Breaking In A New Machine; During Operation; During Operation Safety - Toro Workman GTX Operator's Manual

If you continue to use the machine with only 2 bars
remaining, bars 1 and 2 alternately flash.
Important:
When only the second bar from the
left remains on the battery-discharge indicator,
the machine may enter a reduced-speed mode;
this mode aids in protecting the batteries, but
prolonged operation in this mode can damage
the batteries and/or the machine. Avoid draining
your batteries down to the second bar from the
left to prevent this issue. Charge the batteries
immediately.
If the batteries become fully discharged, the
machine shuts down. Do not allow the batteries to
become fully discharged.
Important:
To obtain maximum battery life,
always charge the batteries before the charge
reaches the second bar from the left on the
screen. Regularly depleting the batteries to lower
than the second bar from the left reduces the life
of the batteries.

General Safety
•
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Passengers should sit in the designated seating
positions only. Do not carry passengers in the
cargo bed. Keep bystanders and pets away from
the machine during operation.
•
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye
protection; long pants; substantial, and
slip-resistant footwear. Tie back long hair and do
not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry.
•
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of the machine.
•
Use extra caution when operating, braking, or
turning the machine with a heavy load in the cargo
bed.
•
Carrying oversized loads in the cargo bed reduces
the stability of the machine. Do not exceed the
carrying capacity of the bed.
•
Carrying material that cannot be bound to the
machine adversely affects the steering, braking,
and stability of the machine. When you carry
material that cannot be bound to the machine, use
caution when steering or braking.
•
Carry a reduced load and reduce the ground
speed of the machine when operating on rough,
uneven terrain, and near curbs, holes, and other
sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift,
causing the machine to become unstable.
•
Before you start the machine, ensure that the
transmission is in neutral, the parking brake is
engaged, and you are in the operating position.
•
You and your passengers should remain seated
whenever the machine is moving. Keep your
hands on the steering wheel; your passengers
should use the handholds provided. Keep arms
and legs within the machine body at all times.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Use care
