battery.
IMPORTANT: Do not keep the front wheels
turned against the right or left stops for
longer than 5 seconds. The hydraulic pump
may over heat, resulting in pump or steering
gear damage.
6. Do not push or tow the vehicle to get it started.
Damage to the drive train could result.

STOPPING THE VEHICLE

To stop the machine, remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal, depress the clutch pedal, then
depress the brake pedal.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

To stop the engine, turn the ignition key to OFF and
engage the parking brake. Remove the key from the
switch to prevent accidental starting.
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN
Your Workman ® is ready for work. To provide top
performance and long vehicle life, follow these
guidelines for the first 100 operating hours.
• Check the fluid and engine oil levels regularly
and be alert for indications of overheating in any
part of the vehicle.
• After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for
about 15 seconds before shifting into gear.
• Avoid racing the engine.
• Avoid situations requiring hard stops, especially
when hauling heavy loads or pulling a trailer. It
is necessary to fully break-in a new set of brake
linings to achieve full braking performance.
Follow this guideline whenever new linings are
installed.
• Vary vehicle speeds during operation. Avoid
excessive idling. Avoid fast starts and quick
stops.
• A break-in oil for the engine is not required. The
original engine oil is the same type specified for
regular oil changes.
• Refer to Maintenance section for any special low
hour checks.
CHECKING THE INTERLOCK
SYSTEM
The interlock switches are for the operator's
protection, so do not bypass them. Check oper-
ation of the switches daily to assure the system
is operating. If a switch is malfunctioning
replace it before operating. Regardless of
whether switches are operating properly,
replace them every two years to assure maxi-
mum safety. Also, do not rely entirely on safe-
ty switches—use common sense!
The interlock system prevents the engine from
cranking or starting unless the clutch pedal is
depressed or PTO (if so equipped) is disengaged.
To verify the clutch interlock switch
operation:
1. Sit on the seat and engage the parking brake.
Move the shift lever to the NEUTRAL position.
Disengage the PTO (if so equipped).
2. Without depressing the clutch pedal, turn the key
clockwise to the START position.
3. If the engine cranks or starts, there is a malfunc-
tion in the interlock system that must be repaired
before operating the vehicle.
