The machine cannot be steered.
Tow the machine only after having released the parking brake.
Max. towing speed 1 km/h (0.6 mph), max. towing distance 500 m
(0.3 mi).
The frame of the machine must not be warped, bent or cracked in
the area of the ROPS fastening.
The ROPS must not show any rust, damage, hairline cracks or
open fractures.
The real machine weight must never exceed the testing weight for
the ROPS.
The ROPS must not rattle about when driving. This indicates that it
is not properly fastened. All bolted connections must comply with
the specifications and should be absolutely tight (observe the tight-
ening torques). Screw and nuts must not be damaged, bent or
deformed.
No accessories may be welded or bolted on and no additional
holes must be drilled without the consent of the manufacturer,
since this will impair the strength of the unit.
The ROPS must therefore also not be straightened or repaired if it
is damaged.
A defect ROPS must generally be replaced with an original spare
part in close coordination with the manufacturer.
