SECTION 2: OPERATION

ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)

This tractor is equipped with a foldable Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) and seat belts. When used together they are effective in reducing injuries to the operator in the event of an accidental tractor rollover. The safety provided by the ROPS is minimized if the seat belt is not properly adjusted AND buckled. Refer to ADJUSTMENTS for seat belt adjustment.

WARNING: Always wear the seat belt when operating the tractor equipped with a ROPS. However, if the ROPS is in the folded position or has been re- moved, the seat belt must not be used.

Use the following guidelines when using a tractor equipped with a ROPS:

•Be aware of overhead clearances in the area of operation. Check for clearance of door (or gate) openings and other overhead objects such as utility lines and tree branches. Overhead objects could catch the ROPS and upset the tractor.

•Do not modify the ROPS by drilling holes for, or welding accessories to the structure.

•Do not use the ROPS to pull objects with the tractor. Use ONLY the tractor drawbar for pulling.

•In the event of an accident, have the ROPS carefully inspected and, if necessary, replaced by your Cub Cadet dealer. Do not attempt to repair the ROPS.

FOLDING THE ROPS

The foldable ROPS feature allows the operator to quickly lower the ROPS to operate in areas where there is low overhead clearance. However, the ROPS should be used in the lowered position only when absolutely necessary. Operate with the ROPS in the ‘up’ position whenever possible.

WARNING: A folded ROPS does not provide rollover protection. When the ROPS is in the folded position, the seat belt must NOT be used.

Reposition the ROPS as follows:

•Slightly loosen the two hex screws on the front of the ROPS to relieve their pressure on the ROPS. See Figure 13.

•Remove the two internal cotter pins, and, while supporting the ROPS, withdraw the clevis pins. See Figure 13. Carefully lower the ROPS.

•Reinstall the clevis pins and cotter pins for storage.
