All Servis and Servis-Rhino Boom Mowers mounted on Non-Cab Tractors require without
exception a suitable Operator Protective Cage be installed before operating to prevent
Operator injury by objects thrown by the blades. The Servis Operator Protective Cage may
be ordered with the machine or from the Extra Equipment Section (For your particular
tractor, some modification to this Cage may be necessary.)
A protective cage may be constructed and attached to the tractor and the tractor ROPS (Roll Over Protection
System) only if it conforms to the following:
1. The Right side and top of the operators compartment must be completely protected as shown. In the case
of a tractor with a ROPS mounted hard canopy, only the right side will need to be protected.
2. The grating must be not larger than 1-1/2: by 2-1/4", but not so small as to block vision. The frame should
be made for 1" square tubing, or equivalent.
3. The right side must be completely protected (floor-fender-roof) as shown in FIGURE 20, and extend from
the engine hood to at least 12" behind the back of the operator seat. The roof must be at least 48" above
the seat.
4. No grating on the front or back as it will block vision for driving.
5. Only use clamp type attachment on the ROPS. Do not drill, tap, or weld to the ROPS. You may (provided
that it is strong enough) attach L-brackets to the fender and to the floor board, to secure the rest of the
cage.
Additional protection may be added to Cab tractors by attaching the same grating as above with a 1/8" or more
space between it and the glass.
NOTE: Operator must wear Safety Glasses with Side Shields when operating mower.
