FOPS Limitations
Various classes and sizes of off-road
equipment operate in a wide variety of
applications and environmental conditions.
With the intention of providing operators with
reasonable protection from falling objects,
two levels of FOPS (Falling-Object Protective
Structure) acceptance criteria have been
developed based on end use:
¡Level 1 ...... protection from falling bricks,
small concrete blocks and
hand encountered in
operations such as highway
maintenance, landscaping
and other construction site
services.
Use a signal person and flagman
Know and use the hand signals required for
particular jobs and make sure who has the
responsibility for signaling.
¡All personnel must fully understand all the
signals.
¡The operator shall respond to signals only
from the appointed signal person, but shall
obey a stop signal at any time from
anyone.
¡The signal person must stand in a clearly
visible location when giving signals.
¡Level 2 ...... protection from falling trees or
rocks for machines involved
in site clearing, overhead
demolition or forestry.
This machine is equipped with a Level 1
FOPS as standard equippment. DO NOT
use this machine in an application that may
involve the hazards of falling trees or rocks.
If Level 2 FOPS protection is required in your
