WARNING
The ROPS protection system may not be effective if the roll-bar pins are loose, which,
in a rollover, could result in death or serious injury.
When the roll bar is in the raised position, you must install both roll-bar pins and both
lynch pins to ensure full ROPS protection.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, engage the parking brake,
