Caution signals a hazard that may cause minor or
moderate injury if you do not follow the recommended
precautions.
This manual uses two other words to highlight
information.
Important
calls attention to special
mechanical information and Note: emphasizes general
information worthy of special attention.
Safety
Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner
can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury,
comply with these safety instructions and always pay
attention to the safety alert
symbol, which means
CAUTION, WARNING, or DANGER—“personal
safety instruction.” Failure to comply with the
instruction may result in personal injury or death.
Safe Operating Practices
The WORKMAN equipped with a spray system is
an off-highway vehicle only and is not designed,
equipped, or manufactured for use on public
streets, roads, or highways.
Warning
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.
