OPERATOR CAB
Description
The Bobcat loader has an operator cab (ROPS and
FOPS) as standard equipment to protect the operator
from rollover and falling objects. Check with your dealer
if the operator cab has been damaged. The seat belt must
be worn for roll over protection.
ROPS/FOPS Roll Over Protective Structure per SAE
J104 and ISO 3471, and Falling Object Protective
Structure per SAE J1043 and ISO 3449, Level l. Level ll
is available.
Level l – Protection from falling bricks, small concrete
blocks and hand tools encountered in operations such as
highway maintenance, landscaping, and other
construction site services.
Level ll – Protection from falling trees, rocks; for machines
involved in site clearing, overhead demolition or forestry.
Raising The Operator Cab
Stop the loader on a level surface. Lower the lift arms. If
the lift arms must be up while raising the operator cab,
install the lift arm support device. (See Page 1–7.)
Loosen the nut (Item 1) [A] (both sides) at the front corner
of the operator cab.
Remove the nut and plate (both sides) [B].

slowly until the cab latching mechanism engages and the
