OPERATOR MANUAL
| CAPTAIN 273 4WD 34
WARNING: A front-end loader (bucket or forks) must
be equipped with a suitable restraining device to
prevent the load, bales, fence posts, rolls of fence,
wires etc.) From rolling down the lift arms into the
operator's compartment and crushing the driver
when the loader is raised. Inadequately secured
objects could also fall and injure bystanders. Do not
use implements for different purpose or to handle
materials they are not expected to. For the operation
of front loaders and relative safety rules, please refer
to the Operation Manual of the loader.
Three point hitch and side mounted implements
make a much larger arc when turning that towed
equipment. Make certain to maintain sufficient
clearance for safe turning.
When using attachments or implements with the
tractor, be sure to thoroughly read the Operator
Instruction Book for that attachment or implement and
follow its safety instructions.
Pull only from the approved drawbar. Towing or attaching to other locations may cause the tractor to
overturn (Fig.2-26).
Improper use of the drawbar, even if correctly positioned, may cause the tractor to overturn to the back.
DO NOT overload an attachment or towed equipment Use proper counterweights to maintain tractor
stability. Hitch loads to the drawbar only.
2.29 Road Transport
Before operating your tractor on a public road, a number of precautions must be taken.
Familiarize yourself - and comply - with all local bylaws, and national laws appropriate to your tractor.
Lock your brake pedals together.
Raise all implements to their transport position and lock them in place.
Place all implements into their narrowest transport configuration.
Disengage the PTO.
Make sure any required clearance flags or hazard lights are in place and in working order.
Make sure you use a proper hitch pin with a clip retainer.
