Protective Structures :
For the operator’s safety, various protective structures, i.e. Bonnet (Hood),
Fan cover, PTO safety cover, PTO shaft protection cap, Roll-bar or another Roll-over Protective
Structure, etc are attached on the tractor. If these structures are modified or removed by user
arbitrarily, it may cause serious accident. Such behaviors are prohibited strictly.
▶
The Protective Structure and interconnecting components are a certified system.
Any damage, fire, corrosion or modification will weaken the structure and reduce
your protection. If this occurs, the Protective Structure MUST be replaced with a
new one. Contact your authorized local dealer for Protective Structure inspection
and replacement.
▶
In case of an accident, fire, tip or roll-over, the following MUST be performed by a
qualified technician before operating the tractor again.
- The Protective Structure MUST be replaced.
- The mounting or suspension for the Protective Structure , operator seat and
suspension, seat belt and mounting components and wiring within the operator’s
protective system MUST be carefully inspected for damage.
- All damaged parts MUST be replaced.
▶
DO NOT attach any device to the Protective Structure for pulling purposes.
▶
DO NOT weld, drill holes, attempt to straighten or repair the protective
structure. The modification can reduce the structural integrity of the
structure which can cause death or serious injury in the event of fire, tip, roll
over, collision or accident and void the warranty.
