For the same reason, do not bleach or
dye the webbing. Replace seat belt if worn or
damaged.
Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS), and seat
belts are available from your SHIBAURA Dealer.

Foldable ROPS

The ROPS can be folded by removing right and
left retaining rings and by pulling out the pins.
Operate with the ROPS in the"UP"position
whenever possible. Use the ROPS in the
"folded"position only when it is absolutely
necessary.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE MOWER
WITH THE ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE
STRUCTURE FOLDED AS A STANDARD
OPERATING MODE. A FOLDED ROPS DOES
NOT PROVIDE ROLLOVER PROTECTION.
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR THE SEAT BELT
WHEN THE MOWER IS EQUIPPED WITH A
ROPS. HOWEVER, IF THE ROPS HAS BEEN
REMOVED FROM THE MOWER, OR IF THE
ROPS IN THE FOLDED POSITION, THE SEAT
BELT SHOULD NOT BE USED.
WARNING: ALWAYS PULL FROM THE
MOWER DRAWBAR. DO NOT ATTACH
CHAINS OR ROPES TO THE ROPS FOR
PULLING PURPOSES, AS THE MOWER CAN
TIP BACKWARDS.
WARNING: WHEN DRIVING THROUGH
DOOR OPENINGS OR UNDER LOW
OVERHEAD OBJECTS, MAKE SURE THERE
IS SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE
ROPS.
