F. SAFETY FRAME
A Safety Structure and seat belt is fitted as standard
equipment to the platform tractor at the time of factory
assembly. If the safety frame was deleted by the
original purchaser or has been removed, it is
recommended that you equip your tractor with a
Safety Structure and a seat belt. Safety frames are
effective in reducing injuries during overturn
accidents. A tractor overturning without safety frame
can result in serious injury or death
Depending on laws in force in the various markets, a
seat may be installed. Always raise the safety frame
before may be installed. Always raise the safety frame
before fastening the seat belt.
If a fold-down safety frame is installed. DO NOT wear a
seat belt when the safety frame is in folded down
position. NEVER keep the safety frame in the folded
down position when working with the tractor.
Operation:
Before using the tractor ensure that the safety
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 safety frame has been removed from the
tractor, or folded down for a specific operation, it
must be refitted or erected immediately using the
proper hardware and applying the recommended
torque value.
DO NOT ATTACH chains, ropes or cables to the
safety frame for pulling purposes; this will cause
the tractor to tip backwards. Always pull from the
tractor drawbar.
If a seat belt is installed, always wear your seat
belt-adjusted snugly except when operating with a
folded down safety frame or if the safety frame has
been removed
Check the seat belt for damage. A damaged seat
belt must be replaced
Damage to the safety frame
If the tractor has rolled over or the safety frame has
been damaged (such as striking an overhead object
during transport), the safety frame must be replaced to
provide the original degree of protection.
After an accident, check for damage to the safety
frame operator's seat, seat belt and seat mountings.
Before you operate the tractor, replace all damaged
parts.
DO NOT WELD, DRILL, BEND OR STRAIGHTEN
THE SAFETY FRAME. IF DONE, reduce the
protection it offers.
