(ROPS) Roll Over Protective Structures

Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS)

Allmand 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

Caution

ROPS. Operating 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.

9

Damage of the ROPS

If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has damaged (such as striking an overhead object during
transport), It must be replaced to provide the original protection. After an accident, check for damages
to the 1.ROPS.2.Seat 3.seat belt & seat mountings. Before you operate a Tractor, replace all damaged
parts.

10

DO NOT WELD, DRILL OR STRAIGHTEN THE ROPS

Warning

Never attach chains, 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 opening or under low overhead
objects. Make sure there is sufficient overhead clearance for the ROPS
fatal injuries

Warning

If the ROPS is removed or replaced, make certain that the proper hardware
is used to replace the ROPS and the recommended torque values are
applied to the attaching bolts

Warning

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

NOTE: Do not use solvents to clean the seat. Use warm water with a little detergent added.
