CAB (OR PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE)
Do not try to weld or straighten the ROPS/FOPS
cab (or protective structure).
Do not modify the ROPS/FOPS cab (or protective
structure) in any manner. Unauthorized modifica-
tion, such as welding, drilling, cutting and adding
attachments, as well as any damage resulting from
collisions or the machine rolling over, could weaken
the structure and reduce your protection. Replace
the ROPS/FOPS cab (or protective structure) if sub-
jected to roll over or damage. Do not attempt to
repair it.
If you operate this machine without a ROPS/FOPS
cab (or protective structure) and the machine rolls
over, you can be seriously injured or killed. Remove
the ROPS/FOPS cab only for service or replace-
ment. Do not operate the machine with the ROPS/
FOPS cab (or protective structure) removed.
Do not install accessories (fixed or otherwise) which
can increase the weight of the machine. This could
cause serious accidents. Do not exceed the maxi-
mum weight shown on the ROPS/FOPS cab (or pro-
tective structure) identification plate.
Improper ROPS/FOPS cab (or protective structure)
inspection or maintenance can cause serious injury.
Carry out the recommended ROPS/FOPS cab (or
protective structure) inspection procedure shown in
this manual. If it is necessary to replace ROPS/
FOPS parts or the ROPS/FOPS cab (or protective
structure), use only the replacement parts shown in
the Parts Catalogue for your machine.
