(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 operato r, t he seat belt prov ided 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 o r 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 ROP S structure and
the effectiveness of the structure in the event of an accident. Drilling or welding of the ROPS struct ure is forbidden.

17

Damage of the ROPS

If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has damaged (such
as striking an overhea d ob j ect 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.

(Roll-bar type)

(Cabin type)

18

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 Tr acto r drawbar . Be careful when d rivi ng thro ugh do or opening o r under lo w overhea d
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 the attaching bolts

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

PTO monitor Lamp

■ THE PTO MONITOR LAMP on the dash panel indicates the state of the PTO shaft.

1. If the monitor glows: The PTO is rotating

2. If the monitor is off: The PTO is off

3. If the monitor blinks: The PTO is presently stationary but will instantly start rotating of
the clutch pedal is released or the implements lowered.

Two switches operate the independent PTO.

1.PTO ON/OFF SWITCH: PTO ON/OFF switch is located on the LHS. on the
steering column and ca n be identified easily with its built in red colored

indicator.
When the switch is pushed down to start the PTO indicator glows to indicate that
the switch and t he P TO are in ON positio n, If the switch is pushed do wn aga in

■ 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 ro ta ting e ither because the c lutch 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 a nd/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.

52

1.Whe n the PTO control switch is in manual position the PTO does not stop rotating even if the
clutch pedal is pr e ssed. If working on hard soils,pavements with a rotary implement the P T O
ON/OFF switch must be put to the OFF position to stop the PTO from rotating , If this is not done
the rota ting b la d es o f the impl ement will push on the har d gro und b elo w and i n tur n p ush the tr ac to r
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. T he warning that is indicated b y the blinking PTO monitor is to
make the operator aware that the PT O 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.

(7) Ensure that the war ning lights ar e wor king
(8) Operator need to turn key to the “ON” position. The glow circuit automatically activates.
Operator need to wait for glow light to turn off .As the lamp goes off turn the key to the start position to start the engine.
(9) Ensure t hat a ll the warning lights ar e off with t he e ngine r unning.

Never turn t he ke y t o the start p os iti on while t he engine i s 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 maximum of 10 seconds.
If the engine does not start after repeated attempts ,refer to the fault tracing guide.

Important

Especially in cold weather, always allow the tr a c tor to idle for a while to warm up & build up sufficient o il
pressure to ensure normal operating temperature for longer engine life.

Important

71

72

STOPPING THE ENGINE

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

After long o r heavy work allo w the e ngine t o idle for 5- 1 0 minutes and t urn t he ke y off.

Important

WARMING UP

When starting the engine allow it to warm up to operating temperature b y 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:

Temperature Time for warming up

Above 50°F

5~10 min.

50°F~ 32°F

10~20 min.

32°F~14°F

20~30 min.

14°F~-4°F

30~40 min.

Below –4°F

Over 40 min.

Ensure the hand b r ake ( Fo o t bra ke) is on d ur ing the warming per io d .
Failure to warm up correctly can result in problems.

When the engine is warm push down the c lutc h and e ngage t he main and auxiliary gear le ver s to the re qui re d p osi tio n.
Push down on the brake pedals and release the handbrake.
Increase the engine revo lutions and let out the clutch smoothl y.
Only change gear s with main gea r le ver while moving and ensure that this is done with fully use of the clutch.

► STORING ENGINE IN OPERABLE CONDITION FOR 3 MONTHS OR MORE

When the engine is not opera ted during storage of three months or more, internal engine parts can rust and lose oil film.
As a result, the engine can seize when it is started after storage.
To prevent such a rust, the engine must be operated periodically during storage.

Important

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.
Do not carry passengers.
At all times observe loca l le gislatio n and road rules.

Danger

73

74

TIGHT TURNS IN THE FIELD

Disconnect the latch connecting left and r ight brake pe dals 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.

Illustration

Always app ly the p a rk b r ake when parking.
Failure to do so can cause accidents and damage.
As an extra precaution when parking on a slope, chock the rear wheels.

Caution

UPHILL STARTS ON A S TEEP SLOPE

With the peda ls c onne ct ed to ge ther p ush d o wn on the br ake p e d als and p ush d o wn the c lutc h.
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.

75

► DRIVING DOWNHILL

Use the engine’s ability to brake when traveling downhill.
Never rely on the brake s only and never tra vel d ownhill with the gears in neutr al.

When operating in hilly terrain the risk of the rollover is increased substantially, p lease d rive with extra ca re.
When towing trailers in hilly terrain ensure that they are equipped with brakes, use a lower gear to get

maximum engine braki ng and do not change gears on a down hill run

Caution

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 trac tion is lost on one of the rear wheels.

Use low engine r evo lut io ns when using the d iff l oc k.
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.
Do not try to engage or use the diff lock on tight turns as serious damage can result .

Warning

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 o n 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.

If the alternator warning light comes on check all connections and ensure that the fan belt is not broken.
If all connections and the fan belt are intact consult your dealer to determine the cause of the problem.

► 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 le vel where the fuel system will require bleeding to expel air in the system
after refilling the tank.

► ENGINE COOLING WATER.

If the gauge i ndi ca te s that the engi ne is running hot , sto p the tr ac to r and c hec k the c o o lant in the r ad ia to r .

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. Where fitted use the hazard lights pro vided .
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.

Caution

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

► CHANGING ENGINE OIL

Park tractor on level surface, shut-off engine
Remove sump p lug & dr ain o i l.
Replace and check the sump plug and refill the engine with oil to the

correct level

on the dipstick (approx. 5.3ℓ 1.4 gal)

The grade of oil to be used will depend on the ambient temperature.
The tractor is shipped from the factory with 15W/40
For summer use o ver 7 7 ℉ use SAE 3 0
For temperatures from 32℉-77℉ use SAE20 or 15W/40
For temperatures below 32℉ use SAE 10W

When changing the oil always c hange the filter .
Always use the same oil, as using different oils or specifications can cause damage.
Dispose off the old oil as per local regulations.

► CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION OIL

Remove the drain plug from bottom of the transmission and drain the oil.
Replace and check the drain plug.

► CHANGING OIL IN THE FRONT AXLE

1. Drain the oi l from the ce nte r d iff p lug and the d r ai n pl ug in eac h dr ive .

2. Replace and tighten all drain plugs.

3.Remove the top plug(Vent p lug)fr om ea ch final dri ve to vent air from final dri ves.

4. Remove the dip stick from the filter hole and fill with 2.64 US gal (10 liters)

and allow time for the oil to drain into the final drives.

5. Check the oil level with the dipstick and replace the vent plugs on both final drives
and tighten

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 speed this up.

CLEANING AND CHANGING FILTERS

► ENGINE OIL FILTER
Using a filter wrench turn the filter anti clockwise to remove it. Lightly smear the

rubber seal on the new filter with oil to ensure, turn it clockwise until the seal
contacts the base and then turn it another 2/3 turn to tighten it.

1. Close the fuel supply valve (if equipped).

2. Clean the outside of the fuel filter assembly.
Note: If the fuel filter element is mot equipped with a drain, remove cap. Remove the nylon insert in order to reduce the lever of

fuel in the fuel filter element. A reduction in the level of fuel in the fuel filter element will help prevent fuel from being

spilled when the element is removed.
Notice: Do not use a too l in o rder to remove the fuel filter. Attempting to remove the fuel filter with a filter wrench or a filter
strap could damage the locking ring.

3. Hold fuel filter and rotate quick release collar counterclockwise. Removed and discarded.

► FUEL FILTER
The fuel filter/water separator (if e quipped) is not usually supplied by Perkins.
The following test describes a typical fuel filter/water separator .
Refer to the OEM information for further information in the fuel filter/water separator.
Turn the fuel supply valve (if equipped) to the O FF p osition before performing this
maintenance. Place a tray under the fuel filter in order to catch any fuel that might spill.
Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.

Note: If the element is equipped with a sediment bowl, remove the sediment bowl from the element. Thoroughly clean the

sediment bowl. Inspect the O-ring seals. Install new O-ring seals, if necessary. Install the sediment b owl to the new
element. Hand tighten the sediment bowl. Hand tighten the sediment bo wl. Hand tightening is the only method that should
be used.

Notice: Do not fill fuel filters with fuel before installing them. Contaminated fuel will c a use accelerate d wear to fuel system parts.

4. Ensure that the fuel filter base is clean. Push a new fuel filter fully into the fuel filler base.

5. Hold the fuel filter in p la c e . Fit locking ring into position. Rotate the locking ring clockwise in order to fasten the fuel filter to
the fuel filter base.

6. Open the fuel supply valve (If equipped)
