Keep the ROPS locked in the upright position and
the seat belt securely fastened during operation.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or loss
of life.
WARNING
Alterations or modications to this machine and/
or the ROPS structure can reduce safety and could
cause damage to the machine. Do not alter the
ROPS. Do not alter any other safety devices.
Your power unit is equipped with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS). This ROPS was tested and certied in
accordance with the following standards.
ROPS: SAE J1194 and OSHA 1928.51 = maximum GVW of 1,818 kg (4,000 pounds).
ISO 21299 = maximum GVW of 1,329 kg (2,930 pounds).
Seat Belt Anchorage: ISO 3776-2, ISO 3776-3, ISO 6683, & SAE J386
• The ROPS certication applies only when the roll bar is locked in the upright position. Be aware that there is
no rollover protection when a folding ROPS is in the down position.
• DO NOT remove the ROPS. Alterations to the ROPS structure are not permitted.
• Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary and raise the roll bar to the upright position as soon as
clearance allows. Never lower a folding ROPS in areas where there are slopes, drop os, or water.
• Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches, doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any
objects and do not contact them.
• Always wear the seat belt when the roll bar is locked in the upright position. Be certain the seat belt can be
released quickly in the event of an emergency.
• Do not wear a seat belt when the roll bar has been lowered to the down position.
• If any part of this ROPS experiences structural damage, the entire ROPS must be replaced.
• Inspect the seat belt for wear or damage before use. Failure to inspect or maintain the seat belt can cause
injury or loss of life.
Operator Access System
• The operator access system is on the left side of the power unit. Mount and dismount the 4500 power unit
only from the left side.
