(ROPS) Roll Over Protect ive Structures

► ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES (ROPS)

TYM Tractors are equipped with a frame that protects its operator.
The frame is incorporated in the cab str ucture in the case of cab tractors.
The objective of the frame or cab structure is to protect the operator in the event of a roll over and to
support the e nt ir e w e i g ht of the tra ctor.
Each TYM ROPS frame or cab structur e , a s wel l as all m ount ing bases and bol ts or othe r
faste ne r s , is desig ne d a nd has been teste d to meet industry and or g overnme nt standa rds .

DANGER

For ROPS frames to protect the operator effectively, the provided seat belt must be
worn in order to keep the operator within the ROPS protected area in the event of a roll over.
Failure to use the seat belt can 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
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 no 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 m a int a ined in good order and c ondi ti on.
To achieve this objective, both the structure and the seat belt should be inspected on a regular
basis (every time t he tractor is serviced) .

In the event that the seat belt is damaged or frayed, it should be replaced, and in the event that th e
ROPS frame or any part of the mounting structure is damaged or cracked, the faulty component
must be replaced with a new unit.
Any replacement 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 the ROPS structure is forbidden.

14

► DAMAGE OF THE ROPS

If the tract or has r oll e d ov e r or the R OPS ha s bee n da maged (such as striking an over he a d objec t during
transport), t he ROPS must be replac e d to prov i de the or i g i na l pr ote ction.
After an accident, check for damages t o 1. ROPS; 2. Seat; and 3. Seat belt & seat mountings.
Before you operate the tractor, repl ace all damaged par ts.

► DO NOT WELD, DRILL OR STRAIGHTEN THE ROPS

Never attach chains or ropes to the ROPS for pulling purposes; this will cause the
tractor to tip backwards.
Always pull from the Tractor drawbar. Be careful when driving through door
openings or unde r low overhead obje c ts . M a k e sure
there is sufficient overhead clearance for the ROPS to avoid fatal injuries.

If the ROPS is removed or replaced, make certain that the proper hardware is
used to repla c e the RO PS and the recommende d torque v a lue s are applie d t o
the attaching bolts.

Always wear your seat belt if the tractor is equipped with ROPS.

USE OF ROPS AND SEAT BELT

The Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) has been certified to
industry and/or g overnme nt standa r ds. Any damag e or alterna t ion t o
the ROPS, mounting hardware, or seat belt voids the certification and
will reduc e or el iminate protection for the opera t or i n the event of a
rollover. T he RO PS, mounting hardware, and sea t belt shoul d be
checked after the first 100 hours of tractor use and every 500 hours
thereafter for an y evidence of damage, wear or cracks. In the event of
damag e or alter a t ion, the ROPS must be replaced prior to furthe r
operation of the tractor.

The seat belt must be worn during operation when the machine is
equipped with a certified ROPS.

Failure to do s o will reduce or eli minate protection for the oper a t or i n

minutes to ens ur e ful l lubri c a t ion a nd t ha t the e ngine reache s the oper a t ing tempe r a tur e .
Failure to do s o c a n short e n e ng i ne life substantial ly.

► WARMING UP IN COLD WEATHER

Cold wea the r wil l cha ng e the viscosit y of the oil, resulting i n a reduced oil pum ping ca pa city, whic h
can cause damage to the engine if it is not warmed up correctly.
It also causes problems with the hydraulic system and the synchromesh in the transmission.

Correct times for warming up are:

Temperature Time for warming up

Above 50°F

5~10 min.

50°F~ 32°F

10~20 min.

32°F~14°F

20~30 min.

14°F~-4°F

30~40 min.

► FUEL GAUGE

To avoid excessive condensation in the fuel tank, refill it at the end of each
day’s work and ens ure during the day that it does not drop to a low enough leve l
where the fuel system will require bleeding to expel air i n the system after
refilling the tank.

► ENGINE COOLING WATER

If the gaug e indicat e s tha t the e ngine is running hot , stop the tra c t or and
check the coolant in the radiator.

► CHECK DURING DRIVING
Constantly monitor the warning lights on the dash and if any light
comes on, stop the tractor to determine the cause.
If the oil pressure light comes on, first check the oil level.
If the oil level is OK, ask a qualified dealer to check the
reason for the li g ht c oming on.
If the alternator warning light comes on, check all
connections and ensure that the fan belt is not broken.
If all connec ti ons a nd the fan belt are intac t consul t your
dealer to determine the cause of the problem.

pedals to ens ur e ev e n bra k i ng .

► GAP ADJUSTMENT

An uneven adjustment of the left and right pedal will result in one sided braking
when the pedals are connected and can cause serious accidents, especially at high
speeds.
Double check to ensure that free play is the same on both pedals.

Caution

► ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE LEVER

If this level is either loose or difficult to move please consult your dealer for rectification of the problem.

► ADJUSTING TOE-IN

If the toe-in adjustment is incorrect, it can cause the severe shaking of both the steering wheel and the
entire tracto r .

The correct toe in is 0.08~0.24 inches.
We recommend that this adjustment is made by the dealer.

68

► ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH

Using the clutch over a period of time will increase the
Free play. The cor r ect free play of th e pedal is

0.7~1.18in T o adj us t, loos e n t he locknut on the
turnbuckle a nd a djus t .

Check the adjus t ment and tight e n the l oc k nut if the free
play is correct.

► CHECKING THE BATTERY

Check the Ind icator
Green color – Good condition.
Black color – Charging necess ar y.
White color – Replace battery.

Low electrolyte levels can cause prematu re bat tery failur e and corrosi on .

Electrolyte contains acid can cause serious burns.
Any spillag e on the s kin should be w a s he d off with running w ater imme diately .

Caution

► BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Low temperatures will affect the performance of batteries so take particular care of it in winter .
For the long-term storage of the tractor, remove the battery and keep it in a cool dry room.
If it is on the tractor while stored, disconnect the negative terminal.
Batteries will self discharge if left for a period of time without use.
To keep them in good condition, c ha r g e them once a m ont h in s ummer and ever y second month in wint e r .
When replacing the original battery, ensure that the replacement battery is the same size.
Failure to do so can cause problems with the electrical circuit.

► BATTERY CHARGING

-A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially charge
the battery at a high rate and in a short time.

-When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to recharge
the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery’s service life.

Important

69

Indicator condition

Always disco nnect the negative ter min al first when removing the battery an d
always connect the positive terminal first when fitting the battery.
When connecting the battery leads, make sure not to reverse the polarity.
Quick charging will reduce battery life.
Disconnec t t he ter minals prior to charging the bat tery to avoid damage to the
circuit and electrical instruments.

Caution

► FAN BELT ADJUSTMENT

1.Loosen the a l te r na t or pi v ot bolt .

2.Move the a l te r na t or in orde r to i nc r e a s e or
decrease the belt tension.
Tighten the alternator pivot bolt and the link bolt
to 22 N.m (16 lb ft ).

► SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER

■ Cleaning the Air Cleaner Dust Valve

Check that the dust valve is not blocked.
Inspect the rubber flaps for cuts and nicks and check that
the rubber is not pe r i shed.
Replace it if necessary.
To remove dust from the dust valve, squeeze it between
thumb and f i ng e r s .
Wipe around the dust va lve to remove dust, to collect on the

outside..

■ Cleaning/Changing the Element

Release the two clips on the air cleaner end cover
and remove the element.
Remov e dust by blowing compr es sed air through the ele m e nt.
Check the element fo r damage, and if n ecess ar y, change the el ement s .
Check all hoses for condition and tightness.

Never beat the element on a stone or co ncrete floor/wall to clean it.
Check all connections and hoses especially on the clean side of the air clean er to ensure

no dusty air can enter the engine.
Check the element for flaws by putting a light inside the element.
When reassembling, make sure all su rfaces seal correctly to keep dust out.
When working in dusty conditions, increase the service frequency.

► Replace the element after cleaning it 5 times or if it is damaged.

Important

70

Always check the causes for a blo wn fuse; otherwise the new fuse is also likel y t o
blow.
NEVER EVER USE WIRE in place of a correct grade fuse.

► SERVICE PRIOR TO DAILY AND SHORT TERM STORAGE.

Wash the tractor and keep it clean.
Fill the tank to avoid condensa t ion and rust.
Lower any attached implement to the ground before parking the tractor.
For long-term storage, consult your deal er .

Important

71

► CHECKING HOSES AND LINES

The fuel lines , r a diator hoses, hydraulic and rubber hoses a r e consumables, w hi c h dete r ior a t e
by age and use.
Check them regularly and replace them if they are faulty.

Damaged fuel lines leak and cause fires.
Damaged radiator hoses can cause hot water burns, and in severe cases, seize the engine.

Caution

► CHECKING THE WIRING HARNESS AND FUSES

Loose wires make inferior connections and damaged wires can cause short circuits, fires burnt wiring
or reduce the efficiency of the components.
Replace or repa ir a ny faulty wiring or insula ti on.
If a fuse bur ns out again after it has been replaced, do not replace it with wire or a high capacity fuse,
find the cause and rectify it or get an auto electrician to do so.
Where insulation is chafed or peeled off, recover the area with a good quality insulation tape. Where
wiring comes out of its fitting, replace it correctly with the standard fitting.

Incorrec t w i ri ng or fuses can cause fir e s to both the tr a c t or and sur r ounding area so
get the dealer to check it annuall y.
Likewise, fuel pipes and wiring age with use.
Ask your dealer to check them at least once every 2 years an d replace them as

required.

► REPLACING FUSES

The circuit has 8 blade typ e fuses in its wiring circuit
(See diagram on page 86)
When a fuse has blown, replace it with o ne of the same value.
Using a large capacity fuse or wire burns out the wiring system.
Use fuse tongs to replace fuses.

► MAIN FUSES

The wiring harness is equipped with 3 main fuses whose
function is to preserve the wiring.
However when a main fuse blows, the entire circuit becomes dead.
Always check the causes and rectify them before rep lacin g with a
fuse of the same value.
Blown fuses will be discolored.

Important

Long-term storage

When the tractor will not be used for a long time, carry out the same cleaning procedure as for short term
storage.

Drain the oil and replace it with new oil.
Run the engine for approx. 5 min. to ensure that it has new oil throughout the engine.
Drain the coola nt from the radia tor a nd r e move the ignition k e y.
Attach a tag to bo th the key and the steering wheel saying “No coolant”.
Lubricat e all gr e a s e and oil points on t he tra c t or.
Check the pressures and add a small amount of extra pressure.
Lower any implement to the ground or store in a shady dry place.
Disconnec t t he clut c h by using the clutc h di s c onne c ti ng a r m.
Place a piece of wood under each tire to preserve the tire.

After refilling the engine with coolant run the engine for approx. 5-10 m in. at
1500-2000rpm eve ry month as a corrosion preve ntion m e as ure.
Either remove the battery or the negative terminal as mouse damage to wiring can cause

short circuits and fires.
Remove the ignition key and store in a safe place.

Re-use after long term storage.

Carry out a full check of all oils and coolant.
Refit the bat te r y and run the engine at idle for 30 min. to ensure opt imum engine life.

When washing the tractor, ensure that the water does not get near electrical
components or t he oil f i lt e r points.
To prevent short c i r c uit s re move the ignition key.
Do not was h the tra c t or w he n the eng ine i s running .

MAINTENANCE

For daily or short term storage

Clean the tractor and remove all dirt from field work.
Fill the f ue l tank to av oi d c onde ns a ti on a nd r us t.
Lower the im ple ment to the ground.
Keep it in a machinery shed or, if not available, cover the unit if left outside.
In very cold conditions, i t is a dv i sable to remov e the batte r y and keep it inside in a w a r m environment.

FUEL SAVING TIP S

To save fue l and oil in your tractor, the followi ng measure s should always be made .

A) Air Cleaning System

1) Clean the air cleaner regularly so that dust does not settle down.

2) For ever y 50 hours and everyday in sandy:

(a) Clean th e air cl eaner filter element with compressed air.
(b) If the rubber ri ng is cut or expanded, cha ng e it with a new one.
Fix the rubber at the proper location and check for leakages if any.
(c) If air is leaki ng through t he hos e conne c ti on, check and rectify other leakage s , too.

Note: If the air cleaning system is not properly maintained, it will lead to the early wear of piston rings
and sleeves.
This will lead to problems like the loss of engine power, excessive oil and/or consumption fuel
consumption.

B) Engine

1) Put the engine oil on load after the engine is heated and the water temperature gauge indicates

the needle to be in the green zone.

2) If excessive black smoke is visible, th e paper element of the ai r cleaner, fuel inj ection
pump or nozz le s s houl d be che c k e d.

3) Do not run the eng ine w i thout loa d for more than 2 m inut e s .
It is better to stop the engine rather than run it idle.
This will help in save fuel.

C) Brakes.

1) Do not override the clutch or brake pedals.

2) While coming down from a slope, reduce the engine throttle & use low gear.
Do not depend onl y on the brakes f or stoppag e .

D) Fuel system

1) Always use filtered d iesel for the fuel system

2) At the end of the day’s working, it is preferable to fill the diesel tank so that it may prevent
condensation.

3) Change the filter if t he system gets choked.
Do not change both filters at the same time.
If the above recommenda ti ons are not f ol lowed, the fuel inje c ti on pump and injection nozzle will lose
their life early.
Also, it will lead to excessive black smoke and excessive diesel consumption.

79

E) Engine system

1) Always use the recommended grade of oil. (API CD:CE)

2) Every day before starting the engine, check the oil level with a dipstick & refill it so that the level of
oil sits between minimum and maximum levels.

3) Change the engine oil, replace the filter and “O” ring as and when required.

F) Cooling system

1) Check the f a n belt te ns i on r e g ul a rl y and if required.

2) Check the coolant level in the radiator fins and make sure that it is always clean.

3) Replace th e rad iator cap with a genui ne cap, only if required.

4) Do not remove the thermostat, but replace it with a new one if required.

5) Do not change the radiator water often.

Note:

1) Always stop any fuel or oil leakages.

2) Carry out the regular maintenance failure to do so might increase the fuel consumption by 25%.

3) Carry out the torque of cylinder head bolt and adjustment of valve clearance regularly.
Consult your dealer about this issue.

4) Check the tire pressure and inflate the tires as recommended.

5) Always buy genuine spares from the authorized dealer/distributor.

6) Always carry out the service of the tract or by y our authoriz e d dealer /di s tr ibut or .

For any other information, contact y our nea r e s t Author iz ed dealer /di st r ibut or.
