Safety Instructions
The Workman 3000/4000 series vehicles are designed
and tested to offer safe service when operated and
maintained properly. Although hazard control and acci-
dent prevention are partially dependent upon the design
and configuration of the vehicle, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern, and proper
training of the personnel involved in the operation, trans-
port, maintenance, and storage of the vehicle. Improper
use or maintenance of the vehicle can result in injury or
death. To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply
with the following safety instructions.
WARNING
To reduce the potential for injury or death, com-
ply with the following safety instructions.
Before Operating
1. Read and understand the contents of the Operator’s
Manual and Operator’s Video before starting and oper-
ating the vehicle. Become familiar with the controls and
know how to stop the vehicle and engine quickly. A re-
placement Operator’s Manual is available on the Inter-
net at www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices, and decals in place.
If a shield, safety device, or decal is defective, illegible
or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the ve-
hicle. Also tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to en-
sure vehicle is in safe operating condition.
3. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless clutch pedal is de-
pressed. On TC models, engine should start only when
hydraulic lever is in the neutral position. On vehicles
equipped with the optional PTO kit, engine should start
only when PTO is disengaged.
4. Since fuel used in Workman vehicles is highly flam-
mable, handle it carefully:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
B. Do not remove vehicle fuel tank cap while engine
is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and only to within an inch of
the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill
the fuel tank.
E. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
