b Seat Controlled Safety System
To help prevent accidents a safety system prevents the engine
being started unless the operator is sat on the seat.
An inhibitor switch in the seat is operated by the weight of the
operator and the seat must be adjusted for the drivers weight.
b Seat Belt
A seat belt is provided for operator safety, it must be worn at all
times the machine is in use. It is important that the seat belt is
inspected and checked regularly See Maintenance Section.
b ROPS
A ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) is provided for
operator safety.
Although ROPS seem to be relatively maintenance-free, regular
periodic inspections to ensure ROPS are damage free and thus
capable of functioning in a rollover cannot be over emphasized.
Through periodic inspections, cracks, loose bolts, damage, and
other normal wear and tear related problems can be eliminated
before they become serious.
Proper inspection and maintenance procedures can ensure that
ROPS will perform the life saving function they are designed
for and expected to do.
Details on the inspection and maintenance of the ROPS will be
found in the Maintenance Section.
b

cause serious injury or loss of life in the event of an

b
The seat belt MUST be worn at all times when operating
this equipment.
b
Do NOT modify or attach items to the ROPS without the
manufacturers approval.
Do NOT use the ROPS as an attachment point for towing
or pulling equipment.
