Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) or Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS)
These guards are located above the operator's compartment and these guards are secured to the machine. To avoid the possible weakening of the ROPS or FOPS, consult a Caterpillar dealer before you alter the guards. Do not alter the structure by welding, cutting, adding weight, or drilling holes into the structure.Any alteration that is not specifically authorized by Caterpillar invalidates the Caterpillar certification for the ROPS and the FOPS. The protection that is offered by the ROPS or by the FOPS will be impaired if the ROPS or the FOPS has structural damage. Damage to the structure can be caused by an overturn, falling objects, etc.Do not mount fire extinguishers, first aid kits, lights, or other items to the ROPS structure or to the FOPS. Welding brackets or drilling holes in the ROPS or in the FOPS can weaken the structures. See your Caterpillar dealer for mounting guidelines.
