Operator Protective Structure
Warning! Machines with a ROPS, FOPS or TOPS are equipped with a seat belt. The ROPS, FOPS or
TOPS is designed to give you protection in an accident. If you do not wear the seat belt you could be thrown
off the machine and crushed. You must wear a seat belt when using the machine. Fasten the seat belt
before starting the engine.
Warning! Do not use the machine if the falling objects protection level provided by the structure is not
sufficient for the application. Falling objects can cause serious injury.
Machines built to FOPS (Falling-Object Protective Structure) standards have an identification label fitted to the
inside of the cab.
The FOPS structure provides Impact Protection against falling objects (as defined in ISO 6005:2004).
If the machine is used in any application where there is a risk of falling objects then a FOPS must be installed.
For further information contact your JCB Dealer.
The FOPS is fitted with a dataplate. The dataplate indicates what level protection the structure provides.
