Operation; Think Safety First; Operating The Cargo Bed - Toro Workman GTX Operator's Manual

Operation

Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
CAUTION
A raised bed full of material without the proper
safety support may lower unexpectedly.
Working under an unsupported raised bed
could injure you or others.
• Before servicing or making adjustments to
the machine, park the machine on a level
surface, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
• Remove any load material from the bed
or other attachment, and insert the safety
support on a fully-extended cylinder rod
before working under a raised bed.

Think Safety First

Carefully read all the safety instructions and symbols
in the safety section. Knowing this information could
help you or bystanders avoid injury.
DANGER
Operating on wet grass or slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury,
death, or drowning.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of
rollover:
• Do not operate near dropoffs or near water.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed
changes.

Operating the Cargo Bed

Raising the Cargo Bed to the
Dump Position
WARNING
A raised bed could fall and injure persons that
are working beneath it.
• Always use the prop rod to hold the bed up
before working under the bed.
• Remove any load material from the bed
before raising it.
WARNING
Driving the machine with the cargo bed raised
could cause the machine to tip or roll easier.
You could damage the structure of the cargo
bed if you operate the machine with the bed
raised.
• Operate the machine when the cargo bed
is down.
• After emptying the cargo bed, lower it.
CAUTION
If a load is concentrated near the back of the
cargo bed when you release the latches, the
bed may unexpectedly tip open, injuring you
or bystanders.
• Center loads in the cargo bed, if possible.
• Hold the cargo bed down and ensure that
no one is leaning over the bed or standing
behind it when releasing the latches.
• Remove all cargo from the bed before
lifting the bed up to service the machine.
