34. Operator Protection Structure (OPS)
These tractors that preserve structures are not in
accordance with EN ISO 8148: 2003.
DANGER: Before operating, make
sure the protection is adequate for
your work conditions.
2.1.1. Roll Over Protective or Cab.
Structures
A Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat
belt (extra equipment) is fitted as standard
equipment to the footstep tractor at the time of
factory assembly. If the ROPS was removed by the
original purchaser or has been removed, it is
recommended that you equip your tractor with a
Roll Over Protective Structure and a seat belt.
ROPS are effective in reducing injuries during
overturn accidents. Overturning a tractor without
ROPS can result in serious injury or death.
If a fold down ROPS is installed DO NOT wear seat
belt when the ROPS is in the folded down position.
1. Sun Protection Roof (Optional
acessory)
- Keep rollover protective structure fully extended
- Do not jump if machine tips.
- Use seat belt.
- Whwn structure must be down.
- Do not use seat belt.
- Drive with extra care.
− Before using the tractor ensure that the ROPS
frame is not damaged, that it is securely fastened to
the tractor and if a hinged section is fitted that it is in
the raised position and secured.
− If the ROPS has been removed from the tractor,
or folded down for a specific operation, it must be
refitted or erected immediately afterwards using the
proper hard ware and applying the recommended
torque values.
− DO NOT attach chains, ropes, or cables to the
ROPS for pulling purposes; this will cause the
tractor to tip back wards. Always pull from the
tractor drawbar.
− Always wear your seat belt − adjusted snugly
except when operating with a folded down ROPS.
− Check the seat belt for damage. A damaged seat
belt must be replaced. (Fig)
2. Prevent Machıne Runaway
Avoid possible injury or death from machinery
runaway.Do not start engine by shorting across
starter terminals.
Machine will start in gear if normal circuitry is
bypassed.
NEVER start engine while standing on ground. Start
engine only from operator’s seat, with transmission
in neutral or park.
3. Servıce Tractor Safely
Do not service the tractor while it is in motion or
while the engine is running.
When servicing front-wheel-drive-equipped tractor
with rear wheels supported off ground and rotating
wheels by engine power, always support front
wheels in a similar manner. Engaging front-wheel
drive will pull rear wheels off support if front wheels
are not raised.
Tighten wheel hardware to correct torque as
specified in Wheels, Tires and Tread section.
Torque at intervals shown in Break-In Period and
Lubrication and Maintenance sections, to ensure
that wheel hardware does not loosen.
Reinstall shields removed during service.
