Tigercat T750 Trencher Introduction
S.A.E. STANDARDS
ROLL-OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES (ROPS)
* MODIFICATIONS AND REPAIRS:
The integrity of the ROPS, structure and its continued ability to provide the level of protection it was
designed for could be seriously affected by any modifications to the structure, its mounting or to the
chassis to which it is attached.
Tigercat emphasizes that the certification of approval of the ROPS, structure will become void if any such
modifications take place.
Tigercat may officially grant approval for modifications only by:
i. Written approval of repairs or modifications signed by the Tigercat Engineering Manager; or
ii. Approved modifications officially released by Tigercat.
Both of the above are provided that the work is carried out in the factory approved manner.
Unauthorized modifications and/or repairs made or contributed to by a customer or a Tigercat distributor
may result in creating a dangerous situation and therefore the customer or Tigercat distributor will be
considered to have assumed the risk involved or be negligent in creating this situation.
Tigercat will not be held responsible for situations arising from having created unauthorized
modifications/changes to the structure.
Operator's cabs are designed to ROPS, standards so that they will withstand force and absorb energy
during a roll-over (ROPS). When a permanent deflection of the structure occurs, the structure can no
longer provide the original designed level of protection and should be replaced. Attempts to straighten
the structure, particularly by the application of heat, can reduce still further the structures remaining
capability to protect.
The mounting and the frame or chassis to which the cab is attached is considered an integral part of the
ROPS, and is included in the design, test and certification of the product.
Contact the Tigercat Service department before attempting any modifications or repair to roll-over
protective structures.
