Battery Disconnect Switch
(Optional) (Fig. 5-8)
On loaders equipped with a battery disconnect switch,
the battery can be disconnected from the electrical
system by turning the switch to the “OFF” position. The
switch is found below the battery, on the left side of the
loader.
ROPS/FOPS & Lock Mechanism
(Fig. 5-9)
The ROPS/FOPS is designed to protect the operator
from falling objects and provide protection if the loader
tips or rolls over provided the operator is secured inside
the ROPS by the seat belt and restraint bar.
For service, unbolt the ROPS and tilt it back slowly,
moving the control handles out of the way. Two
gas-charged springs help tilt it back. A self-actuating
lock mechanism engages to lock the ROPS in a
rolled-back position. To lower the ROPS, apply upward
force on it while pulling the lock mechanism handle
toward the front of the loader. Lower the ROPS slowly
onto the chassis, moving the control handles out of the
way. Reinstall the anchor bolts, washers and locknuts.
WARNING
NEVER operate the loader with the ROPS
removed or locked back. BE SURE the lock
mechanism pin is securely engaged with the
ROPS tilted back. Properly support the ROPS
while unlatching the lock mechanism handle
and lowering the ROPS. BE SURE to reinstall
front anchor bolts, washers and locknuts
BEFORE resuming loader operation.
Rear Window Emergency Exit
(Fig. 5-10)
The ROPS rear window has three functions: noise
reduction, falling objects barrier and emergency exit.
To use the emergency exit, pull on the yellow warning
tag at the top of the window behind the seat and remove
the seal. Push or kick the window out and exit.
See your local automotive glass specialist to replace the
window.
