MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF
THE ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE
STRUCTURE (ROPS)
NOTE: Inspect the ROPS after the first 20
hours of operation. Following the initial
inspection, check the ROPS after every 500
hours of operation or every six months,
whichever comes first.
1. Check the torque of the ROPS mounting
bolts, A. Tighten the bolts to the correct
torque of 97 N
·m if necessary.
2. Inspect the operator’s seat and the mounting
parts for the seat belt. Tighten the bolts, A,
to the correct torque of 50.0 N
·m if necessary
and replace parts that show wear or damage.
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: ALWAYS PULL FROM THE
MOWER DRAWBAR. NEVER ATTACH
CHAINS, ROPES, OR CABLES TO THE
ROPS OR CAB FOR PULLING PURPOSES
OR THE MOWER WILL TIP BACKWARDS.
WARNING: IF THE ROPS OR CAB IS
REMOVED OR REPLACED, MAKE SURE
THAT THE PROPER HARDWARE IS USED
AND THE RECOMMENDED TORQUE
VALUES ARE APPLIED TO THE ATTACHING
BOLTS.
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT
BELT UNLESS THE MOWER IS NOT
EQUIPPED WITH A ROPS OR SAFETY CAB.
IN THIS CASE, THE SEAT BELT SHOULD
NEVER BE WORN.
