ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE
Your machine has a roll-over protective structure (ROPS). A ROPS label is
fastened to the structure. The ROPS label has important information about
ROPS. See page 25 for the location of the ROPS label.
The ROPS label shows the serial number of the ROPS, gross weight,
approval and regulation numbers and model number of the machine.
Before you operate this machine, always make sure that the ROPS, and
operator's seat belts are correctly installed.
Read the following important information.
SEAT BELT FOR THE ROPS
The seat belt is an important part of your ROPS. You must wear the seat
belt at all times when you operate the machine.
POSSIBLE 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 ROPS to get as much protection as you had originally.
After an accident, check for damage to (1) the ROPS, (2) the operator's
seat, (3) the seat belt and the seat belt mountings, and (4) all accessories,
wiring, etc., in the ROPS. Before you operate the machine, replace parts which
have damage.
DO NOT TRY TO WELD THE ROPSOR TO MAKE THE ROPSSTRAIGHT.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF THE ROPS
After the first 20 hours of operation and after every 500 hours of operation
or six months, whichever comes first, do the following:
1. Check the torque of the ROPS mounting bolts. If necessary, tighten the
bolts to the correct torque.
2. Check the operator's seat and the mounting parts for the seat belt. Tighten
the bolts to the correct torque. Replace parts that have wear or damage.
