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.
