SECTION 3 – LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
3-20
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF THE
ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE
(POPS)
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 ① on top of each fender. Tighten the
bolts to the correct torque of 50 N·m if
necessary.
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 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 tractor drawbar pin hole.
Never attach chains, ropes, or cables to the
ROPS or cab for pulling purposes or the
tractor 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.
