SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

ROPS Inspection Guide
ROPS, like any other safety device, need
to be periodically inspected to verify that the
integrity of the device has not been
compromised through normal machine use,
misuse, age degradation, modifications, or
roll-overs.
Some mechanical discretion is essential.
Therefore, personnel who inspect ROPS need
to comprehend and understand the
significance of issues like - if in doubt,
remove the machine from service and contact
the ROPS manufacturer for assistance.
Certain conditions will absolutely render the
ROPS unusable. Such examples are:
•
Permanent deformation or twisting
• Missing, damaged, or loose mounting
hardware
• Heavily weathered or torn rubber isola-
tors
• Mounting hardware that is of a grade
lesser than specified
• Any cracks in the structure (structural
members and/or welds)
• Significant corrosion
• Modifications (i.e. unauthorized welds
and or/holes)
• Missing or unreadable ROPS label
• Applicable ROPS machine model not
specified on the ROPS label
• Missing seat belts
• Any unauthorized repair
• Incomplete/improper installation
Other conditions may require imminent
service, but may not render the unit
immediately unusable. Such examples are:
•
Faded paint
• Slightly weathered isolators
• Faded, hard to read ROPS label
• Significantly corroded mounting hard-
ware
ROPS must be inspected immediately
after any type of collision, roll-over, or
impact. If any damage is evident, the ROPS
must be removed from service, repaired, and/
or replaced.
When a ROPS is removed or reinstalled,
mounting hardware must be examined for
signs of over-stressing. Damaged mounting
hardware must be replaced with proper
specification hardware before placing the
ROPS back in service.
Properly maintained seat belts are
essential to compliment the operator crush
protection designed into the ROPS. All seat
belt and/or seat belt anchorage systems that
show evidence of cuts, fraying or wear,
significant discolorations due to exposure to
the elements, heavily soiled - especially with
oil grease or fuel, or any type of damage must
be immediately replaced, regardless of age.
Operators are to be instructed to properly
adjust and use seat belts at all times.
SAFETY DECALS
Decals warning you of avoidable danger
are located on various parts of the machine
and attachment. They are there for your
personal safety and protection. DO NOT
remove them. They will fracture upon
attempted removal and therefore, must be
replaced.
Following are locations of important
safety decals. Replace them if they are
damaged or missing. All safety decals,
instructional decals, or machine striping may
be purchased through the Hagie Customer
Support Department.
To replace safety decals, ensure the
installation area is clean and dry and decide
on exact position before you remove the
backing paper.
