7 - MAINTENANCE
Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) frame - Replace - Possible
damage
If the unit has rolled over or the ROPS has been in some
other type of accident (such as hitting an overhead object
during transport), the ROPS must be replaced to retain the
best protection.
Following an accident, check the ROPS, the operator's
seat, and the seat belt and seat belt mountings for pos-
sible damage. Before operating the machine, replace all
damaged parts.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to weld or straighten the ROPS.
Battery
The tractor is equipped with a BCI group 34, 12 V battery
with a minimum cold cranking ability of 660 A at -18 °C
( 0 °F ).
Make sure the battery connections are tight and free of cor-
rosion. A solution of baking soda and water may be used
to wash the outside surface and terminals of the battery
when necessary. However, make sure the solution does
not get inside the battery. After cleaning, wash the battery
with clean water, then apply a small amount of petroleum
jelly to the terminals to prevent corrosion.
In freezing temperatures, a good battery charge must be
maintained.
If the battery becomes discharged or run
down, the electrolyte becomes weak and may freeze,
causing damage to the case.
