Safe Operating Practices

The WORKMAN ® was designed and tested to
offer safe service when operated and maintained

prevention partially are dependent upon the

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-

different feel than what drivers experience with
passenger cars or trucks. So take time to become
