Safety

Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can
result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply
with these safety instructions and always pay attention to the
safety alert symbol. Failure to comply with the instruction
may result in personal injury or death.

Safe Operating Practices

WARNING
The Workman equipped with a spray system is
an off-highway vehicle only and is not designed,
equipped, or manufactured for use on public
streets, roads, or highways.
Do not drive the workman on public streets, roads,
or highways.
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 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 your
Workman.
Not all of the attachments that adapt to the Workman
are covered in this manual. See the Operator's
Manual provided with attachment for additional safety
instructions.
Supervisor's Responsibilities
•
Make sure that operators are thoroughly trained and
familiar with the Operator's Manual, Training Material,
Engine Manual, and all labels on the Workman 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 third high
lockout switch if high speed could result in a safety or
vehicle abuse situation.

Chemical Safety

WARNING
Chemical substances used in the spray system may
be hazardous and toxic to you, bystanders, animals,
plants, soils or other property.
• Carefully read and follow the chemical
warning labels and Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) for all chemicals used and
protect yourself according to the chemical
manufacturer's recommendations. For example,
use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) including face and eye protection, gloves,
or other equipment to guard against personal
contact with the chemical.
• Keep in mind that there may be more than
one chemical used, and information on each
chemical should be assessed.
• Refuse to operate or work on the sprayer if this
information is not available!
• Before working on a spray system, make sure
that the system has been triple rinsed and
neutralized according to the recommendations
of the chemical manufacturer(s) and all of the
valves have been cycled 3 times.
• Verify there is an adequate supply of clean water
and soap nearby, and immediately wash off any
chemicals that contact you.
•
Obtain proper training before using or handling
chemicals.
•
Use the correct chemical for the job.
•
Follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions for the
safe application of the chemical.
•
Handle chemicals in a well ventilated area.

Wear goggles and other protective equipment as
instructed by the chemical manufacturer. Ensure that as
little skin as possible is exposed while using chemicals.
•
Have clean water available especially when filling the
spray tank.
•
Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working with chemicals.
•
Always wash your hands and other exposed areas as soon
as possible after finishing the work.
•
Properly dispose of unused chemicals and chemical
containers as instructed by the chemical manufacturer
