6.00 Roll-over protection structure (ROPS)
The ROPS safety device (cab/roll-over bar) is a rollover protection
structure in the case the machine tilts or rolls over. It avoids that the
driver is crushed to death based on the high self-weight of the machine.
If the ROPS safety equipment is dismounted from the machine for
transport or repair, it must be remounted according to specifications
before the machine is used again.
WARNING
High self-weight of machine!
If the machine overturns backwards, forwards or sideways there is a
danger of serious injuries or death.
■
Operate machine only with the ROPS safety device installed
according to instructions and while wearing the safety belt.
■
With detectable defects of the ROPS safety device or of its fixation
it is not allowed to operate the machine.
Assembly
WARNING
High self-weight of ROPS safety device!
Serious injuries or death caused by crushing or getting caught during
assembly.
■
Perform installation work on firm ground (flat, stable, horizontal).
■
Carry out fitting work only when the engine is stopped.
■
Use suitable load suspension and hitching gear with an adequate
loading capacity.
■
Do not step underneath suspended loads.
NOTE
Observe the service manual for mounting the ROPS safety
equipment.
Use appropriate lifting devices and hoisting equipment. Observe
weight (see type plate of ROPS safety device).
Lift ROPS safety device onto platform and align with fixing holes.
Screw ROPS safety device with operator platform. Observe specified
starting torque values.
Visual test
The machine frame must not be warped, bent or cracked in the ROPS
fixing area (deformation).
The reinforcement elements of the ROPS safety device must not show
rust, damage, fissures or open fractures.
All screw connections of the reinforcement elements must comply with
the given specifications and must be screwed tightly to each other
(observe starting torque values). Bolts and nuts must not be damaged,
bent or deformed.
It is absolutely forbidden to modify or repair/level the reinforcement
elements in any way.
