ROLL-OVER PROTECTION
STRUCTURE (ROPS)
The cab on your machine is featured with
a Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS),
which is intended to protect the operator from
injuries caused by machine rollovers.
The following ROPS certification decal
(located inside cab on the rear right-hand
b-post) indicates that your cab has met
specific testing requirements and is
compliant with Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) and
International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) regulations.
NOTE: The ROPS/Vehicle Test Weight
listed on the certification decal is the
maximum overall weight (including
machine, solution, and attachment)
allowed to be compliant with ROPS
testing.
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

NOTICE
The addition of optional equipment on
your machine may increase the ROPS
maximum overall weight. If this weight
exceeds the vehicle test weight, the
ROPS becomes non-compliant.
