Routine Maintenance

Checking the FOPS Structure

All excavators are designed so that an operator’s

protective structure can be fitted. In certain applications

such as demolition, machines must be fitted with the

optional Falling Objects Protection Structure (FOPS). It is

the operator’s responsibility to identify the risk of an

application.

! WARNING

If a machine requires a Falling Objects Protection

Structure (FOPS), you could be killed or seriously

injured if you operate the machine in a dangerous

application with a damaged or missing FOPS

Structure. If the FOPS has been in an accident, do not

use the machine until the structure has been renewed.

Modifications that are not approved by the

manufacturer may be dangerous and will invalidate the

FOPS certification.
