ROLL BAR INSTRUCTIONS

For models equipped with factory-installed Roll Over Protection System (ROPS).

WARNING

In order to avoid serious injury or death from roll over, it is important to follow the warnings listed below.

OPERATIONAL WARNINGS

Always use the seat belt when the roll bar is in the raised position.

Never use the seat belt when the roll bar is in the down position.

Remember there is no roll over protection when the roll bar is in the down position so it is very important to always keep the roll bar in the raised position whenever possible.

Lower the roll bar to the down position only when it is absolutely necessary.

Check for overhead clearances before driving under any objects. Do not allow roll bar to contact low overhanging obstacles such as tree branches and guide wires.

Never remove the roll bar from the vehicle.

Do not exceed the machine weight rating of the roll bar.

Read and follow all of the instructions shown below regarding the inspection and maintenance of the roll bar structure and the seat belt.

INSPECTION OF THE ROLL BAR PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE

WARNING

Failure to properly inspect and maintain the ROLL BAR protective structure can cause serious injury or death.

A ROLL BAR, like any other safety device, needs to be periodically inspected to verify that the integrity of the device has not been compromised through normal machine use, misuse, age degradation, modifications, or a roll over.

To maintain operator roll over protection and roll bar effectiveness:

If a ROLL BAR becomes damaged for any reason, such as a collision, roll over or impact, the ROLL BAR must be replaced. Small undetectable cracks can reduce the effectiveness of the ROLL BAR. Never weld, straighten, or repair the ROLL BAR.

Never alter the ROLL BAR by welding anything to it or by drilling additional holes.

BEFORE FIRST TIME USE - Inspect the ROLL BAR structure and mounting hardware for:

Operator Safety

1)Check to make sure the machine GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight), including attachments, restrained payload, fuel and operator, is not in excess of the maximum weight specified on the ROLL BAR label.

2)Make sure there isn’t any missing, damaged, or loose mounting hardware.

3)Make sure the ROLL BAR has been correctly and completely installed.

EVERY 100 HOURS - Inspect the ROLL BAR structure and mounting hardware for:

1)Any cracks in the structure (structural members and/or welds).

2)Significant corrosion on any part of the ROLL BAR structure or hardware.

3)Missing, damaged, or loose mounting hardware

4)Mounting hardware that is of a grade lesser than specified.

5)Machine GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight), including attachments, restrained payload, fuel and operator, in excess of the maximum weight specified on the ROLL BAR label.

6)Any modifications that have been made, such as unauthorized welds and holes.

7)Any permanent deformation or twisting of the ROLL BAR structure.

8)That the ROLL BAR label is still in place and is readable.

9)That the ROLL BAR on-product warning labels are still on the ROLL BAR and are readable.

If there is any doubt as to the condition of the ROLL BAR, remove the machine from service and contact your dealer for assistance.
