Maintenance And Service - Toro Workman 3000 Series Service Manual

C. Use caution when operating vehicle on a steep
slope. Normally travel straight up and down slopes.
Reduce speed when making sharp turns or when
turning on hillsides. Avoid turning on hillsides when­
ever possible.
D. Use extra caution when operating vehicle on wet
surfaces, at higher speeds or with a full load. Stop­
ping time will increase with a full load. Shift into a
lower gear before starting up or down a hill.
E. When loading bed, distribute load evenly. Use
extra caution if the load exceeds the dimensions of
the vehicle/bed. Operate vehicle with extra caution
when handling off–center loads that cannot be cen­
tered. Keep loads balanced and secure to prevent
them from shifting.
F. Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from re­
verse to forward or forward to reverse without first
coming to a complete stop.
G. Do not attempt sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers
or other unsafe driving actions that may cause a
loss of vehicle control.
H. When dumping, do not let anyone stand behind
vehicle and do not dump load on any one's feet. Re ­
lease tailgate latches from side of box, not from be­
hind.
I. Before backing up, look to the rear and assure no
one is behind. Back up slowly.
J. Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right of way to pedestrians and oth ­
er vehicles. This vehicle is not designed for use on
streets or highways. Always signal your turns or
stop early enough so other persons know what you
plan to do. Obey all traffic rules and regulations.

Maintenance and Service

22. Before servicing or making adjustments to the ma­
chine, stop engine, set parking brake and remove key
from ignition to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
23. When changing attachments, tires or performing
other service, use the correct blocks, hoists and jacks.
Always chock or block the wheels and use jack stands
or solid wood blocks to support the raised machine.
24. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight,
and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
25. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks.

K. Never operate vehicle in or near an area where
there is dust or fumes in the air which are explosive.
The electrical and exhaust systems of the vehicle
can produce sparks capable of igniting explosive
materials.
L. Always watch out for and avoid low over hangs
such as tree limbs, door jambs, over head walk­
ways, etc. Make sure there is enough room over
head to easily clear the vehicle and your head.
M. If ever unsure about safe operation, STOP
WORK and ask your supervisor.
19. Do not touch engine, transaxle, radiator, muffler or
muffler shield while engine is running or soon after it has
stopped because these areas may be hot enough to
cause burns.
20. If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop im­
mediately, turn engine off, wait for all motion to stop and
inspect for damage. Repair all damage before com­
mencing operation.
21. Before getting off the seat:
A. Stop movement of the machine.
B. Lower bed.
C. Shut engine off and wait for all movement to stop.
D. Set parking brake.
E. Remove key from ignition.
F. Block wheels if machine is on an incline.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have suffi­
cient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage. If
fluid is injected into the skin it must be surgically re­
moved within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
form of injury or gangrene may result.
26. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be re­
lieved by stopping engine, cycling dump valve from
raise to lower and/or lowering box and attachments.
Place the remote hydraulics lever in the float position. If
box must be in raised position, secure with safety sup­
port.
27. To make sure entire machine is in good condition,
keep all nuts, bolts and screws properly tightened.
