Do not downshift for braking on icy or slippery surfaces
(wet grass) or while going down a hill because engine
braking may cause skidding and loss of control. Shift to
a lower gear before starting down a hill.
The TORO Workman
is equipped with a roll bar, hip
restraints, shoulder restraints and hand hold. The
ROPS system used on the vehicle will reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury in the unlikely event of a tipover,
although the system cannot protect the operator from
all possible injuries.
Replace a damaged ROPS, do not repair or revise. Any
alteration of ROPS must be approved by manufacturer.
The best way to prevent accidents involving utility
vehicles is through continuous supervision and
training of operators and paying constant attention to
the area in which vehicle is being operated.
The best way for operators to prevent serious injury or
death to themselves or others, is to familiarize
themselves with the proper operation of the utility
vehicle, to stay alert and to avoid actions or conditions
which could result in a accident. In the event of a tip
over, the risk of serious injury or death will be reduced if
the operator is using the ROPS system and follows the
instructions provided.
