Check for:-
• Worn, damaged or missing mountings. If there is excessive movement or rattling during
operation the ROPS mountings must be checked and replaced if necessary.
• Loose or missing nuts, bolts and washers. Missing items must be replaced with those of the
same grade/specification. Bolts and nuts should be tightened to the correct torque.
• Cracks in the ROPS and its mountings.
• Paint peeling and corrosion. If necessary take corrective action.
If the machine has rolled over or been involved in an accident in which the ROPS could have
been damaged the ROPS must be replaced.
If you have any doubts regarding the integrity of the ROPS and for replacement parts consult
your Mecalac dealer.
