ROPS (ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES) Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS) Zetor tractors are equipped with a frame to protect the operator. On tractors with a cab, this frame is built into the cab structure. The objective of the frame or the cab design is to protect the operator in the event of rolling over, they are designed to support the full weight of the tractor.
ROPS (ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES) ROPS damage If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has been damaged (for example, by hitting a low overhead object or during transport), the ROPS must be replaced to provide the guaranteed protection. After an accident, check for damage on: 1.
ROPS (ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES) Sliding Seat How to adjust the seat Before operating the tractor, it is important to adjust the seat to the most comfortable position and ensure that it is properly locked in its position. CCL25004 1 - Seat Belt 2 - Forward / Reverse Position Adjustment Lever Warning: Do not place your hand between the seat and the guide rail when adjusting the seat.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Introduction to safety information This symbol means ATTENTION! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED. The message that follows the symbol contains important information about safety. Carefully read the message. Signal words Danger Warning Caution A signal word - DANGER, WARNING OR CAUTION - is used with safety alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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 hard-ware, or seat belt voids the certification and will reduce or eliminate protection for the operator in the event of a roll- over.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Practice safe maintenance Be thoroughly familiar with the service procedure before performing work. Keep the tractor area clean and dry. Do not attempt to service the tractor while it is in motion. Be careful not to let your body or clothing get into the rotating shaft.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Prevent acid burns Protect the top of the battery from sparks, flammable materials and open flames. Accumulated battery fumes can explode. Never check the battery charge by connecting the battery terminals with a metal object. Sulfuric acid in the battery electrolyte is hazardous to health.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Work in ventilated area Do not start the tractor in an enclosed building unless the doors & windows are open for proper ventilation, as tractor fumes can cause sickness or death. If it is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area remove the exhaust fumes by connecting exhaust pipe extension.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safe operation of your tractor The manufacturer of your tractor has made every effort to make it as safe as is humanly possible. Beyond this point it is the responsibility of the operator to avoid accidents and we ask that you read and implement our suggestions for your safety.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Mounting and demounting implements 1. Ensure that all assembly and disassembly of implements (attachments) is carried out on a secure, level surface. To prevent accidental injuries, ensure that no one is between the tractor and the implement or under the implement. 2.
Do not by-pass the starter safety switch. If the starter safety switch is defective, consult your Zetor tractor dealer/distributor. 4. Avoid accidental contact with the shift lever while the engine is running. Such contact can cause the tractor to move.
