BOXER ROPS Cab
Printed in Canada: 2006/06
1.0 Introduction
We at Jodale Perry are pleased that you have chosen a BOXER ROPS cab for your
Kubota F-Series tractor. The BOXER cab has evolved through ideas and
suggestions submitted to us by customers such as yourself.
We ask that you study this manual and adopt the practices outlined in it.
We ask that for practices and operations not outlined in this manual, you follow the
instructions given in the operator’s manual supplied with the tractor. Before
putting the tractor in service, become familiar with all the information described in
both manuals.
Tractor in this manual is defined as the vehicle mounted with BOXER cab (i.e.
tractor, mower, etc.)
2.0 Safety
Carefully review the procedures given in
this manual and the tractor operator’s
manual with all operators annually. It is
important that all operators be familiar
with, and follow, safety precautions.
Operating instructions must be given to
everyone using the tractor before
operation and at least once yearly
thereafter in compliance with OHSA
Regulations 1928.57 (United States).
2.1 General Safety
2.1.1. Never let an unqualified or
untrained driver operator operate the
tractor.
2.1.8. Use steps and handholds when
mounting and dismounting the tractor,
or for servicing components too high to
reach from the ground.
2.1.9. Do not use the cab fender as a step.
2.1.10. Fasten seat belt before starting
the engine. If the tractor is not equipped
with seat belts, purchase approved seat
belts from the tractor manufacturer or
Jodale Perry prior to operating the
tractor.
2.1.11. Safety devices and shields are
intended to protect operators from injury
or death. Under no circumstances
should they be disabled or removed.
2.2 Operating Safety
2.1.2. Keep a fire extunguisher, with
ABC rating securely fastened in the cab.
Maintain it and be familiar with its use.
2.1.3. Never carry passengers.
2.1.4. Never operator the tractor in a
closed building. Provide adequate
ventilation. Engine exhaust fumes are
poisonous and can kill.
2.1.5. Always keep sleeves, jackets, or
other clothing relatively tight, and
belted. Loose clothing may catch in
moving parts, and result in personal
injury or death.
2.1.6. Provide a first-aid kit, securely
attached in the cab for use in case of
accident.
2.1.7. Never jump from the tractor.
There is a danger of catching clothing on
protruding parts.
2.2.1. Always operate the tractor controls
while sitting in the operator’s seat.
2.2.2. Lock seat in position and buckle
seat belt before operating the tractor. If
the tractor is not equipped with seat
belts, purchse approved seat belts from
the tractor manufacturer or Jodale Perry
prior to operating the tractor.
2.2.3. Avoid abrupt turns, starts, or
stops, especially at high speeds.
2.2.4. Keep all shields in place when
operating the tractor.
2.2.5. Do not operate the tractor when
you are tired, sick, or impaired.
2.2.6. Never operate the tractor in
confined areas; visibility nect to the
tractor is reduced. Injury to bystanders,
or damage to the cab or equipment may
result.
2.3 Safe Operation in Rough Terrain
2.5 Safe Highway Operation
2.3.1. Drive the tractor slowwly on
hillsides and curves to eliminate the
danger of tipping. Avoid slopes which
are too steep for safe operation. Avoid
sharp uphill turns.
2.3.2. Always drive slowly over rough
ground or obstructions. Drive at speeds
slow enough to ensure your safety.
2.3.3. When driving out of a ditch, gully,
or up a steep hillside, engage the clutch
slowly. Avoid sharp uphill turns.
2.3.4. When descending steep grades,
select a sufficiently low gear to maintain
control with minimum braking.
2.3.5. Use caution when driving near the
edge of a ditch or gully. It may cave in,
causeing the tractor to roll over.
2.3.6. Be especially alert when operating
near trees, slopes, and around
obstructions.
2.4 Maintenance Safety
2.4.1. Ensure all hose connections are
tight, and lines and hoses undamaged.
Before disconnecting heater or air
conditioner lines, relieve all pressure.
2.4.2. Remove mud, crop residue, chains,
and tools from steps and operator’s
platform. They may interfere with pedal
operation or entry/exit from tractor.
2.4.3. When servicing components are too
high to reach from the ground use steps
and handholds. Do not use fenders or
shields that are not designed as steps.
2.5.1. Before operating tractor on, or
near, public roadways, check with
authorities for local regulations.
2.5.2. Equip towed implements with slow
moving vehicle (SMV) signs when
traveling on public roads.
2.5.3. Install additional lights on
implement rear to safeguard against rear
end collisions.
2.5.4. Use hazard warning flashers as
required by law when transporting or
driven on public roads. If the tractor
warning flashers were removed when
mounting the cabm they must be
replaced prior to operation on public
roads.
2.5.5. Keep to the right, yielding
right-of-way traffic, especially when
pulling implements. Pull off the road
and stop to allow motorists to pass.
Drive on the road shoulder, if permitted
by law.
2.5.6. Use extreme caution when pulling
heavy loads at road speeds. Avoid hard
application of the tractor brakes at high
speed.
2.5.7. Always drive slowly near curbs,
approaches, or ditches.
2.5.8. Ensure headlights are aligned so
they will not blind the operator’s of
oncoming vehicles. If the tractor is not
equipped with turn signals, and law
requires them, install them prior to
operating on or near public roads.
2.5.9. Use your turn signals, checking for
traffic well in advance of turning. If the
tractor is not equipped with turn signals,
and law requires them, install them
prior to operating on or near public
roads.
2.6 Safety decals
2.6.1. Keep decals clean. Remove dirt
with a wet clean cloth when necessary.
2.6.2. Replace safety decals if destroyed,
missing, painted over, or unreadable. IF
the tractor safety decals are covered, or

original location before operating the
tractor.
2.7.5. Always operate the tractor from
the operator’s seat.

equipment from the cab. Failure to do so
may cause injury or death in the event of
a roll over.
2.7.8. Do not install the cab on a tractor
model that the cab is not designated for
(tractor designation is printed on the cab
serial number plate). Installing the cab
on a non-designated tractor may result
in injury or death.

tractor decals are available from your
tractor dealer.
2.7 ROPS Cab Safety
2.7.1. Install the ROPS in accordance
with Jodale Perry mounting instructions.
Failure to do so may affect the cab’s
ability to withstand a roll over.
2.7.2. If the ROPS cab is subjected to
alteration, structural damage, or
invovled in an over turn accident, the
entire structure must be replaced.
Failure to do so may result in injury or
death in the event of a roll over.
2.7.3. If the tractor is not equipped with
seat belts, purchase approved seat belts
from the tractor manufacturer prior to
operating the tractor.
2.7.4. Always fasten seat belts prior to
operating the tractor.

window out until the slot in the top
surface of the latch arm is over the latch
arm pin. Push the latch arm down and
away from the pin. Now push the escape
window to a full open position.
Familiarize operators with the
emergency escape window exit prior to
operating the tractor.
The full open position of the escape
window is for emergency exits only. Do
not leave the escape window in the full
open position for normal operation of the
tractor. The escape window may swing
back and break against the side window.

Before starting a tractor equipped with a BOXER cab:
1. Clear the cab and tractor of all tools. Tools left in or around the cab and tractor
can cause operator interference which could lead to bodily injury and/or damage to
the machine.
2. Inspect the cab and tractor to ensure all bolts, screws, and heater connections are
tight.
3. Ensure that all pedals, levers, and controls have adequate clearance for normal
operation.
4. Ensure that all electrical components of both the cab and tractor operates
normally.
Start the tractor and run standing at idle for a few minutes. Operate all pedals,
levers, and controls checking for adequate cab clearance. Then run standing at
PTO rpm speed for approximately five minutes and stop the tractor.
1. Inspect the heaters connections for leaks. Tighten as required.
2. Ensure that the water level in the tractor is to the required specification.
