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. The ROPS, mounting
hardware, and seat belt should be checked after the first 100 hours of tractor and every 500 hours
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 tractor.
The seat belt must be worn during machine operation when the machine is equipped with a certified
ROPS.
Failure to do so will reduce or eliminate protection for the operator in the event of a roll over.
PRECAUTION TO AVOID TIPPING
Do not drive where the tractor could slip or tip.
Stay alert for holes and rocks in the terrain, and other hidden hazards.
Slow down before you make a sharp turn.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition could cause tractor to tip over backward. Back out of
these situations if possible.
PARK TRACTOR SAFELY
Before leaving on the tractor;
Lower all equipment to the ground.
Stop the engine and remove the key.
KEEP RIDERS OFF TRACTOR
Do not allow riders on the tractor.
Riders on tractor are subject to injury such as being stuck by foreign objects and being thrown off of the
tractor.
