- In most situations, the ROPS limits the overturn to little more than 90 degrees.
- When used with a seatbelt, the ROPS is very effective in preventing deaths and serious injuries.
- Use of the seat belt is recommended when operating with ROPS in the upright position.
ROPS folded at intermediate position ?
ROPS folded down Foldable ROPS and retractable seat belt are standard equipment:
- Handles on the position pins provide a good grip and make changing the angle of the ROPS easier.
