of a rollover.
When in the raised position, both retaining bolt
assemblies must be installed and fully tightened to
ensure full ROPS protection.
WARNING
When lowering and raising the ROPS frame, fingers
may get pinched between the machine and the
ROPS.
Use caution when lowering and raising the ROPS
to prevent entrapment of fingers between fixed part
and pivot part of the structure.
