Mowing In Reverse; Using The Side Discharge - Toro TimeCutter SW 4200 Operator's Manual

4. To slow down, release the pressure on the
traction-control pedal.

Mowing in Reverse

The machine has an interlock feature that prevents
the mower deck from mowing while the machine is
traveling in reverse. If you shift into reverse with the
PTO engaged, the PTO stops. If you need to mow
while in reverse gear, you can temporarily deactivate
this interlock.
Note:
Do not mow while backing up unless it is
necessary.
DANGER
A child or bystander could be backed over
by a riding mower with blades engaged and
cause serious personal injury or death.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary.
• Always look backward and down before
backing up.
• Use the Key Choice switch only if you are
certain no children or other bystanders will
appear in the mowing area.
• Always remove both the ignition and
Key Choice keys and put them in a safe
place out of the reach of children or
unauthorized users when leaving the
machine unattended.
If you are certain that you can safely mow or operate
an attachment in reverse, complete the following
procedure:
1. Insert the Key Choice key into the Key Choice
switch (Figure 7).
2. Engage the PTO.
3. Turn the Key Choice key clockwise until it stops
and release it.
Note:
A red light illuminating on the console
indicates that the interlock has been deactivated.
4. Perform the mowing.
5. When finished mowing, remove the Key Choice
key (Figure 7).
Note:
Once you deactivate the interlock, it
stays in this mode—with your mower blade or
PTO powered attachment operating whenever
you back up—and the console light stays on
until you either disengage the PTO or shut off
the engine.

Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward the
turf.
DANGER
Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or
a complete grass-catcher assembly mounted
in place, you and others are exposed to blade
contact and thrown debris. Contact with
rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris
will cause injury or death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from the
mower deck because the grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf. If the
grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the
mower deck.
• Never try to clear the discharge area
or mower blades unless you move the
blade-control switch (PTO) to the O
position, rotate the key switch to the O
position, and remove the key from the key
switch.
• Make sure that the grass deflector is in the
down position.
