It is designed not only to support the load if the machine should roll over, but also to absorb the impact energy. If ROPS is installed, the ROPS must never be removed when operating the machine. The ROPS installed on equipment manufactured and designed by Komatsu Mining Systems, Inc.
fulfills all of the regulations and standards for all countries, but if it is modified or repaired without authorization from Komatsu Mining Systems, Inc., or is damaged when the machine rolls over, the strength will drop and it will not be able to fulfill its function properly. It can only display its performance if it is repaired or modified in the specified way. When modifying or repairing the ROPS, always consult the authorized regional Komatsu Mining Systems, Inc. distributor. Even if the ROPS is installed, it cannot show its full effect if the operator does not fasten the seat belt properly. Always fasten the seat belt when operating.
