Safe Operating Practices

The Workman is an off–highway vehicle only,
and is not designed, equipped, or manufactured
for use 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 specific Operator's
Manual provided with attachment for additional safety
instructions. Read these manuals.
To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply
with the following safety instructions:
