Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Using the Rollover Protection
System (ROPS)
To avoid injury or death from a rollover, keep the
roll bar in the raised locked position and use the
seat belt.
Ensure that the rear part of the seat is secured
with the seat latch.
Warning
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is
in the down position.
•
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
•
Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is in
the down position.
•
Drive slowly and carefully.
•
Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances (e.g.,
branches, doorways, and electrical wires) before
driving under any objects and do not contact
them.
