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.

CHECK CRANKCASE OIL
4. Pour oil into the fill opening until the oil level is
up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Add the
oil slowly and check the level often during this
process. DO NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT: Check the level of oil every 8
operating hours or daily. Change the oil and
filter initially after the first 5 hours of operation, thereafter, change the oil and filter every
50 hours. However, change the oil more frequently when the engine is operated in
extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however, the level of oil must be checked before and
after the engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag.
Insert the dipstick into tube and make sure it is
seated fully. Remove the dipstick and check the
level of oil. If the oil level is low, remove the
filler cap and add enough oil to raise the level to
the FULL mark on the dipstick.

4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to pre-
vent a fire hazard.
CHECK THE TRANSAXLE /
HYDRA ULIC FLUID
DANGER
Because fuel is flammable, caution must be used
when storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel
tank while the engine is running, hot or when the
machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may build
up and be ignited by a spark or flame source many
feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel
tank to prevent the possibility of an explosion.
Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any
spilled fuel before starting the engine. Use a funnel
or spout to prevent spilling, and fill the tank no
higher than 2.5 cm (one inch) below top of the
tank, (bottom of the filler neck). DO NOT OVER
FILL.
Store fuel in a clean safety approved container and
keep the cap on the container. Keep fuel in a cool,
well-ventilated place; never in an enclosed area
such as a hot storage shed. To assure volatility, do
not buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline, or a
6-month supply of diesel fuel.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the dipstick.
3. Unscrew the dipstick from the top of the
transaxle and wipe it with a clean cloth.

Figure 3
1. Dipstick
4. Screw the dipstick into the transaxle and make
sure it is seated fully. Unscrew the dipstick and
check fluid level. Fluid should be up to the top
of flat portion of the dipstick. If the level is low,
add enough fluid to achieve the proper level.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid reservoir is shipped from the factory
filled with brake fluid. Check the level before the
engine is first started and every 8 hours or daily,
thereafter.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Fluid level should be up to the FULL line on
reservoir.
Since many children like the smell of gasoline,
keep it out of their reach because the fumes are
explosive and dangerous to inhale.
The transaxle reservoir is filled with Dexron II ATF.
Check the level before the engine is first started and

CHECK WHEEL NUT T ORQUE
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque could result in
failure or loss of wheel and may result in personal
injury. Torque front and rear wheel nuts to 61–88
Nm after 1–4 hours of operation and again after 10
hours of operation and every 200 hours thereafter.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Check tire pressure every 8 hours or daily.
Maximum air pressure in the front tires is 1,4 kg/cm
and 2,3 kg/cm2 in the rear (23”) tires tires. Optional
rear (24”) tire pressure is 18 psi maximum.
1. The air pressure needed is determined by the
payload carried.
2. The lower the air pressure, the less the compaction and tire marks are minimized. Lower
pressure should not be used for heavy payloads
at high speeds. Tire damage may result.
3. Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads at higher speeds.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure. Use the following charts to determine correct tire pressures for
tire size and payload of vehicle.

Operating
PRE-STARTING CHECKS
Safe operation begins before taking the vehicle out
for a day’s work. You should check these items each
time:
1. Check tire pressure.
Note: These tires are different than car tires,
they require less pressure to minimize
turf compaction and damage.
2. Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate
amount of Toro-specified fluids, if any are found
to be low.
3. Check brake pedal operation.
4. Check to see that the lights and horn are work-
ing.
5. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to
check steering response.
A. In extremely cold weather (below 18° C)—
fully depress and release the accelerator
pedal several times before trying to start the
engine.
B. If the engine is hot—depress and hold the
accelerator pedal about half way down while
cranking the engine.
C. If the engine is flooded—fully depress the
accelerator pedal and hold it to the floor until
the engine starts. Never pump the accelerator pedal.
5. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it
clockwise to start the engine. Release the key
when the engine starts.
IMPORTANT: To prevent overheating the
starter motor, do not engage the starter longer
than 10 seconds. After 10 seconds of continuous cranking, wait 60 seconds before engaging
the starter motor again.
6. Check for oil leaks, loose parts and any other
noticeable malfunctions. Make sure engine is off
and all moving parts have stopped before checking for oil leaks, loose parts and other malfunctions.
If any of the above items are not correct, notify your
mechanic or check with your supervisor before taking the vehicle out for the day. Your supervisor may
want you to check other items on a daily basis, so
ask what your responsibilities are.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1.Sit on the seat and engage the parking brake.
2. Disengage the PTO (Power Take Off—if so
equipped) and return the hand throttle lever to
the OFF position (if so equipped).
3. Move the shift lever to NEUTRAL and depress
the clutch pedal.
4. Keep your foot off the accelerator pedal.
DRIVING THE VEHICLE
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Fully depress the clutch pedal.
3. Move the gear shift lever to 1st gear.
4. Release the clutch pedal smoothly while depress-
ing the accelerator pedal.
5. When the vehicle gains enough speed, remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal, fully
depress the clutch pedal, move gear shift lever to
the next gear and release the clutch pedal while
depressing the accelerator pedal. Repeat this
procedure until desired speed is attained. Stop
the vehicle before shifting to reverse and forward.
Note: Avoid long periods of engine idling.
Note: Leaving the ignition switch in the “ON”
position for long periods of time without
running the engine will discharge the
17
Page 18
Operating
battery.
IMPORTANT: Do not keep the front wheels
turned against the right or left stops for
longer than 5 seconds. The hydraulic pump
may over heat, resulting in pump or steering
gear damage.
6. Do not push or tow the vehicle to get it started.
Damage to the drive train could result.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
To stop the machine, remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal, depress the clutch pedal, then
depress the brake pedal.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To stop the engine, turn the ignition key to OFF and
engage the parking brake. Remove the key from the
switch to prevent accidental starting.
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN
Your Workman®is ready for work. To provide top
performance and long vehicle life, follow these
guidelines for the first 100 operating hours.
•A break-in oil for the engine is not required. The
original engine oil is the same type specified for
regular oil changes.
•Refer to Maintenance section for any special low
hour checks.
CHECKING THE INTERLOCK
SYSTEM
CAUTION
The interlock switches are for the operator’s protection, so do not bypass them. Check operation of the
switches daily to assure the system is operating. If a
switch is malfunctioning replace it before operating. Regardless of whether switches are operating
properly, replace them every two years to assure
maximum safety. Also, do not rely entirely on safety switches—use common sense!
The interlock system prevents the engine from
cranking or starting unless the clutch pedal is
depressed or PTO (if so equipped) is disengaged.
To verify PTO interlock switch operation:
1. Sit on operator’s seat and engage the parking
brake. Move the shift lever to NEUTRAL.
•Check the fluid and engine oil levels regularly
and be alert for indications of overheating in any
part of the vehicle.
•After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for
about 15 seconds before shifting into gear.
•Avoid racing the engine.
•Avoid situations requiring hard stops, especially
when hauling heavy loads or pulling a trailer. It
is necessary to fully break-in a new set of brake
linings to achieve full braking performance.
Follow this guideline whenever new linings are
installed.
•Vary vehicle speeds during operation. Avoid
excessive idling. Avoid fast starts and quick
stops.
18
2. Engage the PTO.
3. Depress the clutch pedal and turn the key clock-
wise to the start position.
4. If the engine cranks or starts, there is a malfunc-
tion in the interlock system that must be repaired
before operating the vehicle.
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
The vehicle is designed with safety in mind. It has
four wheels for added stability. It uses familiar automotive style controls, including the steering wheel,
brake pedal, clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and gear
shifter. It is important to remember, however, that
this vehicle is not a passenger car. It is a work vehi-
Page 19
Operating
cle and not designed for use on roadways.
The vehicle has special tires, low-gear ratios, a locking differential, and other features that give it extra
traction. These features add to the versatility of the
vehicle but they can also get you into dangerous situations. You must remember that the vehicle is not a
recreation vehicle or an all-terrain vehicle. And it is
definitely not meant for “stunt driving”. It is a work
vehicle, not a play vehicle. Do not allow children
should to operate the vehicle. Anyone who operates
the vehicle should have a motor vehicle license.
If you are not experienced at driving the vehicle,
practice driving it in a safe area away from other
people. Be sure you are familiar with all the vehicle’s controls, particularly those used for braking,
steering and transmission shifting. Learn how your
vehicle handles on different surfaces. Your operating
skills will improve with experience, but as in operating any vehicle, take it easy as you begin. Be sure
you know how to stop quickly in an emergency. If
you need help, ask your supervisor for assistance.
Avoid driving when it is dark, especially in unfamiliar areas. If you must drive when it is dark, be sure
to drive cautiously, use the head lights, and even
consider adding additional lights.
PASSENGERS
Whenever you have a passenger riding in the vehicle
make sure he or she is holding on securely. Drive
slower and turn less sharply because your passenger
does not know what you intend to do next and may
not be prepared for turning, stopping, accelerating,
and bumps.
You and your passenger should remain seated at all
times, keeping arms and legs inside the vehicle. The
operator should keep both hands on steering wheel,
whenever possible and passenger should use the
hand holds provided.
There should never be passengers in the dump box
or on any attachments. The vehicle is meant to have
one driver and only one passenger-no more.
Many factors contribute to accidents. You have control over several of the most important. Your actions,
such as driving too fast for conditions, braking too
fast, turning too sharp, and combinations of these,
are frequent causes of accidents.
One of the major causes of accidents is fatigue. Be
sure to take occasional breaks. It is important that
you stay alert at all times.
Never operate the vehicle, or any equipment, if you
are under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
Even prescription drugs and cold medicines can
cause drowsiness. Read the label on the medicine or
check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are
unsure about a certain medication.
One of the most important rules to follow is to go
slower in unfamiliar areas. It is surprising how
much damage and injury common things can cause.
Tree branches, fences, wires, other vehicles, tree
stumps, ditches, sand traps, streams, and other things
found in most parks and golf courses can be hazardous to the operator and passenger.
SPEED
Speed is one of the most important variables leading
to accidents. Driving too fast for the conditions can
cause you to lose control and have an accident.
Speed can also make a minor accident worse.
Driving head-on into a tree at slow speed can cause
injury and damage, but, driving into a tree at high
speed can destroy the vehicle and kill you and your
passenger.
Never drive too fast for the conditions. If there is
any doubt about how fast to drive, slow down.
When using heavy attachments (more than 500 kg),
such as sprayers, top dressers, or spreaders, etc.,
operating speeds should be restricted by moving 3rd
high lockout switch to slow position.
TURNING
Turning is another important variable leading to
accidents. Turning too sharply for the conditions can
19
Page 20
Operating
cause the vehicle to lose traction and skid, or even
tip over.
Wet, sandy and slippery surfaces make turning more
difficult and risky. The faster you are going, the
worse this situation becomes so, slow down before
turning.
During a sharp turn at higher speeds, the inside rear
wheel may lift off of the ground. This is not a flaw
in the design, it happens with most four wheel vehicles including passenger cars. If this happens, you
are turning too sharply for the speed at which you are
traveling. Slow down!
BRAKING
It is good practice to slow down before you get near
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.
engine braking may cause skidding and loss of control. Shift to a lower gear before starting down a hill.
TIPO VERS
WARNING
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious personal injury.
•If the engine stalls or you lose headway on a
hill, never attempt to turn the vehicle around.
•Always back straight down a hill in reverse
gear.
•Never back down in neutral or with the clutch
depressed, using only the brakes.
•Never drive across a steep hill, always drive
straight up or down.
•Avoid turning on a hill
•Don’t “drop the clutch” or slam on the brakes.
Sudden speed change can initiate tipover.
Gross vehicle weight has a major impact on your
ability to stop and/or turn. Heavier loads and heavier
attachments make a vehicle harder to stop or turn.
The heavier the load, the longer it takes to stop.
The braking characteristics also change with no bed
or attachment on the vehicle. Fast stops may cause
the rear wheels to lock up before the front wheels
lock up, which may affect the control of the vehicle.
It is a good idea to decrease vehicle speed with no
bed or attachment.
Turf and pavement are much slipperier 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 in first gear while putting light
pressure on the brake pedal. This will dry the
brakes.
Do not downshift for braking on icy or slippery surfaces (wet grass) or while going down a hill because
The TORO WORKMAN®is equipped with a roll
bar, hip restraints, shoulder restraints and hand hold.
The Roll Over Protection 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 Roll Over Protection System; do
not repair or revise. Any alteration of Roll Over
Protection System 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 Roll-Over
Protection System and follows the instructions pro-

Page 21
vided.
In case of tipover
Don’t jump
Operator: Hold tight and brace feet.
Operating
Tipover can occur if the truck is impr operly operated. Injury or death could
result.
HILLS
Use extra care when on hills. Never go on hills that
are extremely steep. Stopping while going down a
hill will take longer than on level ground. Turning
while going up or down a hill is more dangerous
than turning on the level. Turns while going down
hill, especially with the brakes on, and, turning up
hill while traversing a hill are particularly dangerous.
Even at a slow speed and without a load, tip overs
are more likely if you turn on a hill.
Passenger: Hold hip restraint and
hand hold, brace feet
Lean away
Slow down and shift into a lower gear before starting
up or down a hill. If you have to turn while on a hill,
do it as slowly and cautiously as possible. Never
make sharp or fast turns on a hill.
If you stall or begin to lose headway while climbing
a steep hill, quickly apply the brakes, shift to neutral,
restart the engine and shift to reverse. At idle speed,
engine and transaxle drag will aid the brakes in controlling the vehicle on the hill and help you back
down the hill more safely.
Reduce the weight of the load if it is a steep hill or if
the load has high center of gravity. Remember, loads
can shift. Secure them.

ability. The differential lock will increase
this ability. Hill climbing traction can also
be increased by adding weight to the rear of
the vehicle in one of the following ways:
have excellent hill climbing
•Adding weight to inside of box, making
21
Page 22
Operating
sure it is secured.
•Mounting wheel weights to rear wheels.
•Adding liquid ballast (calcium chloride)
to rear tires.
•Traction will increase with no passenger
in front seat.
LO ADING AND DUMPING
WARNING
The bed will lower whenever the dump lever is
pushed down, even when the engine is off. Turning
off the engine will NOT prevent the box from lowering. Always place the safety support on extended
lift cylinder to hold box up if you are not going to
lower it right away.
WARNING
When lowering the box it is possible for you or
others to get their hands or other body parts in the
wrong spot and have them crushed. Take extra care
that no one will get hurt. Also, do not dump on
anyone’s feet. It may seem funny but, it can be dangerous.
The weight and position of the cargo and passenger
can change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle
handling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal injury, follow these guidelines.
Do not carry loads which exceed the load limits
described on the vehicle weight label.
as bricks, fertilizer or landscape timbers, stack higher
in the box.
The height and weight of the load has a significant
influence on tip overs. The higher a load is stacked,
the more likely the vehicle is to tip over. You may
find that 900 kg stacks too high for safe operation.
Reducing the total weight is one way to reduce the
risk of a tip over. Distributing the load as low as
possible is another way to reduce the risk of a tip
over.
If the load is positioned toward one of the sides, it
will make the vehicle much more likely to tip over
on that side. This is especially true when turning if
the load is on the outside of the turn.
Never position heavy loads behind the rear axle. If
the load is positioned so far to the rear that it is
behind the rear axle, it will reduce the weight on the
front wheels and this will reduce steering traction.
With the load all the way to the back, the front
wheels can even come off of the ground when going
over bumps or up a hill. This will result in a loss of
steering and may lead to the vehicle tipping over.
As a general rule, position the weight of the load
evenly from front to rear and evenly from side to
side.
If a load is not secured, or you are transporting a liquid in a large container such as a sprayer, it 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 lead to tip overs. Always secure loads so that
they do not shift. Never dump the load while the
vehicle is sideways on the hill.
Heavy loads increase stopping distance and reduce
your ability to turn quickly without tipping over.
The vehicle has several combinations of boxes, platforms, and attachments available. These can be used
in various combinations that allow for maximum
capacity and versatility. The full-sized box is 1.4m
wide by 1.64 m long and can hold up to 900 kg of
evenly distributed cargo.
Loads vary in how they are distributed. Sand
spreads out evenly and quite low. Other items, such
22

purposes only, not for passengers.
USING THE DIFFERENTIAL
LOCK
The differential lock increases the vehicle’s traction
by locking the rear wheels so one wheel will not spin

Operating
out. This can help when you have heavy loads to
haul on wet turf or slippery areas, going up hills and
on sandy surfaces.
It is important to remember however, that this extra
traction is only for temporary limited use. Its use
does not replace the safe operation, already discussed
concerning steep hills and heavy loads.
The differential lock causes the rear wheels to spin at
the same speed. When using differential lock your
ability to make sharp turns is somewhat restricted
and may scuff the turf. Use the differential lock only
when needed, at slower speeds and only in first or
second gear.
WARNING
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious injury.
In case of emergency, the vehicle can be towed for a
short distance. However, Toro does not recommend
this as a standard procedure.
Towing the vehicle is a two-person job. Affix a tow
line to the holes in the front frame member. Move
the shifter to Neutral and release the parking brake.
If the machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
Note: The power steering will not function, mak-
ing it difficult (increase effort) to steer.
➀
•The extra traction available with the differential lock can be enough to get you into dangerous situations such as climbing slopes that are
too steep to turn around. Be extra careful when
operating with the differential lock on, especially on steeper slopes.
•If the differential lock is on when making a
sharp turn at a higher speed and inside rear
wheel lifts off the ground, there may be a loss
of control which could cause the vehicle to
skid (Refer to Differential Lock Operation).
Use the differential lock only at slower speeds.
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
For moving the vehicle long distances, a trailer
should be used. Make sure the vehicle is secured to
the trailer.

kg. Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo
weight in the front of the trailer. This places approximately 10% (90 kg max.) of the Gross Trailer
Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of the vehicle.
When towing either standard tongue or 5th wheel
trailers having a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) in
excess of 900 kg, use either a chassis mounted draw
bar hitch (rated for 1590 kg. GTW) or the 5th wheel
kit with the brakes. Trailer brakes are required
whenever a trailer over 900 kg. GTW is towed
behind a Workman vehicle.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer (attachment),
do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading
can cause poor performance or damage to the brakes,
axle, engine, transaxle, steering, suspension, body
structure or tires.
Important: To reduce potential for drive line
damage, use low range.
When towing 5th wheel attachments, like a fairway
aerator, always install the bar included with the 5th
wheel kit to prevent the front wheels from lifting off
the ground if the towed attachments movement is
suddenly impaired.

The vehicle has (33) grease fittings that must be
lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose
Lithium Base Grease. If the machine is operated
under normal conditions, lubricate all bearings and
bushings after every 100 hours of operation. More
frequent lubrication is required if used for heavy
duty vehicle operations.
The grease fitting locations and quantities are: Tie
rod ends (4) (Fig. 11), Front ball joints (4) (Fig. 11),
Rear drive shafts (6) (Fig. 12), Steering shaft (1)
(Fig. 13), Front pivot bushings (2) (Fig. 14) and
