ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE

Your machine has a roll-over protective structure (ROPS) which is also certified for falling object protection (FOPS). A ROPS label is fastened to the structure. The ROPS label shows the serial number of the ROPS, gross weight, approval, regulation, and model numbers of the machine.

Before you operate this machine, always make sure that the ROPS and operators seat belts are correctly installed.

Maintenance and Inspection of ROPS

After the first 20 hours of operation and after every 500 hours of operation, do the following: 1.Check the torque of the ROPS mounting bolts. If necessary, tighten the bolts to the correct torque. See Torque Specifications for ROPS, page 139. 2.Check the operators seat and the mounting parts for the seat belt.

Tighten the bolts to the correct torque. See Torque Specifications for Seat, pages 140 and 143.

Replace parts that have wear or damage. 3.Check for cracks, rust, or holes in the ROPS and ROPS parts. Age, weather, and accidents can cause damage to the ROPS and ROPS parts. If you have any doubt about the ROPS system, see your Case dealer.

Damage to the ROPS

If the machine has rolled over or the ROPS has been in some other type of accident (such as hitting an overhead object during transport), you must replace the damaged ROPS component parts.

After an accident, check the following for damage. 1.ROPS canopy and side screens. 2.Operators seat. 3.Seat belt mounting bolts and seat belt.
