OPERATOR MANUAL |CAPTAIN 273 4WD 32
The tractor can rotate around its rear wheels and overturn
(Fig. 2 22).Lift any attached implement and attempt to
BACK OUT. If this is not possible, tow it out with another
vehicle. (Fig.2.22)
Start forward slowly and gradually increase your speed. DO
NOT rev the engine or drop the clutch. If the tractor is
attached to a heavy load, or immovable object, improper
clutching may cause overturn (Fig.2-23 and 2-24). If you get
stuck in a ditch, BACK OUT, if possible. If you must go
forward, do it slowly, and carefully
A bare tractor or a tractor with rear mounted attachments should be
backed up the slope in reverse and travel forward downhill. A tractor
with a loaded front end bucket should be backed down the slope
and travel forward uphill. Keep the loader bucket as low as possible.
Always keep the tractor in gear when going downhill never permit
the tractor to coast with clutch disengaged or transmission in
neutral. º
