Tractors are not designed to run on highly uneven terrain. Moreover, loads drawn or carried behind the tractor can upset its balance, and this increases the risk of side and rear rollovers. For your safety, your tractor must be equipped with a protective structure (ROPS) that complies with the prescribed standards. This structure is designed so as to ensure that an operator wearing a seatbelt has a minimum of safe space in the event of a rollover. 1, record 1, English, - protective%20structure

Le tracteur n'est pas conçu pour circuler en terrain très accidenté. De plus, les charges tirées ou portées derrière le tracteur peuvent le débalancer, ce qui a pour effet d'augmenter les risques de cabrage et de renversements latéraux. Pour votre sécurité, votre tracteur doit être muni d'une structure de protection (SPR) conforme aux normes prescrites. Cette structure est conçue pour assurer à l'opérateur, portant une ceinture de sécurité, un minimum d'espace vital lors d'un éventuel renversement. 1, record 1, French, - structure%20de%20protection

La présente norme d'essai a pour but de définir un moyen d'évaluer les caractéristiques de la charge versus la déformation d'un cadre de protection sous une charge statique et de prescrire les exigences minimales de ces cadres (Bureau de normalisation du Québec, Norme d'essai BNQ 1818-903, juin 1973, p. 1). La cabine comprend un cadre ROPS conforme à la norme J-394 de la SAE. 1, record 2, French, - cadre%20de%20protection

L'usage quasi international semble adopter de plus en plus le sigle ROPS dans la formation des appellations servant à désigner ce type de cadre de protection; c'est pourquoi nous donnons le terme cadre ROPS comme synonyme et en suggérons l'emploi qui ne peut qu'ajouter de la précision au texte. 1, record 2, French, - cadre%20de%20protection
