IMPORTANT: Always make certain the two bypass valves
are returned to their operating position before running the
mower following repairs.
ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure)
A ROPS may minimize the chance of injury or death from
rollover.
A ROPS, when used with a seat belt, is effective in reducing
injuries during unit overturn accidents. Overturning the unit
without a ROPS or without the ROPS locked in the raised
position (
Figure 3-8) can result in serious injury or death.
Pivot the two-post ROPS down by removing the right and
left hair pins (
Figure 3-8), and pulling out on the spring
loaded pins to allow the machine to operate under low
hanging tree limbs or other obstructions.
NOTE: When the ROPS is locked in the raised position
make sure the hair pins are inserted into the holes in the end
of the spring loaded pins.
Do not wear the seat belt when the ROPS is in the lowered
position. Use the ROPS in the “folded” position only when
absolutely necessary.
Always fasten the seat belt during mower operation
(mower equipped with a ROPS in the “raised/up” position).
Inspect the area prior to mowing for proper overhead
clearance (tree limbs, guy wires, doorways, etc).
Do not contact any overhead object with the ROPS.

Do not operate the mower with the ROPS folded
down (lowered position) as a standard operating
mode. A folded down ROPS does not provide
rollover protection.
Always wear your seat belt unless the mower is
not equipped with a ROPS or if the ROPS is folded
down. In this case, the seat belt should never be
worn.
To minimize chance of injury or death from rollover:
• Keep ROPS in the raised and locked position
and use the seat belt.
• Never operate the machine on a slope with the
ROPS folded down (lowered position).
• There is no roll over protection when the ROPS
is in the lowered position.
• Lower the ROPS only when absolutely
necessary. Drive slowly and carefully. Raise
the ROPS as soon as clearance permits. Read
and follow slope operation instructions and
warnings.
• Do not wear seat belt when the ROPS is in the
lowered position or if it is not equipped with
one.
Do not attach chains or ropes to the ROPS for
pulling purposes, as the machine can tip
backwards. Always pull from the mower hitch.
