(ROPS) Roll Over Protective Structures
Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS)
TYM CO.,LTD Tractors are fitted with a frame for the protection of Operators of Tractors to
minimize the possibility of serious operator injury result from accidental upset. These are called as
ROPS and are characterized by providing space for the clearance zone inside the envelope of the
structure or within a space bounded by a series of straight lines from the outer edge of the tractor to
any part of the Tractor that might come in contact with flat ground and is capable of supporting the
Tractor in that position if the Tractor overturns.
The mounting structure and fasteners forming the mounting connection with the Tractor are part of the
ROPS.
Loosen and release the knob slowly and cautiously to fold down the ROPS. If Tractor is
operated with ROPS folded (E.g. to enter a low building) Drive with extreme caution
and do not use seat belt. Fold the ROPS up again before the Tractor is operated under
normal conditions.
Please note that in no condition. The tractor is to be operated without ROPS. Operating
the tractor without ROPS, with folded
ROPS with damaged ROPS or hardware can lead to fatal injuries
Caution
(ROPS) Maintenance and inspection
The ROPS has been certified to industry and/or government standards. Any damage or alteration to the
ROPS, mounting hardware or seat belt voids the certification and will reduce or eliminate protection for
the operator, in the event of a roll-over.
The ROPS, mounting hardware and seat belt should be checked after the first 100 hrs. of machine
operation and every 500 hrs thereafter for any evidence of damage wear or cracks. In the event of damage
or alteration the ROPS must be replaced prior to further operation of the machine. The seat belt must be
worn during machine operation when it is equipped with a certified ROPS. Failure to do so will reduce or
eliminate protection of the operate in the event of a roll-over. Substitution of mounting hardware, seat belt
etc. with components not equal to or superior to the original certified components will void the
certification and will reduce or eliminate protection for the operator in the event of a roll-over.

Never attach chains, ropes to the ROPS for pulling purposes; this will cause
the Tractor to tip backwards. Always pull from the Tractor drawbar. Be
careful when driving through door opening or under low overhead objects.
Make sure there is sufficient overhead clearance for the ROPS fatal injuries
Warning
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
Warning
Always wear your seat belt if the tractor is equipped with ROPS
Warning
