ROPS
1. FARMTRAC recommend the use of a Roll Over
Protective Structures (ROPS) and seat belt in
almost all applications. This combination will reduce
the risk of serious injury or death, should the tractor
be upset. Check for overhead clearance which may
interfere with a ROPS.
2. Set parking brake and stop engine. Remove any
obstruction that may prevent raising or folding of the
ROPS. Do not allow any bystanders. Always
perform function from a stable position at the rear of
the tractor. Hold the top of the ROPS securely when
raising or folding. Make sure all pins are installed
and locked.
3. If the ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason,
make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly
before operating the tractor.
4. Never modify or repair any structural member of a
ROPS because welding, bending, drilling, grinding,
or cutting may weaken the structure.
5. If any structural member of the ROPS is damaged,
replace the entire structure at your local
FARMTRAC Dealer.
6. If the tractor is equipped with a foldable ROPS it may
be temporarily folded down only when absolutely
necessary for areas with height constraints.
(There is no operator protection provided by the
ROPS in the folded position. For operator safety the
ROPS should be placed in the upright and locked
position.
EVERY 600 HOURS carry out the preceding
checks plus the following:
\Operation 26. Dry air cleaner outer element
(where fitted)
Extract and discard the outer element after removing
the retaining wing nut.
Clean the inside of the air cleaner casing using a damp,
lint-free cloth and install a new outer element.
Operation 27. Starter Motor Pinon
Disconnect the cable from the battery earth terminal
and the battery cables from the starter motor and
solenoid. Extract the three securing bolts and remove
the starter motor.
Examine the starter pinion for clutch dust
contamination and, if necessary, brush clean with a
solution of 75% paraffin (kerosene) and 25% lubricating
oil. This mixture will provide sufficient lubrication for the
pinion until the next 600 hours service.
NOTE: This operation should be carried out more
frequently if the clutch is subject to heavy usage.
Operation 28 - Fuel Tap Strainer
Close the fuel tank shut-off valve, Figure 24, by turning in
a clockwise direction. Remove the banjo bolt from the
fuel injection pump and drain the fuel tank completely.
Remove the tube assembly by unscrewing the nut and
ferrule from the fuel tank tap. Unscrew the fuel tap and
remove the strainer. Wash the strainer and dry it. Refit
the strainer and tap assembly to the fuel tank and
connect the tube assembly to the fuel tap ensuring that
the ferrule is correctly seated. Re-connect the tube
assembly to the fuel injection pump using the banjo bolt
after replacing both the sealing washers.
Re-fit the fuel tank and bleed the fuel system.
