A damaged roll-over protective structure (ROPS) should be replaced, not reused.
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 by welding, bending, drilling, or cutting.
If ROPS was loosened or removed for any reason, inspect it carefully before operating the machine again.
|
To maintain the ROPS:
-
Replace missing hardware using correct grade hardware.
-
Check hardware torque.
-
Check isolation mounts for damage, looseness or wear; replace them if necessary.
-
Check ROPS for cracks or physical damage.
