INTRODUCTION
Working in safety
Safety frame (ROPS)
Safety frame
Either a roll-over protective structure or a cab is moun-
ted as standard equipment together with a safety belt.
You cannot work without the safety frame or cab. A
safety structure or cab reduces the risk of injury should
the tractor roll over. Rolling over without a safety struc-
ture or cab can cause damage and serious injury.
Use
- Before using the tractor, ensure that the ROPS or
the cab has not been damaged and that it is secu-
rely fastened to the tractor.
- DO NOT attach chains, cables, etc., to the ROPS
or to the cab for towing purposes as this could cau-
se the tractor to tip up: always use the draw bar for
this purpose.
- Always fasten your safety belt. Do not wear the sa-
fety belt if the tractor is not equipped with a ROPS
or cab.
- Check the safety belt for damage. Damaged belts
must be replaced.
Damaged ROPS or cabs
If the tractor has rolled over and the ROPS or the cab
have been damaged (e.g. in the case of a crash against
a bridge), they must be replaced in order to ensure
the original degree of protection.
After an accident, check the ROPS or cab, the driving
seat, the safety belt and the anchor points of the sa-
fety belt. Replace all damaged parts before using the
tractor again.
DO NOT WELD, DRILL, BEND OR STRAIGHTEN
THE ROPS OR CAB: to do so reduces the degree of
protection that is ensured by original equipment.
