Safety Instructions
The Workman MD and MDX series vehicles are de-
signed 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 opera-
tion, transport, maintenance and storage of the ma-
chine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine can
result in injury or death.
Read and understand the contents of the Operator’s
Manual before starting and operating the machine. Be-
come familiar with all controls and know how to stop it
quickly. Additional copies of the Operator’s Manual are
available on the internet at www.Toro.com.
The safety alert symbol means
CAUTION, WARNING or DANGER —
“personal safety instruction”. Read
and understand the instruction because it has to
do with safety. Failure to comply with the instruc-
tion may result in personal injury.
WARNING
To reduce t he potential for injury or death, comply
with the following safety instructions.
WARNING
The Workman is an off--highway vehicle only. It is
not designed, equipped or manufactured for use
on public streets, roads or highways.
