Supervisor's Responsibilities; Before Operating; Operation - Toro 07367 Operator's Manual

This is a specialized utility vehicle designed for off–road
use only. Its ride and handling will have a different
feel than what drivers experience with passenger cars
or trucks. So take time to become familiar with your
Workman.
Not all of the attachments that adapt to the Workman
are covered in this manual. See the specific Operator's
Manual provided with each attachment for additional
safety instructions. Read these manuals.
To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply
with the following safety instructions:

Supervisor's Responsibilities

• Make sure operators are thoroughly trained and
familiar with the Operator's Manual and all labels on
the vehicle.
• Be sure to establish your own special procedures
and work rules for unusual operating conditions (e.g.
slopes too steep for vehicle operation). Use the 3rd
High Lockout switch if high speed could result in a
safety or vehicle abuse situation.

Before Operating

• Operate the machine only after reading and
understanding the contents of this manual. A
replacement manual is available by sending complete
model and serial number to: The Toro® Company,
8111 Lyndale Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota
55420.
• Never allow children to operate the vehicle. Never
allow adults to operate it without proper instructions.
Only trained and authorized persons should operate
this vehicle. Make sure all operators are physically
and mentally capable of operating the vehicle.
• This vehicle is designed to carry only you, the
operator, and one passenger in the seat provided by
the manufacturer. Never carry any other passengers
on the vehicle.
• Never operate the vehicle when under the influence
of drugs or alcohol.
• Become familiar with the controls and know how to
stop the engine quickly.
• Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place.
If a shield, safety device or decal is malfunctioning,
illegible, or damaged, repair or replace it before
operating the machine.
• Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate
the machine while wearing sandals, tennis shoes,
or sneakers. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or
jewelry which could get caught in moving parts and
cause personal injury.
• Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants, and a
helmet is advisable and required by some local safety
and insurance regulations.
• Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away
from the areas of operation.
• Before operating the vehicle, always check all parts
of the vehicle and any attachments. If something is
wrong, stop using vehicle. Make sure the problem
is corrected before vehicle or attachment is operated
again.
• Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it carefully.
– Use an approved fuel container.
– Do not remove the cap from the fuel tank when
the engine is hot or running.
– Do not smoke while handling fuel.
– Fill the fuel tank outdoors and to about one inch
below the top of tank (bottom of filler neck). Do
not overfill.
– Wipe up any spilled fuel.
• Operate vehicle only outdoors or in a well ventilated
area.
• Use only an approved nonmetal, portable fuel
container. Static electric discharge can ignite fuel
vapors in a ungrounded fuel container. Remove the
fuel container from the bed of the vehicle and place
it on the ground away from the vehicle before filling.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the container while
filling. Remove equipment from vehicle bed before
filling.
• Check the safety interlock system daily for proper
operation. If a switch should malfunction, replace
the switch before operating machine.

Operation

• The operator and passenger should use seat belts
and remain seated whenever the vehicle is in motion.
The operator should keep both hands on the steering
wheel, whenever possible, and the passenger should
use the hand holds provided. Keep arms and legs
within the vehicle body at all times. Never carry
passengers in the box or on attachments. Remember
your passenger may not be expecting you to brake or
turn and may not be ready.
• Never overload your vehicle. The name plate (located
under the middle of the dash) shows the load limits
