(ROPS) Roll Over Protective Structures
Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS)
TYM Tractors are equipped with a frame for the protection of operators.
In the case of cab tractors the frame is incorporated in the cab structure.
The objective of the frame or cab structure is to protect the operator in the event of a roll over
and they are designed to support the entire weight of the tractor in that event.
Each TYM ROPS frame or cab structure is designed and has been tested to meet industry and or
Government standards.
Included in these tests were all mounting bases and bolts or other fasteners.
DANGER
For ROPS frames to be effective and protect the operator, the seat belt provided must be
worn in order to keep operators within the ROPS protected area in the event of a roll over.
Failure to use the seat belt can still cause serious injury or death.
On some models the ROPS frame has a fold down feature, which can be used to enter low
buildings etc.
Take care when lowering the upper section of the ROPS frame and take extreme care while
9
driving the tractor with the ROPS frame lowered.
Do not wear the seat belt with the ROPS lowered and please remember that the fold down facility
is for special circumstances only and must not be lowered for general use.
Use of the tractor with the ROPS lowered can cause fatal injuries.
As the ROPS frame or cab together with the seat belt was designed to meet certain standards,
they must be maintained in good order and condition.
To achieve this objective, both the structure and the seat belt should be inspected on a regular
basis (every time the tractor is serviced)
In the event that the seat belt is damaged or frayed, it should be replaced and in the event that the
ROPS frame or any part of the mounting structure is damaged or cracked, the faulty component
must be replaced with a new unit.
Such a unit must meet all of the test criteria of the original unit.
Fitment of an inferior item or items affects the certification of the entire ROPS structure and the
effectiveness of the structure in the event of an accident.
Drilling or welding of the ROPS structure is forbidden.
