120 S130 Operation & Maintenance Manual
OPERATOR CAB
Description
The Bobcat loader has an operator cab (ROPS and
FOPS) as standard equipment to protect the operator
from rollover and falling objects. The seat belt must be
worn for rollover protection.
Check the ROPS, mounting and hardware for damage.
Never modify the ROPS structure. Replace ROPS and
hardware if damaged. See your Bobcat dealer for parts.
ROPS / FOPS - Roll Over protective Structure per ISO
3471, and Falling Object Protective Structure per SAE
J1043 and ISO 3449, Level I. Level II is available.
Level I
Protection from falling bricks, small concrete blocks,
and hand tools encountered in operations such as
motorway maintenance, landscaping, and other
construction sites.
Level II
Protection from falling trees, rocks: for machines
involved in site clearing, overhead demolition or
forestry.
Never modify operator cab by welding, grinding,
drilling holes or adding attachments unless
instructed to do so by Bobcat Company. Changes to
the cab can cause loss of operator protection from
rollover and falling objects, and result in injury or
death.

Raising
Always stop the engine before raising or lowering the
cab.
Stop the loader on a level surface. Lower the lift arms. If
the lift arms must be up while raising the operator cab,
install the lift arm support device. (See LIFT ARM
SUPPORT DEVICE on Page 117.)
Before the cab or the lift arms are raised for service,
jackstands must be put under the rear corners of the
frame. Failure to use jackstands can allow the
machine to tip backward causing injury or death.
