Safe Operating Practices
WARNING
The Workman is an off–highway vehicle only, and
is not designed, equipped, or manufactured for use
on public streets, roads, or highways.
This machine was designed and tested to offer safe service
when operated and maintained properly. Although hazard
control and accident prevention partially depend upon the
design and configuration of the machine, these factors also
depend upon the awareness, concern, and proper training of
the personnel involved in the operation, maintenance and
storage 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
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 this vehicle.
Not all 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.
