Operator protective structure
Your tractor is equipped with an operator protective struc-
ture, such as: a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS),
Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS), or a cab with
ROPS. A ROPS may be a can frame or a two-posted or
four-posted structure used for the protection of the op-
erator to minimize the possibility of serious injury. The
mounting structure and fasteners forming the mounting
connection with the tractor are part of the ROPS.
The protective structure is a special safety component of
your tractor.
DO NOT attach any device to the protective structure for
pulling purposes. DO NOT drill holes to the protective
structure.
The protective structure and interconnecting components
are a certified system. Any damage, fire, corrosion, or
modification will weaken the structure and reduce your
protection. If this occurs, THE PROTECTIVE STRUC-
TURE MUST BE REPLACED so that it will provide the
same protection as a new protective structure. Contact
your dealer for protective structure inspection and re-
placement.
2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
After an accident, fire, tip or roll over, the following MUST
be performed by a qualified technician before returning
the tractor to field or job-site operations:
• The protective structure MUST BE REPLACED.
• The mounting or suspension for the protective struc-
ture, operator seat and suspension, seat belts and
mounting components, and wiring within the operator's
protective system MUST be carefully inspected for
damage.
• All damaged parts MUST BE REPLACED.
DO NOT WELD, DRILL HOLES, ATTEMPT TO
STRAIGHTEN, OR REPAIR THE PROTECTIVE STRUC-
TURE. MODIFICATION IN ANY WAY CAN REDUCE
THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE STRUCTURE,
WHICH COULD CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
IN THE EVENT OF FIRE, TIP, ROLL OVER, COLLISION,
OR ACCIDENT.
Seat belts are part of your protective system and must be
worn at all times. The operator must be held to the seat
inside the frame in order for the protective system to work.
