Safety Instructions

The Workman MD and MDX series vehicles are 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, transport, maintenance 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. Be­come 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.

Supervisor’s Responsibilities

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 instruc­tion may result in personal injury.
WARNING
To reduce the 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.
1. Make sure operators are thoroughly trained and fa­miliar with the Operator’s Manual and all labels on the vehicle.

Before Operating

1. Read and understand the contents of the Operator’s Manual and Operator’s DVD before starting and operat­ing the vehicle. Become familiar with the controls and know how to stop the vehicle and engine quickly. Addi­tional copies of the Operator’s Manual are available on the internet at www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place. If a shield, safety device or decal is defective, illegible or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the ve­hicle. Also, tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to en­sure vehicle is in safe operating condition.
2. Be sure to establish your own special procedures and work rules for unusual operating conditions (e.g. slopes too steep for vehicle operation).
3. Since fuel used in Workman vehicles is highly flam­mable, handle it carefully:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
B. Do not remove vehicle fuel tank cap while engine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and only to within an inch of the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
E. Clean up any spilled fuel.
Workman MD/MDXPage 1 -- 2Safety

While Operating

1. Sit on the operator seat when starting and operating the vehicle.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Sit on operator’s seat and apply the parking brake.
B. Turn ignition key to ON.
C. Depress accelerator pedal to startengine and en­gage drive system.
3. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade­quate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could possibly be deadly.

Torque Specifications

Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the following tables. For critical applications, as determined by Toro, either the recommended torque or a torque that is unique to the application is clearly identified and spe­cified in this Service Manual.
These Torque Specifications for the installation and tightening of fasteners s hall apply to all fasteners which do not have a specific requirement identified in this Ser­vice Manual. The following factors shall be considered when applying torque: cleanliness of the fastener, use of a thread sealant (e.g. Loctite), degree of lubrication on the fastener, presence of a prevailing torque feature, hardness of the surface underneath the fastener’s head or similar condition which affects the installation.

Fastener Identification

As noted in the following tables, torque values should be reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve the similar stress as a dry fastener. Torque values may also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded into aluminum or brass. The specific torque value should be determined based on the aluminum or brass material strength, fastener size, length of thread en­gagement, etc.
The standard method of verifying torque shall be per­formed by marking a line on the fastener (head or nut) and mating part, then back off fastener 1/4 of a turn. Measure the torque required to tighten the fastener until the lines match up.

Adjustments

Adjust Throttle Cable

NOTE: The Workman MDX is equipped with an engine
governor. Refer to the Briggs & Stratton Repair Manual at the end of this chapter for governor information on these machines.
Depressing the accelerator pedal rotates the engine governor bellcrank which tensions the main governor spring to increase engine speed. Releasing the acceler­ator pedal decreases governor spring tension to reduce engine speed.
1. Park machine on a level surface, stop engine, en­gage parking brake and remove key from the ignition switch.
2. Lift cargo box and prop with rod to gain access to the engine.
3. When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed the engine governor bellcrank mechanism should have a gap from 0.030” to 0.080” (0.8 to 2.0 mm) (Fig. 2). If nec­essary, adjust jam nuts on accelerator cable so that gap is correct.
