(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 tractors the 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 designed to support the entire weight of the tractor in that event.

Each TYM ROPS frame or cab structure is designed and has been tested to meet industry and or Government standards.

Included in these tests were all mounting bases and bolts or other fasteners.

DANGER

For ROPS frames to be effective and protect the operator, the 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 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 maintained in good order and condition.

To achieve this objective, both the structure and the seat belt should be inspected on a regular basis (every time the tractor 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 accident.

Drilling or welding of the ROPS structure is forbidden.

► 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.

► DO NOT WELD, DRILL OR STRAIGHTEN THE ROPS

Never attach chains, ropes to the ROPS for pulling purposes; this will cause the Tractor to tip backwards.

Always pull from the Tractor drawbar.

Warning Be careful when driving through door opening or under low overhead objects. Make sure there is sufficient overhead clearance for the ROPS fatal injuries

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

Warning the attaching bolts

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

Warning

How to adjust the Seat

* Damping type

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

Before operating a Tractor it is important to adjust the seat to the most comfortable position & check whether it is properly locked in its position.

Figure 1 identifies the seat fitted to your Tractor.

► FOR SLIDING SEAT ■ Sliding Seat type

Lift lever (A) and slide the seat to the position you want. Release the lever. Make sure the seat is locked in position.

■ Damping Seat type

Lift lever (A) and slide the seat to the position you want. Release the lever.

Make sure the seat is locked in position. Turn knob (B) to adjust the height of the seat. Turn lever (C) to adjust the damping effect of the seat.

The adjustment required will be dependant on the operator’s weight.

Check whether the seat properly locked in its position before driving the tractor. Danger
