ROLL OvER PROTECTIvE STRUCTURES (ROPS)
RK Tractors are equipped with a
frame for the protection of opera-
tors.
In the case of cab tractors the frame
is incorporated in the cab structure.
The objective of the frame or cab
structure is to protect the operator
in the event of a roll over and they
are designed to support the entire
weight of the tractor in that event.
Each RK ROPS frame or cab struc-
ture is designed and has been test-
ed to meet industry and or Govern-
ment standards.
Included in these tests were all
mounting bases and bolts or other
fasteners.

DANGER
•
For ROPS frames to be effec-
tive and protect the operator,
the seat belt provided must
b e w o r n i n o r d e r t o k e e p
operators within the ROPS
protected area in the event of
a roll over. Failure to use the
seat belt can still cause seri-
ous injury or death.
On some models the ROPS frame
has a fold down feature, which can
be used to enter low buildings etc.
Take care when lowering the upper
section of the ROPS frame and take
extreme care while driving the tractor
with the ROPS frame lowered.
Do not wear the seat belt with
the ROPS lowered and please
remember that the fold down facility
is for special circumstances only and
must not be lowered for general use.
GENERAL INFORMATION
►
USE OF THE TRACTOR WITH
THE ROPS LOWERED CAN
CAUSE FATAL INjURIES
As the ROPS frame or cab togeth-
er with the seat belt was designed to
meet certain standards, they must be
maintained in good order and condi-
tion.
To achieve this objective, both the
structure and the seat belt should be
inspected on a regular basis (every
time the tractor is serviced)
In the event that the seat belt is dam-
aged or frayed, it should be replaced
and in the event that the ROPS
frame or any part of the mounting
structure is damaged or cracked, the
faulty component must be replaced
with a new unit.
Such a unit must meet all of the test
criteria of the original unit.
Fitment of an inferior item or items
affects the certification of the entire
ROPS structure and the effective-
ness of the structure in the event of
an accident. Drilling or welding of the
ROPS structure is forbidden.
