ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM PROGRAM
Operation of zero-turn radius commercial lawnmowers around ponds, sudden drop-offs and steep
slopes can be hazardous if the operator does not proceed cautiously.
Scag Power Equipment is
concerned with your safety. A Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS),
when used in combination with seatbelts
and safe operating practices, are effective in reducing serious injuries and death from
roll-over accidents.
Do not operate on any slope you cannot back up with
the cutter deck down and stay off of
any slope of more than 15 degrees with Scag riding mowers. Cut
these slopes with a walk-behind mower or
hand-held trimmer. If obstructions, walls or drop-offs prevent
you from reaching the bottom of the
slope to attempt to try the back-up test, stay off of the slope
with the riding mower. Do not operate
close to drop-offs or along the banks of ponds.
Newer Scag zero-turn radius commercial lawnmowers are designed
to accept ROPS. All Wildcats,
Turf Tigers and Sabre Tooth Tigers have optional or standard
ROPS accessories. Tiger Cubs made in
the 2002 model year and later will also accept a ROPS accessory
or have ROPS as standard equipment. |
Scag Customers that Own a Mower that Can be Fitted with ROPS
If you are the owner of a Scag STT, STC or STWC zero-turn radius commercial lawnmower
which can be fitted with a ROPS, but was not originally equipped with one, we
are offering a folding ROPS (fixed ROPS for 1997 through 2001 model year STT)
at the reduced price of $189.
All original and subsequent, registered and non-registered
owners of the mowers previously listed are eligible. Please contact
your local Scag
dealer for
details.
As a registered owner of an eligible Scag mower, you should have
received a letter in the mail regarding this program. There was
a Hillside
Operation and Safety Guide enclosed (click
here to download) that includes important safety messages concerning
the avoidance of roll-over
accidents. Fill in the enclosed postage pre-paid
card to indicate your desire to take advantage of this ROPS offer.
Check the appropriate box if' you no longer own the Scag zero-turn
radius commercial lawnmower or if
you have already installed a ROPS. If you are not interested in
our offer, please tell us why. Please
return the card regardless of whether or not you are accepting
our offer. Contact your local Scag dealer if
you have any questions.
Scag Customers that Own a Mower that Cannot be Fitted with ROPS
Your mower is a safe machine as designed without ROPS capability.
It is important that you continue
to use your machine in a safe and prudent manner following the
guidelines for safe operation listed
above and in the enclosed brochure.
