ROPS
A ROPS is designed to provide operator crush protection in a rollover by controlled bending of its structural members.ROPS performance requirements in rollovers are specified by regulations in several countries. Any modification to a ROPS such as welding on or drilling holes in the structural members for the purpose of mounting brackets or installing other devices will affect the ROPS capability to provide the required crush protection.Therefore, any modification or repair without Caterpillar's specific approval will void the ROPS certification. The certification cannot be renewed by repair of the ROPS, since certification requires a destructive test.Certain repairs and modifications can be made without voiding the ROPS certification if correctly done. Contact your Caterpillar dealer before making any modifications or repairs to ensure that such will not void the ROPS certification.Burn Prevention
At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot water or steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.Check the coolant level in the radiator only after the engine has been stopped and the filler cap is cool enough to remove with your bare hand.Remove the cooling system filler cap slowly to relieve pressure.Cooling system conditioner contains alkali that can cause personal injury. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and do not drink.Allow cooling system components to cool before draining.Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact the skin.At operating temperature, the hydraulic tank is hot and can be under pressure. Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap only after the engine has been stopped and the filler cap is cool enough to remove with your bare hand.Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap slowly to relieve pressure.Relieve all pressure in air, oil, fuel or cooling systems before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected or removed.Battery electrolyte contains acid that can cause injury. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.Fire or Explosion Prevention
All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures are flammable.Do not smoke while refueling or in a refueling area.Do not smoke in areas where batteries are charged, or where flammable materials are stored.When using jumper cables always connect positive (+) cable to positive (+) terminal of battery connected to starter solenoid and negative (-) cable from external source to engine ground.See "Starting the Engine" in this guide for specific instructions.Clean and tighten all electrical connections. Check daily for loose or frayed electrical wires. Have all loose or frayed electrical wires tightened, repaired or replaced before operating the machine.Keep all fuels and lubricants stored in properly marked containers and away from all unauthorized persons.Store all oily rags or other flammable material in a protective container, in a safe place.Remove all flammable materials such as fuel, oil and other debris before they accumulate on the machine.Do not expose the machine to flames, burning brush, etc., if at all possible.Lines, Tubes and Hoses
Do not bend or strike high pressure lines. Do not install bent or damaged
