SAFETY CAB
A safety cab incorporating a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and safety belt were standard equipment for the tractor at time of factory assem- bly. The safety belt, when used by the operator, maximizes the protection offered by the ROPS.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE YOUR SAFETY BELT WITH THE CAB/ROPS TO PREVENT BEING THROWN FROM THE TRACTOR IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER. SAFETY BELTS SAVE LIVES WHEN THEY ARE USED.
Information regarding the safety cab/Roll Over Protective Structure and safety belt are available from your authorized Buhler Versatile dealer.
ROPS Maintenance and Inspection
After the first 50 hours of operation and every 1500 hours of operation (or yearly, whichever comes first):
1.Check the torque of the cab/ROPS mounting bolts, as detailed in the lubrication and maintenance section of this manual.
2.Check the operator’s seat mounting bolts and the safety belt mounting bolts. Tighten the seat mounting bolts to 40 N⋅m (30 ft. lbs.). Replace any worn or damaged parts.
Damage to the Cab/ROPS
If the tractor has rolled over or the cab/ROPS has been damaged (such as striking an overhead ob- ject during transport), it must be replaced to pro- vide the original protection.
After an accident, check for damage to the cab/ ROPS, operator’s seat, safety belt and safety belt mountings. Before you operate the tractor, re- place all damaged parts.
