ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)
A Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) are
optional equipment for this tractor at time of factory
assembly. If the ROPS was deleted by the original
purchaser or has been removed, it is recommended
that you equip your tractor with a Roll Over
Protective Structure (ROPS). ROPS are effective in
reducing injuries during tractor over-turn accidents.
Overturning tractor without a ROPS can result in
serious injury or death.
Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) are available
from your RANSOMES Tractor Dealer.
The safety offered by the roll bar is minimised.
WARNING: DO NOT attach chains or
ropes to the roll bar for pulling purposes
poses since the tractor can tip
backward. Always pull from the tractor
drawbar. Be careful when driving
through door openings or under low
overhead objects. Make sure there is
sufficient overhead clearance for the
roll bar.
