INTRODUCTION

The Toro Reelmaster® 4240-D is a diesel engine powered self propelled machine with hydraulic systems for
ground drive, cutterhead drive, cutterhead lift and steering. The machine operates in four wheel drive at all times,
however, the transmission system can be operated in both 'work' and 'transport' modes. These modes can be
selected by the operator. In order to optimise machine performance and reduce transmission system wear it is
advisable to operate the machine in the appropriate mode. 'Work' signifies cutting operations and 'Transport'
signifies travelling between work sites. A differential lock function may be selected.
The Toro Reelmaster® 4240-D is a precision built machine designed solely for cutting grass and similar low lying
ground vegetation within the limitations stated in this manual. Use in any other way is considered as contrary
to the intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to the conditions of operation, service and repair as
specified in this Operators Manual also constitute essential elements of the intended use. The way in which this
machine is operated and maintained will have a profound effect on its performance and reliability.
This manual contains advice on the Toro Reelmaster® 4240-D which should be operated, serviced and repaired only

cedures.
