WARNING: Do not operate the mower with the
ROPS folded (lowered position) as a standard operat-
ing mode. A folded ROPS does not provide rollover
protection.
WARNING: Always wear your seat belt unless the
ROPS is folded down. In this case, the seat belt should
never be worn.
WARNING: To minimize chance of injury or death
from rollover:
Keep ROPS in the raised and locked position and
use the seat belt.
Never operate machine on a slope with the ROPS
folded down (lowered position).
There is no roll over protection when the ROPS is
in the lowered position.
Lower the ROPS only when absolutely necessary.
Drive slowly and carefully. Raise the ROPS as soon
as clearance permits. Read and follow slope opera-
tion instructions and warnings.
Do not wear seat belt when the ROPS is in the low-
ered position.
WARNING: Always pull from the tractor hitch. Do
not attach chains or ropes to the ROPS for pulling pur-
poses, as the machine can tip backwards.
Always fasten seat belt during operation of the machine
(mower equipped with ROPS in “raised/up” position).
Inspect the area to be mowed for proper overhead clearance
(tree limbs, guy wires, doorways, etc)
Do not contact any overhead object with the ROPS.Inspect
the seat belt system (all seat, seat belt parts, seat pan and seat
pan latch) daily prior to mowing for signs of any damage. These
parts should be replaced if any parts indicate signs of:
1. cuts
2. fraying
3. extreme or unusual wear
4. significant discoloration due to UV exposure
5. dirt or stiffness
6. abrasion to the seat belt webbing
7. damage to the buckle, latch plate or hardware.
8. or any other problem
If the seat belt is to be cleaned, use soap and water. Do not use
carbon tetrachloride, naphtha, etc., as these will weaken the
webbing. For the same reason, do not bleach or dye the
webbing. Replace seat belt if worn or damaged.
Possible damage to the ROPS
If the unit has rolled over or the ROPS has been in some other
type of accident (such as hitting an overhead object during
transport), the ROPS must be replaced to retain the best
protection.
Following an accident, check the ROPS, the operator’s seat,
and the seat belt and seat belt mountings for possible damage,
Before operating the machine, replace all damaged parts.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to weld or straighten the
ROPS.
WARNING: If the ROPS is removed or replaced,
make sure that the proper hardware is used and the
recommended torque values are applied to the attach-
ing bolts.
WARNING: The ROPS structure’s protective
capability may be impaired by structural damage,
overturn or alteration. Do not remove or alter any of
the ROPS parts. Do not attempt to weld or straighten
ROPS. Failure to adhere to these instructions could
result in severe injury or death.
