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.
Warning
Supervisor’s Responsibilities
•Make sure that operators are thoroughly trained and
familiar with the Operator’s Manual and all labels on
the vehicle.
•Establish your own special procedures and work rules
for unusual operating conditions (e.g. slopes too steep
for vehicle operation).
Note: This vehicle has a supervisor speed limit switch to
allow you to limit the maximum speed that the operator can
drive the vehicle. Refer to Supervisor Speed Limit Switch,
page 20.
Before Operating
•Operate the vehicle only after reading and
understanding the contents of this manual.
•Never allow children to operate the vehicle. Anyone
who operates the vehicle should have a motor vehicle
license.
•Never allow other adults to operate the vehicle without
first reading and understanding the Operator’s Manual.
Only trained and authorized persons should operate this
vehicle. Make sure that all operators are physically and
mentally capable of operating the vehicle.
•This vehicle is designed to carry only you, the operator,
and one passenger in the seat provided by the
manufacturer. Never carry any other passengers on the
vehicle.
•Never operate the vehicle when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol. Even prescription drugs and cold
medicines can cause drowsiness.
•Do not drive the vehicle when you are tired. Be sure to
take occasional breaks. It is very important that you stay
alert at all times.
•Become familiar with the controls and know how to
stop the vehicle quickly.
•Keep all shields, safety devices, and decals in place. If a
shield, safety device, or decal is malfunctioning,
illegible, or damaged, repair or replace it before
operating the vehicle.

4
•Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate the
vehicle while wearing sandals, tennis shoes, or
sneakers. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry
which could get caught in moving parts and cause
personal injury.
•Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants, and a
helmet is advisable and required by some local safety
and insurance regulations.
•Avoid driving when it is dark, especially in unfamiliar
areas. If you must drive when it is dark, be sure to drive
cautiously and use the headlights.
•Be extremely careful when operating around people. Be
aware of bystanders.
•Before operating the vehicle, always check the
designated areas of the vehicle that are stated in the
Pre-operating section of this manual. If something is
wrong, do not use the vehicle. Make sure that the
problem is corrected before operating the vehicle or
attachment.
While Operating
•The operator and passenger should remain seated
whenever the vehicle is in motion. The operator should
keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever
possible, and the passenger should use the hand holds
provided. Keep your arms and legs within the vehicle
body at all times.
•Drive slower and turn less sharply when you are
carrying a passenger. Remember your passenger may
not be expecting you to brake or turn and may not be
ready.
•Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as
tree limbs, door jambs, and over-head walkways. Make
sure there is enough room over head to easily clear the
vehicle and your head.
•Failure to operate the vehicle safely may result in an
accident, tip over of the vehicle, and serious injury or
death. Drive carefully.
– Use extreme caution, reduce speed, and maintain a
safe distance around sand traps, ditches, creeks,
ramps, unfamiliar areas, or any areas that have
abrupt changes in ground conditions or elevation.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– Use extra caution when operating the vehicle on wet
surfaces, in adverse weather conditions, at higher
speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time and
distance will increase with a full load.
– Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from
reverse to forward or forward to reverse without
first coming to a complete stop.
– Slow down before turning. Do not attempt sharp
turns or abrupt maneuvers or other unsafe driving
actions that may cause a loss of vehicle control.
– When dumping, do not let anyone stand behind the
vehicle and do not dump the load on anyone’s feet.
Release the tailgate latches from the side of the box,
not from behind.
– Only operate the vehicle when the cargo box is
down and latched.
– Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that
no one is behind you. Back up slowly.
– Watch out for traffic when you are near or crossing
roads. Always yield the right of way to pedestrians
and other vehicles. This vehicle is not designed for
use on streets or highways. Always signal your turns
or stop early enough so that other people know what
you plan to do. Obey all traffic rules and
regulations.
– The electrical system of the vehicle can produce
sparks capable of igniting explosive materials.
Never operate the vehicle in or near an area where
there is dust or fumes in the air which are explosive.
– If you are ever unsure about safe operation, stop
work and ask your supervisor.
•If the vehicle ever vibrates abnormally, stop
immediately, wait for all motion to stop, and inspect the
vehicle for damage. Repair all damage before
commencing operation.
•Before getting off of the seat:
A. Stop the movement of the vehicle.
B. Set the parking brake.
C. Turn the key to Off.
D. Remove the key.
Note: If the vehicle is on an incline, block the wheels after
getting off of the vehicle.
Braking
•Slow down before you approach an obstacle. This gives
you extra time to stop or turn away. Hitting an obstacle
can damage the vehicle and its contents. More
important, it can injure you and your passenger.
•Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) has a major impact on
your ability to stop and/or turn. Heavy loads and
attachments make a vehicle harder to stop or turn. The
heavier the load, the longer it takes to stop.

5
•Decrease the vehicle speed if the cargo box has been
removed and there is no attachment on the vehicle. The
braking characteristics change and fast stops may cause
the rear wheels to lock up, which may affect the control
of the vehicle.
•Turf and pavement are slippery when they are wet. It
can take 2 to 4 times as long to stop on wet surfaces as
on dry surfaces. If you drive through standing water
deep enough to get the brakes wet, they will not work
well until they are dry. After driving through water, you
should test the brakes to make sure they work properly.
If they do not, drive slowly while putting light pressure
on the brake pedal. This will dry the brakes out.
Operating on Hills
Operating the vehicle on a hill may cause tipping
or rolling of the vehicle, or the engine may stall
and you could lose headway on the hill. This could
result in personal injury.
•Do not accelerate quickly or slam on the brakes
when backing down a hill, especially with a load.
•If the battery runs out or you lose headway on a
hill, slowly back straight down the hill. Never
attempt to turn the vehicle around.
•Never drive across a steep hill; always drive
straight up or down or go around the hill.
•Avoid turning on a hill.
•Reduce your load and the speed of the vehicle.
•Avoid stopping on hills, especially with a load.
Warning
These extra cautions need to be taken when operating the
vehicle on a hill:
•Slow down before starting up or down a hill.
•If the batteries run low or you begin to lose headway
while climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes and
slowly back straight down the hill.
•We strongly recommend installing the optional ROPS
Kit when operating on hilly terrain.
•Turning while traveling up or down hills can be
dangerous. If you have to turn while on a hill, do it
slowly and cautiously. Never make sharp or fast turns.
•Heavy loads affect stability. Reduce the weight of the
load and your speed when operating on hills or if the
load has a high center of gravity. Secure the load to
prevent it from shifting.
•Avoid stopping on hills, especially with a load.
Stopping while going down a hill will take longer than
stopping on level ground. If the vehicle must be
stopped, avoid sudden speed changes, which may
initiate tipping or rolling of the vehicle. Do not slam on
the brakes when rolling backward, as this may cause the
vehicle to overturn.
•Travel straight up and down slopes whenever possible.
Operating on Rough Terrain
Reduce speed and load when operating on rough terrain,
uneven ground, and near curbs, holes, and other sudden
changes in terrain. Loads may shift, causing the vehicle to
become unstable.
We strongly recommend installing the optional ROPS Kit
when operating on rough terrain.
Sudden changes in terrain may cause abrupt
steering wheel movement, possibly resulting in
hand and arm injuries.
•Reduce your speed when operating on rough
terrain and near curbs.
•Grip the steering wheel loosely around the
perimeter. Keep your hands clear of the steering
wheel spokes.
Warning
Loading and Dumping
The weight and position of the cargo and passenger can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle handling.
To avoid loss of control and personal injury, follow these
guidelines:
•Do not carry loads which exceed the load limits
described on the vehicle weight label; refer to
Specifications, page 13, for vehicle weight limits. The
load rating is for level surfaces only.
•Reduce the weight of the load when operating on hills
and rough terrain to avoid tipping or overturning of the
vehicle.
•Reduce the weight of the load if the center of gravity is
high. Items such as bricks, fertilizer, or landscape
timbers stack higher in the box. The higher a load is
stacked, the more likely the vehicle is to tip over.
Distribute the load as low as possible, making sure that
the load does not affect rear visibility.
•Position the weight of the load evenly from side to side.
If you position the load toward one of the sides, the
vehicle is more likely to tip over while turning.
•Position the weight of a load evenly from front to back.
If you position the load behind the rear axle, it will
reduce the weight on the front wheels. This may result
in a loss of steering control or cause the vehicle to tip
over on hills or bumpy terrain.

6
•Use extra caution if the load exceeds the dimensions of
the box and when handling off-center loads that cannot
be centered. Keep loads balanced and secure to prevent
them from shifting.
•Always secure loads so that they do not shift. If a load
is not secured, or you are transporting a liquid in a large
container such as a sprayer, the load can shift. This
shifting happens most often while turning, going up or
down hills, suddenly changing speeds, or while driving
over rough surfaces. Shifting loads can cause the
vehicle to tip over.
The weight of the box may be heavy. Hands or
other body parts could be crushed.
•Keep hands and other body parts clear when
lowering the box.
•Do not dump materials on bystanders.
Warning
•Never dump a loaded cargo box while the vehicle is
sideways on a hill. The change in weight distribution
may cause the vehicle to overturn.
•When operating with a heavy load in the cargo box,
reduce your speed and allow for sufficient braking
distance. Do not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra
caution on slopes.
•Be aware that heavy loads increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to turn quickly without
tipping over.
•The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying
purposes only, not for passengers.
Handling and Servicing
Batteries
•To reduce the potential for fire, keep the batteries and
motor area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and
accumulation of dirt.
•Always disconnect and remove a battery cable before
servicing any electrical components.
•Disconnecting any battery cable will inhibit operation
of the electrical system.
•Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid
produces hydrogen gas which, in the right proportions
is explosive.
– Always service, store, and charge the vehicle in a
well ventilated area.
– Keep sparks and open flames away from the
batteries.
– Do not smoke near the batteries.
– Never use an open flame to check the level or
leakage of battery electrolyte.
•Use caution when handling and working around
electrolyte. The sulfuric acid in electrolyte can burn
skin and damage clothing. Furthermore, it can be
emitted as a gas that can damage your lungs.
– Wear proper eye, hand, and face protection.
– Do not lean over the batteries at any time.
– Avoid breathing battery fumes.
– Fill the batteries where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
– If you get electrolyte on your skin or eyes, flush the
affected area for 20 minutes with clean water.
Remove acid soaked clothing . Seek medical
attention immediately.
– Keep children and pets away from the batteries and
electrolyte.
•Electrolyte is very poisonous.
– Do not drink electrolyte.
– If electrolyte is swallowed, do not induce vomiting;
instead, drink large amounts of water or milk
followed by milk of magnesia, beaten raw eggs, or
vegetable oil. Get medical attention immediately.
– Keep children and pets away from the batteries and
electrolyte.
•When not filling the batteries, keep the battery vent
caps tight on the batteries. Never operate the vehicle if
any of the vent caps are missing or damaged.
•When removing or installing the batteries, do not allow
the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the
vehicle.
•Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery
terminals and metal parts of the vehicle. Remove all
jewelry and watches before servicing the batteries.
•Do not check a battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts. This will cause sparks which can
cause an explosion.
•Always keep the battery retainers in place to protect and
secure the batteries.
•Read and understand the charging instructions before
charging the batteries; refer to Charging the Batteries,
page 28. Also, take the following precautions and
actions when charging the batteries:
– Turn the vehicle On/Off switch to Off before
connecting the charger to a power source.
– Use only the battery charger supplied with the
vehicle to charge the batteries.
– Do not charge a damaged or frozen battery.

7
– Always unplug the AC power cord from the power
outlet before unplugging it from the vehicle
charging receptacle to avoid sparks.
– If during charging a battery gets hot, begins emitting
large amounts of gasses, or spews electrolyte,
immediately disconnect the charger power cord
from the power outlet. Have the vehicle serviced by
an Authorized Service Dealer before using it again.
General Maintenance

with a new bolt (5/16 x 3/4 inch) (Fig. 12).
8. Lower the cargo box.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to ensure
proper levels.
The air pressure range in the front and rear tires is 8–22 psi
(55–152 kPa).
The air pressure needed is determined by the payload
carried. Lower air pressure will provide less compaction, a
smoother ride, and fewer tire marks. Lower pressure should
not be used for heavy payloads at high speeds.
Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads at
higher speeds. Do not exceed the maximum pressure.
Setting the Charger Voltage
Important The incorrect voltage setting on the battery
charger can impair function and damage the charger.
Always make sure the charger voltage setting matches the
voltage used to power the charger.
1. Locate the voltage selector on the rear of the charger
(Fig. 13).
2. Adjust the voltage setting by moving the switch on the
voltage selector upward or downward to change the
voltage setting (Fig. 13).
The setting is displayed in the window above the selector.
Note: Use the 100V setting for voltages ranging from 100V
to 120V.
Always use the appropriate power cord for the power outlet
of the country or region charging will occur. Contact your
Authorized Toro Dealer to obtain the correct power cord if
necessary.
