(ROPS) Roll Over Protective Structures

Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS)

TYM CO.,LTD Tractors are fitted with a frame for the protection of Operators of Tractors to
minimize the possibility of serious operator injury result from accidental upset. These are called as
ROPS and are characterized by providing space for the clearance zone inside the envelope of the
structure or within a space bounded by a series of straight lines from the outer edge of the tractor to
any part of the Tractor that might come in contact with flat ground and is capable of supporting the
Tractor in that position if the Tractor overturns.

The mounting structure and fasteners forming the mounting connection with the Tractor are part of the
ROPS.

Loosen and release the knob slowly and cautiously to fold down the ROPS. If Tractor is
operated with ROPS folded (E.g. to enter a low building) Drive with extreme caution
and do not use seat belt. Fold the ROPS up again before the Tractor is operated under
normal conditions.

Please note that in no condition. The tractor is to be operated without ROPS. Operating

Caution

the tractor without ROPS, with folded

ROPS with damaged ROPS or hardware can lead to fatal injuries

(ROPS) Maintenance and inspection

The ROPS has been certified to industry and/or government standards. Any damage or alteration to the
ROPS, mounting hardware 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 hrs. of machine
operation and every 500 hrs 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 machine. The seat belt must be
worn during machine operation when it is equipped with a certified ROPS. Failure to do so will reduce or
eliminate protection of the operate in the event of a roll-over. Substitution of mounting hardware, seat belt
etc. with components not equal to or superior to the original certified components will void the
certification and will reduce or eliminate protection for the operator in the event of a roll-over.

levers in the neutral position( if fitted) and the transmission in neutral.

2. Do not start the engine or controls while standing besides the tractor. Always sit on the tractor
seat when the engine operating controls.

3. Safety starter switch.

In order to prevent the accidental starting of the tractor, a safety switch has been provided. The
starting system of the tractor is connected through this switch, which becomes operative only when
the clutch pedal is depressed. On some models shuttle shifter lever and PTO button should also be in
neutral position for completing the starting circuit. Do not bypass the safety starter switch. Consult
your TYM Tractor Dealer/Distributor if safety- starting switch malfunctions.

4. Avoid accidental contact with the gear shifter lever while the engine is running. Unexpected

Tractor movement can result from such contact.

5. Do not get off or climb the tractor while it is in motion.

6. Shut off the engine, remove the key and apply the parking brake before getting off the tractor.

7. Do not operate the tractor in an enclosed building without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes can

cause death.

8. Do not park the tractor on a steep slope.

9. If power steering or Engine seizes to operate, stop the tractor immediately.

10. Pull only from the swinging draw bar or the lower link drawbar in the down position. Use only a

drawbar pin that locks in place. Pulling from the tractor rear axle carriers or any point above the
rear axle may cause the Tractor’s front end to lift.

11. If the front end of the tractor tends to rise when heavy implements are attached to the three-point

linkage, install front end or front wheel weights. Do not operate the tractor with a light front end.

12.Always use hydraulic position control lever when attaching equipments/implement and when
transporting equipment. Be sure that the hydraulic couplers are properly mounted and will disconnect

safely in case of accidental detachment of implement.

■ From the table above we learn about the safety features of the PTO. When the monitor on the dash

panel is blinking, it indicates to the operator that the PTO is in the on position but temporarily not
rotating either because the clutch pedal is pressed or the implement is lifted off the ground or both.
The PTO will start rotating instantaneously when either the clutch pedal is released and/or the
implement is lowered to the ground.

■ The operator must use this blinking signal to clear the area around the tractor off

bystanders/onlookers as the rotating blades of certain implements can accidentally cause injuries to
the persons standing near the tractor.

■ The stopping of the PTO when the implement is lifted off the ground with the position control

prevents the damage to the implement or the PTO shaft.

1.When the PTO control switch is in manual position the PTO does

not stop rotating even if the clutch pedal is pressed. If working on

hard soils,pavements with a rotary implement, the PTO ON/OFF

switch must be put to the OFF position to stop the PTO from

Warning

rotating, If this is not done the rotating blades of the implement

will push on the hard ground below and in turn push the tractor toward causing accident which can

lead to serious injuries or death.

2. Extra precaution must be taken to clear the area of bystanders/onlookers when using PTO driven

implements. The rotating blades of the implements can cause serious injuries on contact. The

warning that is indicated by the blinking PTO monitor is to make the operator aware that the

PTO is in on position and will instantly start rotating if the clutch pedal is released or implement

is lowered or both.

3.In no case the specified rotating speeds indicated by the implement manufacturer be crossed as the

same can lead to serious damage to the tractor/equipment and can lead to serious injuries to

persons around.

DRIVING THE TRACTOR

STARTING THE ENGINE

Before starting the engine carry out the pre-operational checks as set out on page 16.
(1) Sit on the driver seat
(2) Apply the footbrake.
(3) Put the hydraulic lever in the down position.
(4) Push down the clutch to activate the safety-starting switch.
(5) Put the main gear lever in neutral
(6) Insert the ignition key and turn it on
(7) Ensure that the warning lights are working
(8) Always turn the ignition key to left for a moment & release it.

The automatic heater will start working as will be indicated by a light on the instrument
panel .As the lamp goes off turn the key to the start position to start the engine.

(9) Ensure that all the warning lights are off with the engine running.

Never turn the key to the start position while the engine is running as this can

cause serious damage to the starter and engine flywheel.

Only engage the starter for a period of not more than 10 seconds.

If Engine does not start, rest the starter for about 20 seconds and try again for a

important

maximum of 10 seconds.If the engine does not start after repeated attempts,

refer to the fault tracing guide on page 80

Especially in cold weather, always allow the tractor to idle for a while to warm up &
build up sufficient oil pressure to ensure normal operating temperature for longer
engine life.

important

STOPPING THE ENGINE

-After light work let the engine idle for a while and turn
the key off.

-The engine stops when the key is turned off,If the engine
does not stop .Pull the engine stop cable back and hold it
until the engine stops.After the engine has stopped,be
sure to push the engine stop cable back in,or the engine
will not start next time.

After long or heavy work allow the engine to
idle for 5- 10 minutes and turn the key off.

important

46

WARMING UP

When starting the engine allow it to warm up to operating temperature by allowing it to idle 5-10 minutes to
ensure full lubrication and operating temperature.

Failure to do so can shorten engine life substantially.

▶WARMING UP IN COLD WEATHER

Cold weather will change the viscosity of the oil, resulting in a reduced oil pumping capacity, which 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:

Time for warming upTemperature

5~10 min.Above 50°F

10~20 min.50°F~ 32°F

20~30 min.32°F~14°F

30~40 min.14°F~-4°F

Over 40 min.Below –4°F

Ensure the Foot brake(handbrake) is on during the warming period.

important

When the engine is warm push down the clutch and engage the main and auxiliary gear levers to the
required position.

Push down on the brake pedals and release the handbrake.

Increase the engine revolutions and let out the clutch smoothly.

Only change gears with main gear lever while moving and ensure that this is done with fully use of the
clutch.

47

Do not ”ride” the clutch to control speed, use a lower gear.

Do not travel with your foot on the clutch pedal.

Caution

Always connect the brake pedals when traveling on the road.

Never tow anything except with the drawbar.

Do not tow loads which are too large for the tractor’s capacity to brake effectively
especially in hilly terrain.

Take special care when towing large or wide implements.

Danger

Do not carry passengers.

At all times observe local legislation and road rules.

TIGHT TURNS IN THE FIELD

Disconnect the latch connecting left and right brake pedals
to allow the use of individual pedals.
To make a tight turn use both the steering wheel and the
brake pedal at the same time.
For a left turns use the left pedal and a right turn the right
pedal.

Perform tight turns only at a slow safe speed.

Doing so at a high speed can cause rollovers and very serious injury or death.

Caution

NORMAL BRAKING AND PARKING

Let the engine come back to idle and at the same time push in the clutch
and brake simultaneously.

When the tractor has come to a halt, lower any implement to the ground,
and put the main gear in neutral.

Apply the park brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.

Always apply the park brake when parking.

Failure to do so can cause accidents and damage.

Caution

As an extra precaution when parking on a slope, chock the rear wheels.

48

Illustration

UPHILL STARTS ON A STEEP SLOPE

With the pedals connected together push down on the brake
pedals and push down the clutch.
Set all gear levers to low and the throttle to medium engine speed.
Release the clutch and as it engages release the brake pedals.
Adjust the throttle to the required speed.

▶ Driving downhill

Use the engine’s ability to brake when traveling downhill.

Never rely on the brakes only and never travel downhill with the gears in neutral.

When operating in hilly terrain the risk of the rollover is increased substantially,
please drive with extra care.

When towing trailers in hilly terrain ensure that they are equipped with brakes, use

Caution

a lower gear to get maximum engine braking and do not change gears on a down
hill run

OPERATION OF THE DIFF LOCK

While the diff lock is a very useful feature, care should be taken in its use as misuse can lead to dangerous
situations.

The diff lock would only be used in situations where traction is lost on one of the rear wheels.

Use low engine revolutions when using the diff lock.

If the diff lock does not release after removing the foot from the pedal use the left
and right brake pedals in turn to release it.

Warning

Do not try to engage or use the diff lock on tight turns as serious damage can
result.

CHECK DURING DRIVING

Constantly monitor the warning lights on the dash and if any
comes on stop the tractor to determine the cause.
If the oil pressure light comes on check the oil level first of all.
If the oil level is OK ask a qualified dealer to check the
reason for the light coming on.

▶Fuel gauge.

To avoid excessive condensation in the fuel tank refill at the end of each
day’s work and ensure during the day that it does not drop to a low level
where the fuel system will require bleeding to expel air in the system after
refilling the tank.

▶ Engine cooling water.

If the gauge indicates that the engine is running hot, stop the tractor and
check the coolant in the radiator.

Allow the engine to cool down before opening radiator cap as serious burns may
result due to hot steam & boiling water.

Danger

Also check to ensure that the fins in the radiator core are not clogged or that the tractor has a broken or
stretched fan belt.

When traveling on public or farm roads connect both brake pedals and allow for

the weight of any mounted implement to ensure that the unit is not unbalanced.

Also allow for the width when passing other road users.

Caution

Where fitted use the hazard lights provided.

Strictly follow the local traffic regulations.

Caution

When operating near others with an implement attached take particular care to
allow for the width of the implement and avoid accidents.

tractor.

For full details of the items and frequency please refer to the tables on page 57, 58 and 59.

▶Engine coolant

Remove the radiator cap and ensure that the coolant is up to the
filler neck and that it is clean with the correct anti-freeze or anti
corrosion inhibitor in it.

If the coolant is a rusty color, drain the system completely and
refill with the correct mixture of water and anti-freeze or
corrosion inhibitor.

▶Engine oil

Pull out the stick, wipe it and dip in the oil sump.

Ensure that oil level is between the upper and lower mark
near the upper mark. If too low add oil, but never excess
100hrs.

Do not overfill the crankcase with oil.

important

▶Transmission oil

Check the level with the dipstick on top of the transmission in rear of the seat.

If the level is low add oil through the filler hole.

Always ensure that you use the correct oil for topping up or oil changes

Caution

54

▶ Fuel

Use the fuel gauge to check the fuel level and top up
if too low.

It is a good practice to refill the tank immediately
after use to avoid condensation

▶ Tire pressure

The air pressure used in the tires has a direct bearing on the life of
the tire and its performance in the field.

Ensure that the tire pressures are correct and in accordance with
the table on page 59.

To make a visual judgment see the drawing on the right.

It is strongly recommended that tire pressures are checked with a proper gauge only &
visual inspections are relied upon.

important

Excess tire pressure can cause accidents!

Danger

55

▶ Steering

CHANGING THE COOLANT

(1) Open the tap in front of the gear pump to drain the coolant.

(2) Open the radiator cap at the same time.

(3) To give a thorough clean run a hose into the radiator and

flush it out.

(4) Close the tap and refill the radiator with a coolant

mixture of water and corrosion inhibitor or anti freeze.

(5) Start the engine and allow it to run for approx 5 minutes,

check the water level again and top up if required

Do not remove the radiator cap on a hot engine.

Allow the engine to cool down and then turn the cap slowly to ensure, that there is

Caution

no excessive pressure in the radiator.

Serious burns, can result from the contents of pressurized, hot radiators.

Caution

Allow the engine to cool down completely before opening radiator cap.

▶ Anti freeze.

Frozen cooling water can damage the engine.
Before replacing the anti freeze solution flush the radiator.
Mix the anti freeze solution in accordance with the instructions applicable to the brand of anti
freeze and the locals climate.
Replace the solution in the radiator.
In case of loss of solution due to evaporation or overflow, replace with the original mixture ratio.

▶ CLEANING THE RADIATOR AND COVER

Insects, grass straw and dust can all block the radiator and
reduce its efficiency.

Remove the radiator cover to clean it and the radiator.

Release the wing bolt and pull to remove the cover.

Then clean the radiator between the fins and tube by
using clean water.

66

Water or air under high pressure can distort the cooling fins on the radiator and reduce its

important

efficiency.

free play.

The correct free play of the pedal is 0.78~1.18 in

To adjust, loosen the locknut on the turnbuckle and adjust.

Check the adjustment and tighten the locknut if the free
play is correct.

Nut

Front axle

Backward Forward

ADJUSTING THE BRAKES

As is the case with the clutch, use of the brakes
will change the pedal free play and the balance
between the right and left pedal.

The correct pedal free play is 1.18~ 1.57 in

68

▶Adjustment method.

Loosen the locknuts at each end and turn the rod to adjust the brake.
Turning it anticlockwise increases the free play, clockwise decreases it.
Tighten the locknuts.
Check that the free play is correct and the same on both pedals to ensure even braking

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.

Caution

Double check to ensure free play is the same on both pedals

ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE LEVER

If this lever 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 severe shaking of both the steering wheel and the entire
tractor.

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

CHECKING THE BATTERY

The electrolyte level of the battery can evaporate during use
thus lowering the level.

Where it does so replace it with distilled water.

Where a spillage has reduced the level, replace it with
electrolyte.

Low electrolyte levels can cause premature battery failure and corrosion.

important

Electrolyte contains acid and can cause serious burns.

Caution

Any spillage on skin should be washed off by running water immediately.

69

▶BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Low temperatures will affect the performance of batteries so take particular care of it in winter.
For 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 without use time.
To keep them in good condition charge them once a month in summer and every second month in
winter.
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.

Always disconnect the negative terminal first when removing the battery and
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.

Caution

Disconnect the terminals prior to charging the battery to avoid damage to the
circuit and electrical instruments.

FAN BELT ADJUSTMENT

Check the fan belt tension regularly and adjust if
required.

The correct tension is if the center of the belt is
pushed with a finger it moves in approx. 7 to 9 mm
(0.28 to 0.35 in) as shown in the picture.

To adjust the fan belt loosen the top bolt on the
alternator,

Move the alternator to the desired position and
tighten the bolt.

Also ensure that the bolts at the bottom of the
alternator are tight.

70

SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER

To remove the dust from the evacuator valve squeeze it
between thumb and fingers to let excess dust out and
wipe around the valve to keep it clean from outside.

To clean the main element, remove the right fan
cover.

Remove the element by unloading the wing nut.

Remove dust by blowing it out of the element with
compressed air.

Check the element to ensure it is not damaged.

Reassemble the element.

Vacuity valve

Never beat the element on a stone or concrete floor/wall to clean it Check all connections
and hoses especially on the clean side of the air cleaner 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 surfaces seal correctly to keep dust out.

important

When working in dusty conditions increase the service frequency.

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

CHECKING HOSES AND LINES

.

The fuel lines, radiator hoses, hydraulic and rubber hoses are consumables, which deteriorate by age and
use.

Check them regularly and replace if faulty.

Damaged fuel lines leak and cause fires.

Damaged radiator hoses can cause hot water burns and in severe cases seize the

Caution

engine.

71

CHECKING THE WIRING HARNESS AND FUSES

Loose wires make inferior connections and damaged wires can cause short circuits, fires burnt wiring or
reduce efficiency of components.

Replace or repair any faulty wiring or insulation.

If a fuse burns 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 it’s fitting replace it correctly with the standard fitting.

Incorrect wiring or fuses can cause fires to both the tractor and surrounding area so get
the dealer to check it annually.

Likewise fuel pipes and wiring age with use.

important

Ask your dealer to check it at least once every 2 years and replace as required

▶ MAIN FUSES

The wiring harness is equipped with 3 main fusible links who’s
function is to preserve the wiring.

However when a main fuse blows the entire circuit is dead.

Always check the reason & rectify before replacing the fuse of
the same value.

To indicate that the fuse is blown it will be discolored.

▶ REPLACING FUSES

The circuit has 8 blade type fuses in its wiring circuit

(See diagram on page 86)

When a fuse has blown replace it with one of the same value.

Using a large capacity fuse or wire burn out the wiring system.

Use fuse tongs to replace fuses

Always check the reason for a blown fuse otherwise the new fuse is also likely to blow.

NEVER EVER USE WIRE in place of correct grade fuse.

important

SERVICE PRIOR TO DAILY AND SHORT TERMS STORAGE.

Wash the tractor and keep it clean.
Fill the tank to avoid condensation and rust.
Lower any attached implement to the ground before parking the tractor.
For long-term storage consult your dealer

72

3.MAINTENANCE

FUEL SAVING TIPS

To save fuel & oil in your tractor, following things should always be kept in mind.

A) Air cleaning system

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

2) For every 50 hours & everyday in sandy/dusty conditions.

(a) Clean the air cleaner filter element with compressed air.
(b) If the rubber ring is cut or expanded then change it with an appropriate one.

Fix the rubber at the proper location & check for leakages if any.

(c) If air is leaking through the hose connection, check & rectify other leakages, too.

Note: If air cleaning system is not properly maintained, it will lead to early wear of piston rings

& sleeves. This will lead to problems like loss of engine power,, excessive oil consumption
fuel consumption.

B) Engine

1) put the engine oil on load after the engine is heated & the water temperature gauge indicates
the needle to be in the green zone.

2) If excessive black smoke is visible, then the paper element of air cleaner, Fuel injection
Pump or nozzles should be checked.

3) Do not run the engine without load for more than 2 minutes. It is better to stop the engine
rather than run it idle. This will help in saving of fuel.

C) Clutch & Brakes.

1) Do not reduce the power of the power of the engine by depressing the clutch halfway. Instead
use low gear.

2) If the Tractor has to be stopped for a long period, it is advisable to bring the transmission in

neutral position & release the clutch pedal.

3) Do not over ride the clutch & brake pedals.

4) While coming down from a slope, reduce the engine throttle & use low gear. Do not depend

only on the brakes for stoppage.

D) Fuel system

1) Always use filtered diesel 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 the system gets choked. Do not change both the filters at the same time.
If the above directives are not adhered to, the fuel injection pump & injection nozzle will lose
its life early. Also, it will lead to excessive black smoke & excessive diesel consumption.
