CAUTION: Make certain all parts are installed correctly if roll over protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or removed for any reason. Tighten mounting bolts to proper torque. (See specification in ROPS MAINTENANCE OR REPLACEMENT, in General Maintenance and Inspection section.)

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 must 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 shown) 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.

Raise ROPS up again and pin in vertical position as soon as the tractor is operated under normal conditions.
