The ROPS is an integral safety device. Do not remove any of the ROPS components from the machine.
Ensure that the seat belt is attached and that you can release it quickly in an emergency.
Keep the roll bar in the fully raised and locked position and always wear your seat belt whenever the roll bar is up.
Check carefully for overhead objects before you drive under them, and do not contact them.
Replace damaged ROPS components. Do not repair or alter them.
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is down.
Wheels dropping over edges, over steep banks, or into water can cause a rollover, which may result in serious injury or death.
Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is down.
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary; raise it as soon as clearance permits.
In the event of a rollover, take the machine to an Authorized Service Dealer to inspect the ROPS.
Use only Toro approved accessories and attachments for the ROPS.
Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Park the machine on a level surface.
Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, and move the motion-control levers outward to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position.
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
