Rops Maintenance; Checking And Servicing The Rops - Toro 25450A Operator's Manual

ROPS Maintenance

Checking and Servicing the
ROPS
A ROPS certification label located on the support structure
contains information about the maximum gross machine
weight, the machine model number, and the ISO number.
Replacing a Damaged ROPS System
If the ROPS system has been damaged in an accident, such
as a rollover or hitting an overhead object during transport,
replace any damaged ROPS components to restore the ROPS
system to its original level of protection.
Important: Do not try to weld or straighten a damaged
ROPS bar.
After an accident, check the following items for damage:
•
The ROPS bar
•
Operator seat
•
Seat belt mounting
•
Seat belt
Before you operate the machine, replace all damaged ROPS
components; contact an Authorized Toro Service Dealer.
Checking and Caring for the Seat Belt
Before you operate the machine, always ensure that the ROPS
and the seat belt are properly installed and in good working
order.
1. Check the seat belt for damage, and replace all parts
that are damaged.
2. Ensure that the mounting bolts for the seat belts are
tight.
3. Keep the seat belts clean using only soap and water.
Note: Do not immerse the seat belts in bleach or dye,
because this weakens the belt material.
Checking and Maintaining the ROPS
Service Interval: Every 500 hours
