SAFETY Rollover Protection System The Rollover Protection System (ROPS) increases the basic weight of the unit by 25 kg (55 lb). • Do not permit others to ride. • Operate mower smoothly, no jerky turns, starts or stops. • When mower is stopped, engage park brake securely. • ROPS bar is NOT intended for use in sub zero temperatures. WARNING! Please note that there is NO roll over protection when the ROPS is folded down. • Do not use ROPS as a lifting, attaching or anchoring point. • Do not use ROPS for wrecking or towing. • Do not exceed maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW) of: 618 kg (1362 lb). • Read the operator manual before use. • Securely fasten the seat belt if the unit has a ROPS. • Be certain the seat belt operates correctly and can be released quickly in the event of an emergency. • Keep folding ROPS in the raised and locked position and use the seat belt when operating the machine. • Lower a folding ROPS temporarily only when absolutely necessary. Do NOT wear the seat belt when the ROPS is folded down. • Check carefully for overhead clearance (i.e. before driving under trees, electrical wires, through doorways) while loading into a truck or trailer. • Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by periodically inspecting for damage and keeping all mounting fasteners tight. Check all bolts, including on the seat belt, for correct torque before each use. • Check the ROPS structure for damage before each use. If any part of the ROPS is damaged, the entire ROPS must be replaced. • DO NOT remove the ROPS. • Where possible, avoid operating the unit near ditches, embankments and holes. • Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes and on rough, slick or muddy surfaces. Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation. • Watch where you are going, especially at row ends, on roads and around trees. 11
