Any alteration, repair, or welding of the ROPS and ROPS-to-vehicle frame mounts shall be performed only with prior approval and with instructions from the ROPS manufacturer or under the instructions of a registered professional engineer; and the manufacturer, or engineer as the case may be, shall decide what qualifications the welders involved in this operation must have.
