Using the Rollover-Protection
System (ROPS)
•
The ROPS is an integral and effective safety
device. Keep the ROPS in the raised and locked
position and use the seat belt when operating the
machine.
•
Lower the ROPS temporarily only when absolutely
necessary. Do not wear the seat belt when the
ROPS is folded down.
•
Be aware there is no rollover protection when the
ROPS is in the down position.
•
Be certain that the seat belt can be released
quickly in the event of an emergency.
•
Check the area to be mowed and never fold down
the ROPS in areas where there are slopes, drop
offs or water.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e.
branches, doorways, electrical wires) before
driving under any objects and do not contact them.
•
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by
periodically thoroughly inspecting for damage and
keeping all mounting fasteners tight.
•
Replace a damaged ROPS. Do not repair or
revise.
•
Do not remove the ROPS.
•
Any alterations to a ROPS must be approved by
the manufacturer.
•
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
