Operating Foldable ROPS
The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if ROPS is subjected to structural damage, as in an overturn incident, or is in any way altered by welding, bending, drilling or cutting. A damaged ROPS should be replaced, not reused. Any alteration to the ROPS must be approved by the manufacturer. Always keep upper part of ROPS pinned in vertical position (as pictured) when operating tractor. If tractor is operated with ROPS folded (e.g., to enter a low building) drive with extreme caution and DO NOT use seat belt. Lift the ROPS up again and pin in vertical position as soon as the tractor is operated under normal conditions. NOTE: Straddle Mount and Hi-Crop shown. IOOS is similar. Lower ROPS Crossbar (A):1. Remove quick-lock pins (B) and headed pins (C). 2. Lower crossbar (A) of ROPS onto stops. 3. Reinstall pins (C and B) into holes in ROPS to lock crossbar down. Put ROPS in Operating Position:1. Remove headed pins (C) and quick-lock pins (B). 2. Lift crossbar (A) of ROPS to vertical position. 3. Reinstall pins (C and B) into holes in ROPS to lock in position. |
