Safety

The WORKMAN ® was designed and tested to
offer safe service when operated and maintained
properly. Although hazard control and accident
prevention partially are dependent upon the
design and configuration of the machine, these
factors are also dependent upon the awareness,
concern, and proper training of the personnel
involved in the operation, maintenance and stor-
age of the machine. Improper use or maintenance
of the machine can result in injury or death.
This is a specialized utility vehicle designed for
off-road use. its ride and handling will have a dif-
ferent feel than what drivers experience with pas-
senger cars or trucks. So take time to become
familiar with your WORKMAN
attachments that adapt to the WORKMAN
