1. BRANSON recommends the use of a Roll-Over Protective
Structures(ROPS) and seat belt in almost all applications
2. Remove the ROPS only when it substantially interferes with
operation or itself presents a safety risk. (Examples include work
in orchards and vineyards.) ALWAYS REINSTALL IT BEFORE
USING THE TRACTOR IN OTHER APPLICATIONS.
3. Never use just the seat belt or just the ROPS. They must be
used together. For further details, consult your Operator’s Manual
