9. Use your turn signals, checking for traffic well in advance of turning
.
If the tractor is not
equipped with turn signals and law requires them, install them prior to operating on or near
public roads.
Safety Decals
1. Keep decals clean. Remove dirt with a wet clean cloth when necessary.
2. Replace safety decals if destroyed, missing, painted over or unreadable. If any safety decals
are covered or obscured when the ROPS is mounted, it is recommended that you purchase
replacement decals from the tractor manufacturer. Mount them in a readable location at, or
near, their original location before operating the tractor.
3. New ROPS decals and tractor decals are available from your tractor dealer.
ROPS Safety
1. Install the ROPS in accordance with Tektite mounting instructions. Failure to do so may affect
the ROPS ability to withstand a roll over.
2. If the ROPS is subjected to alteration, structural damage or involved in an over turn accident,
the entire structure must be replaced. Failure to do so may result in injury or death in the event
of a roll over.
3. If the tractor in not equipped with seat belts, purchase approved seat belts from the tractor
manufacturer or Tektite prior to operating the tractor.
4. Always fasten seat belts prior to operating the tractor.
5. Always operate the tractor from the
operator’s seat.
6. Remove mud, crop residue, chains and tools f
rom steps and operator’s
platform. They may
interfere with pedal operation or entry/exit from the tractor.
7. Remove all loose chains, tools, and equipment from the
operator’s platform
. Failure to do so
may cause injury or death in the event of a roll over.
8. Do not install the ROPS on a tractor model that the ROPS is not designated for (compatible
tractor designations are printed on the ROPS serial number plate). The ROPS is designed
specifically for individual models to ensure ROPS requirements will be met. Installing the ROPS
on a non designated tractor may result in injury or death.
