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, which
means Caution, Warning, or Danger—"personal safety
instruction." Failure to comply with the instruction may
result in personal injury or death.
Important:
Read and understand the information
in the safety section of the operator's manual
for your Workman vehicle before operating the
machine.

Safe Operating Practices

Important:
The machine is designed primarily
as an off-road vehicle and is not intended for
extensive use on public roads.
When using the machine on public roads, follow
all traffic regulations and use any additional
accessories that may be required by law, such as
lights, turn signals, slow moving vehicle (SMV)
sign, and others as required.
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 Installation
Instructions provided with attachment for additional
safety instructions.
To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply with
the following safety instructions:
