1.2.2.1 ROPS
The tractor may be equipped with an ROPS
safety roll bar and a seat belt. If the ROPS
structure has been removed, the tractor must
be equipped with a new ROPS and seat belt. The
ROPS reduces the risk of injury in the event of a
roll-over. A roll-over without the ROPS roll bar
may cause serious damage and injury.
Usage
- Before using the tractor, make sure that the
ROPS is not damaged and is fastened correctly
to the tractor.
- Never attach chains, cables etc. to the ROPS
or cab to tow a load, as this may cause the
tractor to overturn: always use the drawbar to
tow.
- Always fasten your seat belt. Do not use the
seat belt if the tractor is not equipped with an
ROPS safety roll bar.
- Check the seat belt for damage. Replace the
seat belt if damaged.
Damage to ROPS safety roll bar
If the tractor has rolled over or if the ROPS safety roll bar has been damaged (e.g. due to collision with a
bridge), it must be replaced to ensure the same degree of safety originally offered by the tractor.
After an accident, check that the ROPS safety roll bar, the driver seat, the seat belt and the seat belt anchor
points. Replace all damaged parts before using the tractor again.
Do not weld, drill, bend or straighten the ROPS safety roll bar or parts of the cab: these actions will
compromise the original safety of the tractor.
