Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
WARNING
Alterations or modifications to this machine and/or
the ROPS structure can reduce safety and could
cause damage to the machine. Do not alter the
ROPS. Do not alter any other safety devices.
WARNING
Keep the ROPS locked in the upright position and
the seat belt securely fastened during operation.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or
loss of life.
Your power unit is equipped with a Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS). This ROPS was tested in accor-
dance with ISO 21299 (ROPS) and ISO 3776-2 and ISO 3776-3 (Seat Belt Anchorage). This ROPS is certi-
fied for use on a Ventrac 3400 with a maximum GVW of 2,200 pounds (1,000 Kg).
•
ROPS certification applies only when the roll bar is locked in the upright position. Be aware there is no
rollover protection when a folding ROPS is in the down position.
• DO NOT remove the ROPS. Alterations to the ROPS structure are not permitted.
• Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary and raise the roll bar to the upright position as soon
as clearance allows. Never lower a folding ROPS in areas where there are slopes, drop offs, or water.
• Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches, doorways, electrical wires) before driving under
any objects and do not contact them.
• Always wear the seat belt when the roll bar is locked in the upright position. Be certain the seat belt can
be released quickly in the event of an emergency.
• Do not wear a seat belt when the roll bar has been lowered to the down position.
• If any part of this ROPS experiences structural damage, the entire ROPS must be replaced.
• Inspect the seat belt for wear or damage before use. Failure to inspect or maintain the seat belt can
cause injury or loss of life.
