4.3 Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS)
See Graphic: wc_gr002233
The machine is equipped with a Roll Over Protection Structure
(ROPS).
Do not use the machine without the ROPS in place. The ROPS is
designed to protect the operator in a rollover accident.
The machine is normally delivered to the customer with the ROPS
folded forward to facilitate transport.
Before using the machine, position the ROPS in the fully upright
position as follows:
4.3.1 Support the ROPS (a) using a crane and suitable rigging capable of
supporting 70 kg (155 lbs.).
CAUTION: Do not use the ROPS to lift the machine.
4.3.2 Remove the safety pin (b) and pull out the locking pin (c). Do so on
both sides.
4.3.3 Lift the ROPS into the upright position.
4.3.4 Insert the locking pins and secure them with the safety pins.
4.3.5 Tighten the adjusting screw (d) as needed to reduce vibration.
Each month, check the torque on all of the screws holding the ROPS
in place. Check that the ROPS frame is not rusty, cracked, broken, or
damaged in any way.
Keep the ROPS in the extended (upright) position when using the
roller, and always use the seat belts provided.
Change the seat belts every 3 years, or any time they have been
subjected to accident-level loads.
If the ROPS has been removed from the machine, it must be
reinstalled before the machine is used. When reinstalling the ROPS,
use the original nuts and bolts and tighten the bolts to the specified
torques.
Do not weld or drill into the ROPS. Drilling or welding on the ROPS will
nullify the ROPS certification.
