Know which devices are required for protection during
your specific operation and use them. The excavator can
be operated temporarily with the TOPS/ROPS lowered

equipment. Operating a machine without a protective
structure (TOPS/ROPS, FOGS/FOPS or OPS) could
result in death or serious injury. (See page 44, Protective
