For added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator,
install a certified Falling Object Protective Structure. Shiftable loads,
round bales, large loose items, and loader attachments can fall toward
the operator resulting in serious injury or death. Falling Object Protective
Structure (FOPS) rated Cab may be obtained from the tractor dealer or
other sources.

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
3.2 Tractor Lighting and SMV Emblem
If the tractor will be operated near or traveled on a
public roadway it must be equipped with proper
warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of
the unit. Most tractor’s have different settings for
operating and transporting lighting. Refer to the
tractor operator’s manual for using the tractor’s
light switch and operating the turn signals.
