OPERATION

RBF-14C 07/04

2.1 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 tractor
dealer.

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.

WARNING!

2.2 Operator Thrown Object Protection

The tractor must be equipped with protective equipment
to shield the operator from falling and thrown objects.
For cab tractors, the tractor must be equipped with a
shatter proof safety window. For non-cab tractors, the
tractor must be equipped with a ROPS and operator
protective safety cage that provides protection to the
right and above the operator seat. DO NOT remove the
ROPS from non-cab tractors to equip a safety cage.

2.3 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.

DANGER!

Never operate the Tractor and Mower Unit without an OPS (Operators
Protective Structure) or Cab to prevent injury from objects thrown from
ground or from overhead trimming. Stop mowing if workers or passersby
are with in 100 yards.
