OPERATOR MANUAL |CAPTAIN 273 4WD 31
2.27 To avoid rear overturns
WARNING: Hitching to the rear axle, or any other point above the swinging drawbar, can
cause a rear overturn.
DO NOT pull anything using the top link connection, or from any point
above the center line of the rear axle. Always use an approved drawbar,
and only use a drawbar pin that locks into place.
High hitching can cause rear overturn, which may cause serious injury or
death. Hitch loads to the drawbar only.
When using a three-point linkage drawbar, the stays must be fitted and
kept in the down position.
Use front counterweights to increase tractor stability when towing a
heavy load or to counter balance a heavy rear mounted implement
(fig.20)
DO NOT overload your tractor and DO NOT ballast it beyond its
carrying capacity. Never add ballast weight to counterbalance an
overload. Reduce the load instead (Fig.2-21).
WARNING: An overload is
always dangerous. Check
the loading capacity of
your tractor and NEVER
overload (Fig.2-21
If the front end of the tractor starts to lift, reduce your speed
and, if necessary, disengage the clutch (Fig.2 22).If your
tractor is bogged down in the mud or frozen to the ground,
DO NOT attempt to drive forwards.
