Tilting Back the ROPS/FOPS
A manual hydraulic pump in the engine
compartment is used to tilt back the ROPS/
FOPS. The pump handle is stored in the
rear door. A manual lock mechanism
engages to lock the ROPS/FOPS in a
tilted-back position. To tilt back the ROPS/
FOPS, use the following procedure:
1. Remove the two anchor bolts at the
front of the ROPS/FOPS.
2. Insert the pump handle in to the pump.
3. Tighten the needle valve.
4. Pump until the ROPS/FOPS is tilted
back enough that the lock mechanism
underneath the right side of the ROPS/
FOPS engages.
5. To lower the ROPS/FOPS, return the lock mechanism to the unlocked posi-
tion, and gradually loosen the needle valve. The ROPS/FOPS will slowly
lower. Reinstall the anchor bolts, washers and locknuts. Refer to the Torque
Specifications chart (page 91) for torque information.
Never operate the loader with the ROPS/FOPS
removed or tilted back. Be sure the lock
mechanism is securely engaged when the ROPS/FOPS is tilted
back. Be sure to reinstall the anchor bolts, washers and locknuts
before resuming operation.
