Keep Occupant Protective System (OPS) Installed Properly

• Never operate the machine without the OPS installed.
• Make certain all parts of the OPS are installed correctly if the OPS structure is loosened or removed for any reason. All OPS hardware should be tightened to the proper torque per manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Any alteration of the OPS must be approved by the manufacturer. The protection provided by the OPS will be impaired if the OPS is subjected to structural damage, is involved in an overturn incident, or is in any way altered by welding, bending, drilling, or cutting.
• Never attempt to repair a damaged or altered OPS. It must be replaced to maintain the manufacturer’s certification of the structure.
