Safety Instructions
Workman MDX--D vehicles are designed and tested to
offer safe service when operated and maintained pro-
perly. Although hazard control and accident prevention
partially are dependent upon the design and configura-
tion of the machine, these factors are also dependent
upon the awareness, concern and proper training of the
personnel involved in the operation, transport, mainte-
nance and storage of the machine. 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.
