ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structures)

Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS)

Zetor tractors are equipped with a frame for the protection of operators.
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 Zetor ROPS frame or cab structure is designed and has been tested to meet industry and or
government standards.
Included in these tests were all mounting bases and bolts or other fasteners.
Danger: For ROPS frames to be effective and protect the operator, the seat belt provided must
be worn in order to keep operators within the ROPS protected area in the event of a roll over. Failure
to use the seat belt can still cause serious injury or death.
On some models, the ROPS has a fold down feature that can be used to enter low buildings, etc.
Be careful when lowering the top part of the ROPS and be very careful when driving with the ROPS lowered.
Do not use the seat belt with the ROPS lowered and remember that the folding mechanism is intended for
special use only and not for daily routine operation.
Use of the tractor with the ROPS lowered can cause fatal injuries!
As the ROPS frame or cab together with the seat belt was designed to meet certain standards, they must be
maintained in good order and condition. To achieve this objective, both the structure and the seat belt should
be inspected on a regular basis. (Every time the tractor is serviced)
If the seat belt is damaged or torn, it must be replaced and
if the ROPS frame or any part of its mounting structure is
damaged or cracked, the defective part must be replaced
with a new part. Such a part shall meet all the test criteria
of the original unit. Any installation or assembly of
components or parts of inferior certification affects the
certification of the entire ROPS structure and the
effectiveness of the structure in the event of an accident.
Drilling or welding or any other interference with the ROPS
structure is prohibited.
