Keep ROPS Installed Properly

causym CAUTION: Make certain all parts are reinstalled correctly if the rollover protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or removed for any reason. Tighten mounting bolts to proper torque.

The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if ROPS is subjected to structural damage, is involved in an overturn incident, or is in any way altered. A damaged ROPS should be replaced, not reused.

When installation of equipment on a machine necessitates loosening or removing ROPS, mounting bolts must be tightened to 420 ± 84 N·m (310 ± 62 ft-lb).
