Seat Belt
The seat belt is an important part of your ROPS. You must
wear the seat belt at all times when you operate the
machine
Before you operate this machine always make sure that
the ROPS and operators seat belts are correctly installed.
Inspection and Care of Seat Belt
1. Check the seat belts for damage. Replace all parts
that are damaged.
2. Make sure the mounting bolts for the seat belts are
tight.
3. Keep the seat belts clean. Wash the seat belts only
in soap and water.
DO NOT put the seat belts in bleach or dye. This
procedure will weaken the seat belt material.
Maintenance and Inspection of the ROPS
Do the following items every 500 hours of operation or
when the ROPS has been in an accident (for example,
hitting an overhead object, or the machine rolling over,
etc.).
IMPORTANT:
If the ROPS part is damaged, you must
replace the ROPS before you operate the machine.
1. Check the torque of the ROPS mounting bolts. If
necessary, tighten the bolts to the correct torque. See
Torque Specifications in this manual.
2. Check the operators seat and the mounting parts for
the seat belt. Tighten the bolts to the correct torque.
See Operators Seat Torque Specifications in this
manual. Replace parts that have wear or damage.
3. Check for cracks, rust or holes in the ROPS and ROPS
parts. Age, weather and accidents will cause damage
to the ROPS and ROPS parts. If you have any doubt
about the ROPS system, see your dealer.
Damage to the ROPS
If the machine has rolled over or the ROPS has been in
some other type of accident (such as hitting an overhead
object during transport), you MUST replace the damaged
ROPS component parts.
After an accident, check the following for damage:
1. The ROPS cab or ROPS canopy.
