GENERAL INFORMATION
6. ROPS (ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES)
R O L L O V E R P R O T E C T I V E
STRUCTURES (ROPS)
Rural King tractors are equipped
with a frame for the protection of op-
erators.
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 Rural King 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.
►
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 ser-
viced)
In the event that the seat belt is
damaged or frayed, it should be re-
placed 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 in-
ferior item or items affects the certi-
cation of the entire ROPS structure
and the effectiveness of the struc-
ture in the event of an accident.
Drilling or welding of the ROPS
structure is forbidden.
USE OF THE TRACTOR WITH THE ROPS
LOWERED CAN CAUSE FATAL INJURIES
►
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.
For ROPS frames to be effective
and protect the operator, the seat
belt provided must be worn in or-
der 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.

jects. Make sure there is suffi-
cient overhead clearance for the
