Rollover Protection System
(ROPS) Safety
•
Do not remove the ROPS from the machine.
•
Ensure that the seat belt is attached and that you
can release it quickly in an emergency.
•
Check carefully for overhead obstructions and do
not contact them.
•
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by
thoroughly inspecting it periodically for damage
and keeping all the mounting fasteners tight.
•
Replace a damaged ROPS. Do not repair or alter
it.
Machines with a Foldable Roll Bar
•
Always use the seat belt with the roll bar in the
raised position.
•
The ROPS is an integral safety device. Keep a
folding roll bar in the raised and locked position,
and use the seat belt when operating the machine
with the roll bar in the raised position.
•
Lower a folding roll bar temporarily only when
necessary. Do not wear the seat belt when the
roll bar is folded down.
•
Be aware that there is no rollover protection when
a folded roll bar is in the down position.
•
Check the area that you will be mowing and never
fold down a folding roll bar in areas where there
are slopes, drop-offs, or water.
Slope Safety
•
Slow down the machine and use extra care on
hillsides. Travel up and down on hillsides. Turf
conditions can affect the stability of the machine.
•
Avoid turning the machine on slopes. If you must
turn the machine, turn it slowly and gradually
downhill, if possible.
•
Do not turn the machine sharply. Use care when
reversing the machine.
•
Use extra care while operating the machine with
attachments; they can affect the stability of the
machine.
