ROPS2D
The ROPS2D option is an early warning and functions management system
for reducing the rollover risk.
WARNING!
ROPS2D does not replace the rollover bar. The ROPS must be raised during
operation.
WARNING!
ROPS2D cannot prevent machine rollover; the purpose of the protection
system is to reduce the rollover risk. In combination with operator training,
this system will help to make machine rollover less common.
The ROPS2D for reducing rollover risk is a two-stage system:
STAGE 1
By means of a red warning light (1)
on the instrument panel and an
acoustic alarm in the driver's area,
ROPS2D warns the operator that the
roller has reached a working angle
presenting a possible hazard.
NOTE
Only the angle of the front roller
drum transverse to the direction of
travel is measured.
STAGE 2
ROPS2D switches vibration off if the working angle increases or a critical
situation occurs. This happens in order to reduce the risks of edge failure,
lateral drifting or unexperienced operating personnel.
