TYM tractors are fitted with a frame for the protection of operators of tractors to minimize the possibility of serious operator injury
result from accidental upset.
These are called as ROPS and are characterized by providing space for the clearance zone inside the envelope of the structure
or within a space bounded by a series of straight lines from the outer edge of the tractor to any part of the tractor that might come
in contact with flat ground and is capable of supporting the tractor in that position if the Tractor overturns.
The mounting structure and fasteners forming the mounting connection with the Tractor are part of the ROPS.
CAUTION
Loosen and release the knob slowly and cautiously to fold down the ROPS.
If Tractor is operated with ROPS folded (E.g. to enter a low building) Drive with extreme caution and do
not use seat belt. Fold the ROPS up again before the Tractor is operated under normal conditions.
Please note that in no condition. The tractor is to be operated without ROPS. Operating the tractor
without ROPS, with folded.
ROPS with damaged ROPS or hardware can lead to fatal injuries.
ROPS MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
The ROPS has been certified to industry and/or government standards.
Any damage or alteration 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 hrs. of machine operation and every 500 hrs
thereafter for any evidence of damage wear or cracks.
In the event of damage or alteration the ROPS must be replaced prior to further operation of the machine.
The seat belt must be worn during machine operation when it is equipped with a certified ROPS.
Failure to do so will reduce or eliminate protection of the operate in the event of a roll-over.
Substitution of mounting hardware, seat belt etc. with components not equal to or superior to the original certified components
will void the certification and will reduce or eliminate protection for the operator in the event of a roll-over.
