1.2.7.2 Roll over protective structure
The roll over protective structure (ROPS) is effective in reducing injuries during overturns. Overturning a
tractor without ROPS or with the ROPS folded down can result in serious injury or death. Operate with
ROPS folded down only when conditions make this necessary. Return ROPS to upright, locked position as
soon as conditions permit.
Do not weld, drill, or alter the ROPS.
If the tractor has been rolled over or the ROPS frame has been damaged in any manner, the ROPS must be
replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged ROPS. If damage does occur, consult your dealer and
replace all damaged parts.
Before using the tractor make sure the ROPS frame is not damaged and it is securely fastened to the
tractor .
Do not attach chains, ropes, or cables to the ROPS for pulling purposes - damage to the ROPS and/or
overturn of the tractor may result. Always pull from the tractor drawbar.
Observe all recommendations and instructions regarding the installation of covers or roofs which are used
as sunshields only, and do not afford the operator protection from falling objects.
