Protective Shield (Accessory)
An optional operator protective shield is available for use
on tractors not equipped with cabs or other protective
shielding. This shield is a “universal” type and is suitable
for attachment to a conventional Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) that is already attached to the tractor. It
is constructed of an extruded aluminum frame and
glazed with 1/4" clear lexan polycarbonate.
Mounting hardware will permit attachment to ROPS
having cross-section dimensions of 2" x 4", 2" x 5", and
2" x 6" or 2 1/2" x 4", 2 1/2" x 5", and 2 1/2" x 6". Other
sizes may require longer mounting bolts and/or custom
flatbars. Installation requires that 4 mounting holes be
drilled in the frame of the shield. No modification is made
to the ROPS.

Protective Shield Installation
Refer to Figure 2-10:
1.
Measure width and thickness of the tractor ROPS bar
to determine if the clamping hardware supplied will
be adequate.
2.
Compare parts list and quantities with parts
received. Report any missing or damaged items to
your dealer.
3.
Carefully remove the shield from the shipping carton
and temporarily position it on the inside surface of the
ROPS bar. Locate shield forward/back and up/down
to provide the best overall coverage for the tractor
operator. Use a spirit level to level the shield before
marking. Mark frame location with a pencil on each
side of the ROPS bar, and mark vertical ROPS
location on the shield frame.
4.
Position protective shield (#5) on a flat work surface.
Locate one of the flatbars (#4) next to the pencil
marks to determine which set of holes will clear the
vertical marks for the ROPS location. Mark hole
location and drill two 1/4" diameter holes through the
shield frame. Similarly mark and drill two additional
holes for the lower clamp location.
5.
Attach shield to the inside surface of the ROPS bar
with 1/4" x 4" cap screw (#6), 1/4" flat washers (#3),
1/4" lock washer (#2), and 1/4" nut (#1).
NOTE:
To determine the best location for the
protective shield, the cutter should be connected to
the tractor, extension arm should be fully extended
and the deck should be approximately level in
cutting position.
