SECTION 2 – OPERATION
2-3
WARNING
When improperly operated, a tractor can roll over.
For low clearance use only, the ROPS may be
lowered.
No protection is provided when the tractor is
operated with the ROPS in the lowered position.
ALWAYS raise the ROPS and lock it
immediately after low clearance work.
Folding the ROPS
A foldable ROPS is factory installed on your
tractor. Operate with ROPS in the raised position
whenever possible. Use the ROPS in the folded
position only when absolutely necessary.
To fold the ROPS remove two lock pins, lower
the upper of the ROPS rearward.
Install two lock pins to anchor the ROPS firmly
once in position. To rise the ROPS reverse the
above procedure.
WARNING
Do not operate the tractor with the ROPS folded
as a standard operating mode. A folded ROPS
does not provide rollover protection.
WARNING
Always wear the seat belt when the tractor is
equipped with a ROPS. However, if the ROPS
has been removed from the tractor, or if the
ROPS is in the folded position, the seat belt
should not be used.
WARNING
Always pull from the tractor the drawbar. DO
NOT attach chains or ropes to the ROPS for
pulling purposes, as the tractor can tip
backwards
WARNING
When driving through door openings or under
low overhead objects, make sure there is
sufficient clearance for the ROPS.
