SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Other conditions may require imminent
service, but may not render the unit
immediately unusable. Such examples are:
•
Faded paint
•
Slightly weathered isolators
•
Faded, hard to read ROPS label
•
Significantly corroded mounting hard-
ware
ROPS must be inspected immediately
after any type of collision, roll-over, or impact.
If any damage is evident, the ROPS must be
removed from service, repaired, and/or
replaced.
When a ROPS is removed or reinstalled,
mounting hardware must be examined for
signs of over-stressing. Damaged mounting
hardware must be replaced with proper
specification hardware before placing the
ROPS back in service.
Properly maintained seat belts are
essential to compliment the operator crush
protection designed into the ROPS. All seat
belt and/or seat belt anchorage systems that
show evidence of cuts, fraying or wear,
significant discolorations due to exposure to
the elements, heavily soiled - especially with
oil grease or fuel, or any type of damage
must be immediately replaced, regardless of
age.
Operators are to be instructed to properly
adjust and use seat belts at all times.
SAFETY DECALS
Decals warning you of avoidable danger
are located on various parts of the machine
and attachment. They are there for your
personal safety and protection. DO NOT
remove them. They will fracture upon
attempted removal and therefore, must be
replaced.
Following are locations of important safety
decals. Replace them if they are damaged or
missing. All safety decals, instructional
decals, or machine striping may be
purchased through your local John Deere
dealer.
To replace safety decals, ensure the
installation area is clean and dry and decide
on exact position before you remove the
backing paper.
