6.01 Falling-object protective structure (FOPS)
The FOPS safety equipment is a design that prevents the driver from
being injured by falling objects.
If available, the FOPS safety equipment is integrated into the cabin
roof, sunroof or weather-protection roof, depending on the machine's
equipment. The FOPS material number is then shown on the ROPS type
plate.
If a design with FOPS safety equipment is dismounted from the machine
for transport or repair, it must be remounted according to specifications
before the machine is used again.
Installation
NOTE
A damaged FOPS component must only be installed or
replaced by specialist personnel who are trained to do so.
Inform customer service.
