General Information
Operator’s Manual
The Operator’s Manual provides information regarding
the operation, general maintenance and maintenance
intervals for your Workman vehicle. Refer to the Opera-
tor’s Manual for additional information when servicing
the vehicle.
Check Hydraulic Oil
The hydraulic system on your Workman is designed to
operate on Mobil M15 hydraulic oil. Check level of hy-
draulic fluid daily. See Operator’s Manual for fluid level
checking procedure and hydraulic oil recommendations.
IMPORTANT:Vehicles with standard hydraulics use
a different reservoir oil level than vehicles with high
flow hydraulics. To prevent hydraulic system prob-
lems with your Workman, make sure that the correct
hydraulic oil level is used.

Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure
Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hy-
draulic system, all pressure in the hydraulic system must
be relieved. Park vehicle on a level surface, stop engine
and engage parking brake.
System pressure in lift circuit is relieved when the cargo
bed is fully lowered. Hold the lever in the forward position
for one (1) or two (2) seconds after the bed contacts the
frame to ensure that system pressure is fully relieved.
To relieve hydraulic pressure in steering circuit, rotate
steering wheel in both directions.
If vehicle is equipped with the High Flow Hydraulics sys-
tem, move high flow hydraulics switch to the OFF posi-
tion to relieve hydraulic pressure in the high flow
hydraulic circuit.
After all hydraulic system pressures have been relieved,
remove key from ignition switch.
