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 use 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 the
tractor to tip over backward. Back out of these situations if possible.

Lower all equipment to the ground.
Stop the engine and remove the key.
KEEP RIDERS OFF TRACTOR
Do not allow riders on the tractor.
