ROPS Data Plate
WARNING
Your machine may be installed with a Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) indicating that the
purchaser specified the machine for use in applications where there is risk of roll-over. ROPS is a device
to protect the operator in the event of roll-over. Any damage or modification to the structure may invalidate
the ROPS certification. If damage has occurred then an authorised JCB dealer should be consulted.
A machine with a ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) can be identified by referring to the cab identification
plate. Work place (work site, job site) risk assessment should facilitate the machine selection and the need
for an machine with a ROPS.

Protection Offered by the Cab
Definition of Category 1
The Cab meets the requirements defined in EN 15695-1. This means that the air delivery and filtration
system does not provide a specified level of protection against hazardous substances but only from external
atmospheric conditions (e.g. rain, wind, snow etc.).
Definition of Category 2
The Cab meets the requirements defined in EN 15695-1. This means that the air delivery and filtration system
provides protection against dust and the minimum differential pressure. The necessary filtered fresh air flow
rate can be obtained using A/C system and by adjusting the maximum fan speed provided that doors, windows
and hatches are closed and the recirculation device is deactivated.
Comfort and Safety Inside the Cab
The cab category 1 does not guarantee full protection against dust, aerosols and vapours.
The cab category 2 cab offers protection against dust but only partially for aerosols and vapours: for application
of plant protection products (e.g. pesticides, fungicides, herbicides), refer to the instructions provided by the
supplier of the chemical agent as well as instructions provided by the sprayer's manufacturer.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be used inside the cab when specified by those directions.
