C - Head Pins

D - Quick-Lock Pin

CAUTION: Make certain all parts are installed correctly if roll-over protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or removed for any reason. Tighten mounting bolts for proper torque.

This protection offered by ROPS will be impaired, as in an overturn incident, or is in anyway altered by welding, bending, drilling or cutting. A damaged ROPS should be replaced, not reused. Any alteration to the ROPS must be approved by manufacturer.

When installation of equipment on a machine necessitates loosening or removing Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) (A), mounting bolts (B) should be tightened to 335 N.m (250 lb-ft).

Inspect ROPS mounting hardware every 250 hours for proper torque or replacement.

TO LOWER ROPS CROSSBAR (A):

1. Remove quick-lock pins (D) and heading pins (C).
2. Lower crossbar (A) of ROPS onto stops.
3. Reinstall pins (C and D) into holes in ROPS to lock crossbar down.

CAUTION: 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 PUT ROPS IN OPERATING POSITION:

1. Lift crossbar (A) of ROPS to position shown. Install pins (C) and quick-lock pins (D).
