OPERATOR MANUAL |CAPTAIN 273 4WD 26
Clean the soles of your shoes and wipe your hands before climbing on.
Use handrails, grip handrails, ladders or steps (as provided) when
mounting or dismounting.
NEVER use control levers as a hand hold and NEVER step on foot controls
when mounting or dismounting.
NEVER attempt to mount or dismount from a moving tractor. NEVER jump
off a tractor in any circumstances.
Start safely.
WARNING: Before starting the engine, make sure
there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the
engine in a closed building. The exhaust fumes
may cause asphyxiation (fig.2-8).
Always start the engine from the operator's seat with all the
transmission levers and PTO lever in neutral.
Make sure that the tractor dual brake pedals are locked
together at all times unless you are making turns in the field
which require independent use of the brakes. Make sure the
brakes are properly adjusted so that both brakes engage at the
same time.
Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt (where applicable as
outlined in this manual), apply the parking brake and put all
controls in neutral before starting up.
DANGER: Start the engine, with the starter key, from the operator's seat only. Never
attempt to start the engine by shorting across the starter terminals. The machine will start
in gear if the neutral start circuit bypassed. This could cause serious injury or death to
anyone near the tractor (fig.2.9)
