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 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.

Stay alert for holes and rocks in the terrain, and other hidden
hazards.
