Cab guard

Comfort and safety inside the cab
Definition of Cab Category 1
Cab is meeting the requirements defined in EN 15695−1.
This means that the air delivery and filtration system does
not provide a specified level of protection against haz-
ardous substances but only from external atmospheric
conditions (e.g. rain, wind, snow, etc).
Definition of Cab Category 2
Cab is meeting the requirements defined in EN 15695−1.
This means that the air delivery and filtration system pro-
vides protection against dust and that the minimum dif-
ferential pressure is ensured. Necessary filtered fresh air
flow rate can be obtained using the A/C system and set-
ting the fan on maximum speed, provided that doors, win-
dows and hatches are closed.
ATTENTION: The cab category 1 does not guarantee a
full protection against dust, aerosols and vapours. The
cab category 2 provides protection against dust. For
application of plant protection products (e.g. pesticides,
fungicides, herbicides.....), please refer to the instructions
provided by the supplier of the chemical agent as well as
instructions provided by the sprayer's manufacturer. Use
the special devices and Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) also when inside the cab and, particularly, on
tractors without a cab. Although the air delivery system
cannot offer full protection, partial protection can be
achieved by following some basic rules:
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and clothing re-
quired.
• Keep doors, windows and hatches closed during the
spraying operation.
• Keep the cab interior clean.
• Do not enter the cab with contaminated shoes and/or
clothing.
• Keep all used personal protective equipment outside
the cab.
• Bring the wire harness of the remote sprayer control
box into the tractor cab.
• Use only genuine filters and ensure that the filter is cor-
rectly installed.
• Check the condition of the sealing material and filters,
replacing them if damaged.
Operator Protection
Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
This tractor is provided with either a ROPS structure or
a ROPS cab, offering protection against roll over related
hazards, all the same please consider the following pre-
cautions:
2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not use the tractor beyond its limits of terrain gradi-
ent and stability. Using the tractor beyond these limits
may result in a roll over or a tip over. Observe the rec-
ommendations in this manual and pay particular atten-
tion when going down steep hills in a loaded condition.
• Do not use the tractor near or on soft verges of canals
and brooks or banks and verges that are undermined
by rodents. The tractor may sink sideways and roll −
over.
• Do not use the tractor on unstable bridge – heads and
poor bridge floors. These constructions may collapse
and cause roll - over of the tractor. Always inspect the
condition and carrying capacity of bridges and ramps
prior to crossing.
• Always fasten the seatbelt when using the tractor. The
ROPS cab or ROPS structure will only be fully effective
when the driver remains attached to his seat.
• Do not use the tractor beyond its limits of dynamic sta-
bility. High speed, abrupt maneuvers and fast and tight
cornering will increase the risk of roll over.
• Do not use the tractor for pulling work, in cases where
you do not know whether the load will yield, for instance
when pulling stumps. The tractor may flip over back-
wards when the stump is not yielding.
• Be extremely cautious when working with the tractor on
forage silos without side concrete walls. To increase
the tractor's side stability, it is possible to mount twin
wheels or increase its track setting.
• Be cautious that the centre of gravity of the tractor may
increase when loads on the front – end loader or the
three-point linkage are raised. In these conditions, the
tractor may roll – over earlier than expected.
Falling Objects Protective Structure FOPS
FOPS certified cab is providing protection against falling
objects according to OECD code 10 standard; it is rec-
ommended to use a certified FOPS structure when work-
ing with front- end loaders or in forestry applications; a
cab not FOPS certified is offering insufficient protection
against falling rocks, bricks or pieces of concrete.
FOPS level on your tractor cab is certified according to
OECD C
Installation and working with front loader on
tractors equipped with cab
ATTENTION: Do not use the front- end loader without
taking precautions against falling objects.
Please consider following precautions when working with
a front end loader:
• Do not lift the front - end loader to a height from which
objects may fall or roll on the driver.
