ROPS and Seat Belt Inspection WARNING

4. Insert the threaded end of the dual wheel exten- sion into the inner dual wheel hub. Using both hands, turn the dual wheel clockwise until the wheel is tight and there are four threads or fewer visible on the outer wheel extension. This is to ensure the hubs lock correctly when the draw bolt is tightened. Repeat for the other three wheels.

Failure to inspect and maintain the Roll-Over Protec- tion System and the seat belt can lead to serious injury or death. If any part of the ROPS sustains structural damage, the entire ROPS must be replaced. 1. Inspect the roll bar for damage, missing compo- nents, and loose or missing hardware. Replace any damaged or missing components and tighten loose hardware prior to operating the power unit. 2. Inspect the seat belt for cuts, abrasions, fraying, or excessive wear. 3. Inspect the seat belt for damage from exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. If the color of the seat belt is extremely faded, its physical strength may be deteriorated. 4. Inspect the seat belt for dust and dirt. If the seat belt is packed with dirt, its physical strength may be deteriorated. 5. Inspect the seat belt for stiffness. If the seat belt is no longer flexible, its physical strength may be deteriorated. 6. Inspect the seat belt buckle and latch for damage, cracks, or excessive wear. 7. Inspect the seat belt for proper operation. The seat belt should latch securely and release smoothly. Seat belt adjustment should be accom- plished without excessive resistance. 8. If any problems are detected during this inspec- tion, the component must be replaced prior to operating the power unit.

5. After tightening the outer dual wheel, there should be four or fewer threads visible on the outer dual wheel extension. Tighten the draw bolt and torque to 163 Nm (120 ft-lbs) Repeat for the other three wheels. 6. If the steering cylinder is mounted to the inner hole setting of the steering cylinder mount, move the steering cylinder to the center hole setting of the cylinder mount under the left front corner of the foot platform. Torque to 203 Nm (150 ft-lbs). Tire Pressure Keep tires evenly inflated. Keep tire pressures within the proper range to prevent premature wear and/or poor traction.
