B - Quick-Lock Pins

C - Headed Pins


CAUTION: Make certain all parts are installed correctly if roll-over protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or removed for any reason. Replace and tighten mounting cap screws to proper torque.

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 manufacturer approved.

Always keep upper part of ROPS pinned in vertical position (as pictured) when operating tractor. If tractor is operated with ROPS folded (for example, 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: OOS shown; Deluxe OOS similar.
