Equipment Protection Top. ROPS or FOPS
If the machine is operated at the region with falling
stores and aggregates, the machine should be
provided with devices of the equipment protection
top, ROPS or FOPS according to the potential
dangerous situation.

with devices of ROPS and FOPS)
ROPS: Roll Over Protection Structure

Moving on the Slope
In order to prevent the roll-over or the sideslip of the
machine, the following requirements must be achieved:
When the machine moves on the slope, the bottom
of the bucket is 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) from the
ground. In an emergency, the working device can
rapidly drop down to stop the machine.
When the machine moves upslope, the driving cab is
adjusted to the direction of the upslope. When the
machine moves on the slop downwards, the
hardness of the ground surface in front of the
machine must be examined.
When the machine moves on the abrupt slope, the
working device extends towards the front direction
to maintain the balance, and the operating
equipments keep the distance of 20 to 30 cm from
the ground, and keep at a low speed.
When the machine moves on the slop downwards,
the moving operating lever is maintained at the
middle position, and the machine moves at low
speed.
