Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS)
Zetor tractors are equipped with a frame to protect the operator.
On tractors with a cab, this frame is built into the cab structure.
The objective of the frame or the cab design is to protect the operator in the event of rolling over, they are
designed to support the full weight of the tractor.
Each ROPS or cab structure, as well as any mounting brackets and screws or other fasteners, have been
designed and tested to meet safety and government standards.
Danger
For the ROPS frames to effectively protect the tractor operator, the operator in the driver's seat
must be wearing a seat belt. This will keep the driver inside the ROPS-protected area in the event of
a rollover. Failure to use the seat belt can result in serious injury or death.
Some models of the ROPS frame can be folded, which can be used when entering low buildings, etc.
Be careful when lowering the top part of the ROPS and be very careful when driving with the ROPS lowered.
Do not use the seat belt with the ROPS lowered and remember that the folding mechanism is intended for
special use only and not for daily routine operation.
Using a tractor with the ROPS folded can cause serious injuries.
Since the ROPS frame or ROPS cab, together with the seat belt, have been designed to meet safety
standards, they must be maintained in good order and in good condition.
For maximum safety, both the frame and seat belt must be regularly inspected (whenever the tractor is
serviced).
If the seat belt is damaged or frayed, it must be replaced and if the ROPS frame or any part of its mounting
structure is damaged or cracked, the defective part must be replaced by a new one.
Such a part must meet all test criteria of the original set.
The use of poor quality component(s) affects the certification of the entire ROPS and the effectiveness of the
structure in the event of an accident.
Drilling or welding or making any unprofessional modifications of ROPS is prohibited.
