1.0 Introduction
We at Jodale Perry are pleased you have chosen a JDP ROPS for your tractor. The JDP ROPS
has evolved through ideas and suggestions submitted to us by customers such as yourself.
We ask that you study this manual and adopt the practices outlined in it.
We ask that for practices and operations not outlined in this manual, you follow the instructions
given in the operator’s manual supplied with the tractor. Before putting the tractor in service,
become familiar with all the information described in both manuals.
Tractor in this manual is defined as the vehicle mounted with the JDP cab (i.e., tractor, mower,
forklift, etc.).

driver operate the tractor.
2. Keep a fire extinguisher, with ABC
rating securely fastened in the cab.
Maintain it and be familiar with its use.
3. Never carry passengers.
4. Never operate the tractor in a closed
building. Provide adequate ventilation.
Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous
and can kill.

loose clothing relatively tight and
belted. Loose clothing may catch in
moving parts and result in personal
injury or death.
6. Provide a first-aid kit, securely attached
in the cab for use in case of accident.
7. Never jump from the tractor. There is a
danger of catching clothing on
protruding parts.
8. Use steps and handholds when
mounting and dismounting the tractor,
or for servicing components too high to
reach from the ground.

engine. If the tractor is not equipped
with seat belts, purchase approved seat
belts from the tractor manufacturer or
JDP prior to operating the tractor.
10. Safety devices and shields are intended
to protect operators from injury or
death. Under no circumstances should
they be disabled or removed.
2.2 OPERATING SAFETY

2.0 Safety
Carefully review the procedures given in this manual and the tractor operator’s manual with all
operators annually. It is important that all operators be familiar with, and follow, safety
precautions.
Operating instructions must be given to everyone using the tractor before operation and at least
once yearly thereafter in compliance with OSHA Regulations 1928.57 (United States).

4. Keep all shields in place when
operating the tractor.
5. Do not operate the tractor when you are
tired, sick or impaired.
6. Never operate the tractor in confined
areas; visibility next to the tractor is
reduced. Injury to bystanders or
damage to the cab or equipment may
result.
2.3 SAFE OPERATION IN
ROUGH TERRAIN
1. Drive the tractor slowly on hillsides and
curves to eliminate the danger of
tipping. Avoid slopes which are too
steep for safe operation. Avoid sharp
uphill turns.
2. Always drive slowly over rough ground
or obstructions. Drive at speeds slows
enough to ensure your safety.
3. When driving out of a ditch, gully, or
up a steep hillside, engage the clutch
slowly. Avoid sharp uphill turns.
4. When descending steep grades, select a
sufficiently low gear to maintain control
with minimum braking.
5. Use caution when driving near the edge
of a ditch or gully. It may cave in,
causing the tractor to roll over.
6. Be especially alert when operating near
trees, slopes and around obstructions.
2.4 MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Remove mud, crop residue, chains, and
tools from steps and operator’s
platform. They may interfere with
pedal operation or entry/exit from
tractor.
2. When servicing components are too
high to reach from the ground use steps
and handholds. Do not use fenders or
shields that are not designed as steps.
2.5.SAFE HIGHWAY
OPERATION
1. Before operating the tractor on, or near,
public roadways check with authorities
for local regulations.
2. Equip towed implements with slow
moving vehicle (SMV) signs when
traveling on public roads.
3. Install additional lights on implement
rear to safeguard against rear end
collisions.
4. Use hazard warning flashers as required
by law when transporting or driven on
public roads. If the tractor warning
flashers were removed when mounting
the cab, they must be replaced prior to
operation on public roads.
5. Keep to the right, yielding right-of-way
traffic, especially when pulling
implements. Pull off the road and stop
to allow motorists to pass. Drive on the
road shoulder, If permitted by law.
6. Use extreme caution when pulling
heavy loads at road speeds. Avoid hard
application of the tractor brakes at high
speed.
7. Always drive slowly near curbs,
approaches or ditches.

8. Ensure headlights are aligned so they
will not blind the operator’s of
oncoming vehicles. If the tractor is not
equipped with turn signals and law
requires them, install them prior to
operating on or near public roads.

traffic well in advance of turning. If the
tractor is not equipped with turn signals
and law requires them, install them
prior to operating on or near public
roads.
2.6 SAFETY DECALS
1. Keep decals clean. Remove dirt with a
wet clean cloth when necessary.
2. Replace safety decals if destroyed,
missing, painted over or unreadable. If
the tractor safety decals are covered or
obscured when the cab is mounted,
purchase replacement decals from the
tractor manufacturer. Mount them in a
readable location at, or near, their
original location before operating the
tractor.
3. New JDP cab decals and tractor decals
are available from your tractor dealer.
2.7 ROPS SAFETY

Jodale Perry mounting instructions.

ability to withstand a roll over.
2. If the ROPS cab is subjected to

equipment from the cab. Failure to do
so may cause injury or death in the
event of a roll over.
