REINSTALLATION OF ROPS PROTECTIVE FRAME
CAUTION: The protective frame for this
tractor (Figure 1) has been designed and
manufactured to meet ROPS (Roll Over Pro¬
tective Structures) requirements. ROPS for this tractor
was tested and met requirements of OSHA, Standard
Part 1928, Subpart C for a gross vehicle weight of 2415
lbs. (1095 kg).
Any modification of these structures or changes in the
mounting or mounting hardware or increase in gross
vehicle weight will nullify compliance with these
requirements.
In the event that the protective frame structure be¬
comes damaged, the damaged parts or assemblies
should be replaced rather than repaired to assure con¬
tinued roll over protection. Do not substitute caps¬
crews of any other size or grade in case the original
ones become lost or damaged. Use only capscrews of
the size and grade specified and tightened to the
torque values given in this text. See your authorized
dealer for available parts and assemblies.
CAUTION: ALWAYS use the seat belt with
the protective frame. Replace the belt
promptly if it should become frayed or
damaged.
DO NOT use seat belt if tractor is not equipped with a
protective frame.
