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
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.
TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY OR
DEATH, COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Supervisor’s Responsibilities
•Make sure operators are thoroughly trained and familiar
with the Operator’s Manual and all labels on the
vehicle.
•Be sure to establish your own special procedures and
work rules for unusual operating conditions (e.g. slopes
too steep for vehicle operation). Use the 3rd High
Lockout switch if high speed could result in a safety or
vehicle abuse situation.
Before Operating
•Operate the machine only after reading and
understanding the contents of this manual. A
replacement manual is available by sending complete
model and serial number to: The Toro Company, 8111
Lyndale Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55420.
•Never allow children to operate the vehicle. Never
allow adults to operate it without proper instructions.
Only trained and authorized persons should operate this
vehicle. Make sure all operators are physically and
mentally capable of operating the vehicle. Anyone who
operates the vehicle should have a motor vehicle
license.
•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.
•Become familiar with the controls and know how to
stop the engine 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 machine.
•Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate machine
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.
•Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away from
the areas of operation.
•Before operating the vehicle, always check all parts of
the vehicle and any attachments. If something is wrong,
stop using vehicle. Make sure problem is corrected
before vehicle or attachment is operated again.
•Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it carefully.
– Use an approved gasoline container.
– Do not remove cap from fuel tank when engine is
hot or running.
– Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
– Fill fuel tank outdoors and to about one inch below
top of tank (bottom of filler neck). Do not overfill.
– Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
•Use only an approved non–metal, portable fuel
container. Static electric discharge can ignite gasoline
vapors in a ungrounded fuel container. Remove the fuel
container from the bed of the vehicle and place on the
ground away from the vehicle before filling. Keep
nozzle in contact with container while filling. Remove
equipment from vehicle bed before filling
•Check the safety interlock system daily for proper
operation; refer to page 32. If a switch should
malfunction, replace the switch before operating

5
machine. After every two years, replace the interlock
switches in the safety system, whether they are working
properly or not.
While Operating
•Operator and passenger should remain seated whenever
the vehicle is in motion. Operator should keep both
hands on steering wheel, whenever possible and
passenger should use hand holds provided. Keep arms
and legs within the vehicle body at all times. Never
carry passengers in the box or on attachments.
Remember your passenger may not be expecting you to
brake or turn and may not be ready.
•Never overload your vehicle. Name plate (located under
dash on passenger side) shows load limits for vehicle.
Never overfill attachments or exceed the vehicle
maximum GVW.
•When starting the engine:
– Sit on operator’s seat and ensure parking brake is
engaged.
– Disengage PTO (if so equipped) and return hand
throttle lever to OFF position (if so equipped).
– Move shift lever to NEUTRAL and depress clutch
pedal.
– Keep foot off accelerator pedal.
– Turn ignition key to START.
•Using the machine demands attention. Failure to
operate vehicle safely may result in an accident, tip over
of vehicle and serious injury or death. Drive carefully.
To prevent tipping or loss of control:
– Use extreme caution, reduce speed and maintain a
safe distance around sand traps, ditches, creeks,
ramps, any unfamiliar areas or other hazards.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– 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
whenever possible.
– Use extra caution when operating vehicle on wet
surfaces, at higher speeds or with a full load.
Stopping time will increase with a full load. Shift
into a lower gear before starting up or down a hill.
– 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
centered. Keep loads balanced and secure to prevent
them from shifting.
– Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from
reverse to forward or forward to reverse without
first coming to a complete stop.
– Do not attempt sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers or
other unsafe driving actions that may cause a loss of
vehicle control.
– Do not pass another vehicle traveling in the same
direction at intersections, blind spots, or at other
dangerous locations.
– When dumping, do not let anyone stand behind
vehicle and do not dump load on any one’s feet.
Release tailgate latches from side of box, not from
behind.
– Keep al bystanders away. Before backing up, look to
the rear and assure no one is behind. Back up
slowly.
– Watch out for traffic when 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 other persons know what you
plan to do. Obey all traffic rules and regulations.
– 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.
– Always watch out for and avoid low over hangs
such as tree limbs, door jambs, over head walkways,
etc. Make sure there is enough room over head to
easily clear the vehicle and your head.
– If ever unsure about safe operation, STOP WORK
and ask your supervisor.
•Do not touch engine, transaxle, muffler or muffler
manifold while engine is running or soon after it has
stopped because these areas may be hot enough to cause
burns.
•If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop
immediately, turn engine off, wait for all motion to stop
and inspect for damage. Repair all damage before
resuming operation.
•Before getting off the seat:
– Stop movement of the machine.
– Lower bed.
– Shut engine off and wait for all movement to stop.
– Set parking brake.
– Remove key from ignition.
– Block wheels if machine is on an incline.

6
Maintenance
•Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine,
stop engine, set parking brake and remove key from
ignition to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
•Never work under a raised bed without placing bed
safety support on fully extended cylinder rod.
•Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
•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.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage.
If fluid is injected into the skin it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with
this form of injury or gangrene may result.
•Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be
relieved 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
support.
•To make sure entire machine is in good condition, keep
all nuts, bolts and screws properly tightened.
•To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumulation
of dirt.
•If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance
adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any parts of
the body away from the engine and any moving parts.
Keep everyone away.
•Do not overspeed engine by changing governor settings.
Maximum engine speed is 3650 rpm. To assure safety
and accuracy, have an Authorized TORO Distributor
check maximum engine speed with a tachometer.
•If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is
required, contact an Authorized TORO Distributor.
•To be sure of optimum performance and safety, always
purchase genuine TORO replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers could be dangerous. Altering this
vehicle in any manner may affect the vehicle’s
operation, performance, durability or its use may result
in injury or death. Such use could void the product
warranty of The TORO Company.
•This vehicle should not be modified without the TORO
Company’s authorization. Direct any inquiries to The
TORO Company, Commercial Division, Vehicle
Engineering Dept., 300 West 82nd St., Bloomington,
Minnesota 55420–1196. USA

Before Operating
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop engine, set parking brake and
remove key from the switch. Any load material
must be removed from bed or other attachment
before working under raised bed. Always rotate
safety support to the down position before working
under raised bed.
Caution
Check Crankcase Oil
The engine is shipped with approximately 2 quarts
(w/ filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, level of oil must
be checked before and after the engine is first started.
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. Remove dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Insert
dipstick into tube and make sure it is seated fully.
Remove dipstick and check level of oil. If oil level is
low, remove filler cap and add enough oil to raise level
to FULL mark on dipstick.

Figure 10
1. Dipstick 2. Filler cap
3. The engine uses any high-quality detergent oil having
the American Petroleum Institute -API- “service
classification” SH, SJ or higher. Oil viscosity – weight –
is selected according to anticipated ambient
temperature.
Temperature/ viscosity recommendations are:
•Above 0F (–20C)–Use 10W–30 or 10W–40
•Below 32F (0C)–Use SAE 5W–20 or 5W–30.
4. Pour oil into fill opening until the oil level is up to the
“FULL” mark on the dipstick.
Note: When adding oil, remove dipstick to allow proper
venting, pour oil slowly and check the level often during
this process. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Important When adding engine oil or filling oil, there
must be clearance between the oil fill device and the oil fill
hole in the valve cover as shown in figure 11. This
clearance is necessary to permit venting when filling, which
prevents oil from overrunning into breather.
Figure 11
Important Check level of oil every 8 operating hours
or daily. Change oil and filter initially after the first 5 hours
of operation, thereafter, change oil and filter every 50
hours. However, change oil more frequently when engine is
operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
Note: After filling or changing oil, start and run the engine
at idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait 30 seconds and
check oil level. Add enough oil to raise level to FULL mark
on dipstick.
5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
Fill Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity is approximately 7 gallons.
The Toro Company Strongly Recommends The Use Of
Fresh, Clean, Unleaded Regular Grade Gasoline In
Toro Gasoline Powered Products. Unleaded Gasoline
Burns Cleaner, Extends Engine Life, And Promotes
Good Starting By Reducing The Build–up of
Combustion Chamber Deposits. Minimum Octane
Rating of 87.
Note: Never Use Methanol, Gasoline Containing
Methanol, Gasoline Containing More Than 10%
Ethanol, Gasoline Additives, or White Gas Because
Engine Fuel System Damage Could Result.
1. Clean area around fuel tank cap.

20
2. Remove fuel tank cap.
Danger
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can cause property damage.
•Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
•Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6
to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows the fuel to
expand.
•Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
•Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
3. Fill tank to about one inch below top of tank, (bottom of
filler neck). DO NOT OVERFILL. Then install cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a fire
hazard.
