Check the ROPS/FOPS Structure
WARNING You could be killed or seriously injured
if you operate a machine with a damaged or
missing ROPS/FOPS/FOGS. If the ROPS/FOPS/
FOGS has been in an accident, do not use the
machine until the structure has been renewed.
Modifications and repairs that are not approved
by the manufacturer may be dangerous and will
invalidate the ROPS/FOPS/FOGS certification.
A failure to do these precautions can cause death or
injury to the operator.
1. Make the machine safe. Refer to (PIL 01-03).
2. Carry out a thorough inspection of the operator's
station.
3. Any damage must be repaired before the
machine is used again.

Over Protective Structure)/FOPS (Falling Object
Protective Structure) mounting bolts are
undamaged and in position.
5. Make sure that the ROPS/FOPS mounting bolts
are tightened to the correct torque setting.
