WARNING
Roll-over hazard!

WARNING
Misuse hazard!
Your machine is equipped with an operator protective structure. DO NOT weld, drill holes, attempt
to straighten, or repair the protective structure. Modification in any way can reduce the structural
integrity of the structure.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0001B
Your machine is equipped with an operator protective
structure, such as:
Roll Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) or Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS).
A ROPS may be a cab frame or a two-posted or
four-posted structure used for the protection of the
operator to minimize the possibility of serious injury.
The mounting structure and fasteners forming the
mounting connection with the machine are part of the
ROPS. The Protective Structure is a special safety
component of your machine.
DO NOT attach any
device to the protective structure for pulling purposes.
DO NOT drill holes into the protective structure. The
protective structure and interconnecting components
are a certified system. Any damage, fire, corrosion or
modification will weaken the structure and reduce your
protection. If this occurs, the protective structure MUST
be replaced so that it will provide the same protection
as a new protective structure. Contact your authorized
dealer for protective structure inspection and replace-
ment. The protective structure MUST be replaced. The
mounting or suspension for the protective structure,
operator seat and suspension, seat belts and mounting
components and wiring within the operator’s protective
system MUST be carefully inspected for damage. All
damaged parts MUST be replaced.
