(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
