Operating Foldable ROPS-If Equipped
The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if ROPS is subjected to structural damage, as in an overturn incident, or is in anyway 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 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. Fold the ROPS up again as soon as the tractor is operated under normal conditions. To Lower ROPS Crossbar (A):1. Remove quick-lock pins (B) and bottom headed pin (C) on both sides of ROPS. 2. Lower crossbar (A) of ROPS onto stops. 3. Reinstall pins (C and B) into bottom holes in ROPS to lock crossbar down. To Put ROPS in Operating Position:1. Remove bottom headed pin (C) and quick-lock pins (B) on both sides of ROPS. 2. Lift crossbar (A) of ROPS to vertical position. 3. Reinstall pins (C and B) into bottom holes in ROPS to lock in position. |

CAUTION:
