STRUCTURE (OPS)
The term OPS refers to a protective
structure installed on a tractor in or-
der to minimise risk of operator in-
jury caused by objects penetrating
into the operator position area.


When trailers are hitched to the
tractor, before you leave the op-
erator seat remember to put all
the controls in neutral, apply the
handbrake, switch off the engine,
engage first gear (with mechan-
ical transmissions) and remove
the ignition key. ALWAYS chock
both the tractor and the trailer
wheels. The best way to trans-
port a tractor that has broken
down is to transport it on a low
loader. Always secure the trac-
tor to the loader bed with chains.
Before transporting the tractor
on a low loader or on a railway
wagon, make sure that the en-
gine hood, doors, openable roof
(if present) and windows are all
closed and securely fastened.
Never tow the tractor at speeds
in excess of 10 kph. An operator
must stay in the operator position
to steer and brake the tractor.
IMPORTANT
This tractor is equipped with a
FOPS.
The energy level of drop test is
