Use of ROPS and Seat Belt

The Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) has been
certified to industry and / or government standards. Any
damage or alternation to the ROPS, mounting hardware,
or seat belt voids the certification and will reduce or
eliminate protection for the operator in the event of a roll-
over. The ROPS, mounting hardware, and seat belt
should be checked after the first 100 hours of tractor and
every 500 hours thereafter for any evidence of damage,
wear or cracks. In the event of damage or alteration, the
ROPS must be 2 replaced prior to further operation of the
tractor.
The seat belt must be worn during machine operation
when the machine is equipped with a certified ROPS.
Failure to do so will reduce or eliminate protection for the
operator in the event of a roll over.

Precaution to Avoid Tipping

Do not drive where the tractor could slip or tip.
Stay alert for holes and rocks in the terrain, and other
hidden hazards.
Slow down before you make a sharp turn.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition could
cause tractor to tip over backward. Back out of these
situations if possible.

Park Tractor Safely

Before working on the tractor; Lower all equipment to the
ground.
Stop the engine and remove the key.

Handle Fuel Safely Avoid Fires

Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable. Do not refuel
the tractor while smoking or near open flame or sparks.
Always stop engine before refueling tractors.
Always keep your tractor clean of accumulated grease,
and debris. Always clean up spilled fuel.
