After your ROPS has been installed: 

Before starting a reel mower equipped with a Tektite ROPS: 

1. Clear  the  operator  platform  of  all  tools.  Tools  left  in  or  around  the  ROPS  and  mower  can 
cause operator interference which could lead to bodily injury and/or damage the machine.
2. Inspect the ROPS and mower to ensure all bolts are tight and re-tighten if required.
3. Ensure that all pedals, levers, and controls have adequate clearance for normal operation.
4. Ensure that all electrical components of both the ROPS and mower operate normally.
5. Ensure your door latches properly onto the striker pin.  Immediately after installation, the
ROPS frame may flex slightly from installation, and the door latch will need to be re-aligned for
proper operation.  Loosen the striker pin, striker mounting plate and door latch as necessary to
get a proper alignment of the door striker.

Service Parts Breakdowns: 

Following  are  parts  breakdowns  for  components  that  may  require  service  parts  replacement 
during the life of the ROPS.  If you require replacement parts, please contact the dealer that 
you purchased the ROPS from and indicate which parts you require.
