FOGS Data Plate
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.
If the machine is used in any application where there is a risk of falling objects then a FOGS (Falling Object
Guard System) must be installed. For further information, contact your JCB dealer.
The FOGS has a data plate attached. The data plate indicates what level of protection the structure provides.
There are two levels of FOGS:
• Level I Impact Protection - impact strength for protection from small falling objects (e.g. bricks, small
concrete blocks, hand tools) encountered in operations such as highway maintenance, landscaping and
other construction site services.
• Level II Impact Protection - impact strength for protection from heavy falling objects (e.g. trees, rocks) for
machines involved in site clearing, overhead demolition or forestry.

ROPS Data Plate
WARNING Your machine may be fitted with a Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) indicating that the
purchaser specified the machine for use in applications where there is risk of roll-over. ROPS is a device
to protect the operator in the event of roll-over. Any damage or modification to the structure may invalidate
the ROPS certification. If damage has occurred then an authorised JCB dealer should be consulted.
An excavator with a ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) can be identified by referring to the identification
plate. Work place (work site, job site) risk assessment should facilitate the machine selection and the need
for an excavator with a ROPS.
TOPS Data Plate
An excavator with a TOPS (Tip-Over Protective Structure) can be identified by referring to the cab identification
plate. Work place (work site, job site) risk assessment should facilitate the machine selection and the need
for an excavator with a TOPS.
