(ROPS) Roll Over Protective Structures

► ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES (ROPS)

TYM Tractors are equipped with a frame for the protection of operators.
In the case of cab tracto r s th e frame is incorporated in the cab structure.
The objective of the frame or cab structure is to protect the operator in the event of a roll over
and they are desig ne d to suppor t the entire weight of the tractor in that e v e nt .
Each TYM ROPS frame or cab structure is designed and has been tested to meet industry and or
Government standards.
Included in thes e tes t s w e r e all mounti ng ba s e s and bolt s or ot he r fasteners.

DANGER

For ROPS frames to be effective and protect the operator, t he seat belt provided must be
worn in order to keep operators within the ROPS protected area in the event of a roll over.
Failure to use the seat belt can still 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 must not be lowered for general use.

Use of the tractor w ith the ROPS lowered can cause fatal i njuries.

As the ROPS frame or cab together with the seat belt was designed to meet certain standards,
they must be ma int a ine d in g ood or de r and condition.
To achieve this objective, both the structure and the seat belt should be inspected on a regular
basis (every time the tr actor is serviced)

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

Drilling or welding of the ROPS structure is forbidden.

14

► DAMAGE OF THE ROPS

If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has damaged (such as striking an overhead object during
transport), I t m us t be replaced to provide the or i g i na l pr ote ction.
After an accident, check for damages to the 1.ROPS.2.Seat 3.seat belt & seat mount ings.
Before you operate a Tracto r , replace all damaged par ts.

► DO NOT WELD, DRILL OR STRAIGHTEN THE ROPS

► CLEANING AND CHANGING FILTERS

► ENGINE OIL FILTER

Using a filter wrench turn the filter
anti clockwise to remove it.
Lightly sme a r the rubber s e a l on the new
filter with oil to ensure, turn it clockwise
until the seal conta c t s the ba s e and the n t ur n it
another 2/3 turn to ti g ht e n it .

Some operators have found that when they fill with the correct amount of oil and dip
it,the oil level on the dipstick is too high due to the fact that it takes a while for the
oil to run into the final drives.
Opening the Vent plugs helps to spee d this up.

► GAP ADJUSTMENT

► ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH

Using the clutch over a period of time will increase th e
free play.
The correct free play of the pedal is 0.78~1.18 in
To adjust, loosen the locknut on the turnbuck le a nd adjust .
Check the adjustment and tighten the l oc k nut if the
free play is correct.

► ADJUSTING THE BRAKES

As is the case with the clutch, use of the brakes will
change the pedal free pl ay and the balance between
the right and left pedal.
The correct pedal free play is 1.18~ 1.57 in

■ Adjusting M ethod

Loosen the locknut s to a dj us t t he bra ke.
Turn the Turnbuckle counterclockwise to increases the
free play, or turn the Turnbuckle clockwise to decreases.
Tighten the locknut and confirm to fix the Nuts.
Check that the free play is correct and the same on bot h
pedals to ensure ev e n bra k i ng .

Uneven adjustment of the left and right pe da l will result in one side d bra king
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 eit he r loose or diffic ult to mov e pleas e cons ul t your dealer for re c ti fication of the problem.

► ADJUSTING TOE-IN

If the toe-in adjustment is in correct it can cause severe shaking of both the steering wheel and the entire
tractor.

Caution

► BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Low temperatures will affect the performance of b atteries so take particular care of it in winter.
For long-term storage of the tractor remove the battery and keep it in a coo l 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 condi ti on charge them once a m ont h in summer and every second month in winte 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

Low electrolyte levels can cause premature bat tery failure and corrosio n .

Electrolyte contains acid and can cause serious burns.
Any spillage on skin should be washed off by running water immediately.

-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.

75

Always disconn ect 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 ter minals prior to cha rging the battery to av oid damage to the
circuit and electrical instruments.

► FAN BELT ADJUSTMENT

1.Loosen the alt e r na tor pi v ot bol t.

2.Move the alte r na tor 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 per is he d.
Renew if necessary.
To remove dust from the dust valve, squeeze it between
thumb and fing e r s .
Wipe around the dust valve to remove dust collect ed on
the outside.

■ Cleaning/Changing the Element

Release the three clips on the Air Cleaner end cover
and Remove the element.
Remove dust by blowing compr es sed air through the el em e nt.
Check the element for damage, if necessary, change the elements.
Check all hoses for condition and tightness.

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.

important

When reassembling make s ure all surfaces seal correctl y to keep dust out.
When working in dusty conditions incr e a s e the se r v i c e freque nc y.

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

76

► CHECKING HOSES AND LINES

The fuel lines, ra dia t or hoses, hydrauli c and rubbe r hos e s a r e consumables, which det e ri or a te
by age and use.
Check them regularly and replace if faulty.

Damaged fuel lines leak and cause fires.

Caution

► 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 a ny faulty wiring or insula t ion.
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.

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

important

► REPLACING FUSES

The circuit has 8 blade type fuses in its wiring circuit
(See diagram on page 91.)
When a fuse has blown rep lace 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

► MAIN FUSES

The wiring harness is equipped with 3 main fuses who’s
function is to preserve the wiring.
However when a main fuse blows the entire circuit is d ead.
Always check the reason & rectify before replacing the
fuse of the same value.
To indicate that the fuse is blown it will be discolored.

Incorrect wir i ng or f us e s can ca us e fire s to both the t r a c tor and s urr oundi ng area so
get the dealer to check it annually.
Likewise fuel pipes and wiring age with use.
Ask your dealer to check it at least once every 2 years and replace as required

FUEL SAVING TIPS

To save fuel & oil in your tra c t or, following things s hould a l ways 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 & eve r yday in sandy/dust y conditions.

(a) Clean the air cleaner filter element with compressed air.
(b) If the rubber ring is cut or ex pa nded then change it w it h an a ppropr iate 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 injecti on
Pump or nozzles should be chec ke d.

3) Do not run the engine w it hout l oa d for more than 2 minute s . It is bett e r to stop t he e ng i ne
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 eng i ne by depres s i ng the clutch halfw ay.
Instead use low gear.

2) If the Trac tor has to be st oppe d for a long period, it is adv is a bl e to bring the transmis s i on 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 stoppag e.

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 get s choked.
Do not change both the filters at the same time.
If the above directive s are not a dhe re d t o, t he fuel injection pum p & inje c ti on noz z l e will lose
its life early.
Also, it will lead to excessive black smoke & excessive diesel consumption.

85

E) Engine system

1) Always use recommended grade of oil.

2) Everyday before startin g t he engine, check the oil level with a dipstick & refill between the
minimu m & maximum level.

3) Charge the engine oil, Replace filter & “O” ring, as & when req uired.

F) Cooling system

1) Check the fa n belt te ns ion regularly. Adjust, If required.

2) Check the coolant level in the radiator fins always clean.

3)Replace the radiator cap with a genuine cap on ly, if required.

4) Do not remove the thermostat but replace 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 & adjustment of valve clearance regularly.
Consult your dealer for this.

4) Check the tire pressure & inflate, as recommended.

5) Always buy genuine spares from the authorized Dealer/Distributor.

6) Always carry out the service of the Tractor by your authorized Dealer/Distribu to r.

For any other infor mation, contact your nearest Authori z e d D e a l e r/ D is t ri butor .
