Protective Structures
Roll Over Protective Structures
A Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt 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 (Fig. 5).
If a fold down ROPS is installed
DO NOT
wear seat belt
when the ROPS is in the folded down position.
Operation
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 hardware 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
backwards. 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. 6).
Damage to the ROPS
If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has been
damaged (such as striking an overhead object during
transport), the ROPS must be replaced to provide the
original degree of protection.
After an accident, check for damage to the ROPS,
operator's seat, seat belt and seat belt mountings.
Before you operate the tractor, replace all damaged
parts.
DO NOT WELD, DRILL, BEND OR STRAIGHTEN THE
ROPS
.
To do so reduces the protection it offers.
Cab
The safety cab has been designed for fitment to this
series of tractor and meets all the legal requirements of
cab safety and noise levels.
The safety cab conforms to the various international
safety standards. The cab must
NEVER
be drilled, or
modified to install accessories or implements. Welding
components to the cab or repairing damaged
components is
NOT PERMITTED
.
DO NOT
attach chains
or ropes to the main frame of the cab for pulling
purposes.

If additional controls or displays are to be added to the
operator's area contact your Massey Ferguson Dealer for
information as to how this can best be done.
The ROPS cab together with the seat belt is effective in
reducing injuries during overturn accidents. Wearing the
seat belt is an important part of this protection.
Always wear your seat belt - adjusted snugly.
Check the seat belt for damage. A damaged seat belt
must be replaced (Fig. 6).
