cutter damage and be a potential danger to the operator and passersby.
roPS and Seat Belt
the tractor must be equipped with a Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS) (tractor cab or roll-bar) and
seat belt to protect the operator from falling off the tractor, especially during a roll over where the driver
could be crushed and killed. Only operate the tractor with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt
fastened. tractor model not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features
installed by an authorized dealer.
