Operator Protective Structure
WARNING Do not use the machine if the falling objects protection level provided by the structure is not
sufficient for the application. Falling objects can cause serious injury.
Machines built to ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure)/FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) standards
have an identification label installed to the left hand side of the bulkhead. Refer to Figure 10.
The FOPS structure provides Level II impact protection against falling objects (as defined in ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) 3449:2005).
If the machine is used in any application where there is a risk of falling objects then a FOPS must be installed.
For further information contact your JCB dealer.
The FOPS is installed with a data plate. The data plate indicates what level protection the structure provides.
There are two levels of FOPS:
• Level I Impact Protection- impact strength for protection from small falling objects (e.g. bricks, small
concrete blocks, hand tools) encountered in operations such as highway maintenance, landscaping and
other construction site services.
• Level II Impact Protection- impact strength for protection from heavy falling objects (e.g. trees, rocks) for
machines involved in site clearing, overhead demolition or forestry.
