3.1 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 models not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features installed by an authorized dealer. OPS-U- 0003

Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll- over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.

3.2 Tractor Horsepower

The power required to operate a blade is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most operating conditions, the 800 rear blade requires a tractor with at least 85 HP for a 2-Wheel Drive, and 72 HP for a Front Wheel Assist Tractor. Operating the blade with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine. Exceeding the recommended horsepower may cause blade damage by overpowering the unit in heavy operating conditions.
