Checking the ROPS/FOPS Structure
!!
WARNING
The machine is fitted with a Roll Over Protection
Structure (ROPS) and a Falling Objects Protection
Structure (FOPS). You could be killed or seriously injured
if you operate the machine with a damaged or missing
ROPS/FOPS. If the ROPS/FOPS has been in an accident,
do not use the machine until the structure has been
renewed. Modifications and repairs that are not
approved by the manufacturer may be dangerous and
will invalidate the ROPS/FOPS certification.
INT-2-1-9/3
For assistance, contact your JCB distributor. Failure to take
these precautions could result in death or injury to the
operator.
Check the structure for damage. Check that the mounting
bolts are installed and undamaged. Check the bolt torques.
Tighten them to the correct torque if necessary.
Torque-tighten bolts A to 200 Nm (148 lbf ft).

Checking the Fire Extinguisher
Check the fire extinguisher for damage, security and signs of
leaking.
Check that the gauge B indicates that the extinguisher is
charged ie. the needle is in the GREEN segment.
Note: If the needle is in or very near the RED segment at
either end of the gauge, the extinguisher must be serviced or
replaced.
Make sure the safety pin is fitted and secure.
The extinguisher should be serviced every 12 months by a
suitably qualified person.
