WARNING
Do not use the machine if the falling objects protection
level provided by the structure is not sufficient for the
application. Falling objects can cause serious injury.
8-2-8-17
If the machine is used in any application where there is a
risk of falling objects then a falling-objects protective
structure (FOPS) must be installed. For further information
contact your JCB Dealer
The falling objects protection structure (FOPS) is fitted with
a dataplate. The dataplate indicates what level protection
the structure provides.
There are two levels of FOPS:
–
Level I Impact Protection
- impact strength for
protection from small falling objects (e.g. bricks, small
concrete blocks, hand tools) encountered in
operations such as highway maintenance,
landscaping and other construction site services.
–
Level II Impact Protection
- impact strength for
protection from heavy falling objects (e.g. trees,
rocks) for machines involved in site clearing,
overhead demolition or forestry.
For an example of the FOPS data plate, refer to
