WARN I N G
Hearing protection is required if within 20 ft (6 m) of an operating machine. Hearing protection is
also required when operating without Rollover Protective Structure/Falling Object Protective
Structure (ROPS/FOPS) during transport procedures. Failure to wear hearing protection may
cause hearing loss.
When operating machine without ROPS/FOPS, drive with extreme caution, at low idle, and in 1st
gear forward or reverse ONLY. Machine has no rollover/falling object protection without ROPS/
FOPS. Failure to follow this warning may cause injury or death to personnel or damage to equip-
ment.
5.
As part of this procedure, the ROPS/FOPS is removed from machine. Operation of the machine without ROPS/FOPS, to
drive on and off the trailer, is required.
