This manual should be regarded as part of the machine, as it gives essential
information regarding machine safety, operation, maintenance and specications.
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE T4240 MOWER, IT IS
ESSENTIAL THAT OPERATORS STUDY IT FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY.
THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN TO HELP PREVENT
ACCIDENTS. A CAREFUL OPERATOR WHO USES COMMON SENSE IS THE
SAFEST OPERATOR.
Training
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Learn how
to stop the mower quickly in an emergency.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
Do not carry passengers.
All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasise:
The need for care and concentration when working with this machine.
The need to slow down when making tight turning manoeuvres. Failure to take adequate care can affect
stability leading to loss of control of the machine particularly when operating in transport mode.
Control of a ride-on-machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by application of the parking brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are:
- Insufcient wheel grip.
- Being driven too fast.
- Inadequate braking.
- The type of machine is unsuitable for the task.
- Lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes.
- Incorrect load distribution.

Before attempting to start the engine, engage the parking brake, disengage the cutterhead drive system and
ensure that the forward/reverse speed controls are in the neutral position.
Never operate the machine without rst checking that the operator platform latching mechanism is fully
engaged and in good working order, refer to OPERATOR PLATFORM LATCHING MECHANISM.
Stored energy devices are charged when the outer wing units are in transport position. Always operate the
relevant lift controls to provide hydraulic support for the wing units suspensions before attempting to release
the transport latches.
Slopes
Do not use on a slope of more than 16 degrees. Care should be taken when using the mower on any slope
where ground conditions are such that there may be a risk of the mower rolling over. The requirements of
89/355/EEC, as amended by 95/63/EEC ‘Provision and Use of Work Equipment Directive’ should be
considered.
Stability angles given are maximum gures for a machine equipped with a R.O.P.S and are for guidance only.
Particular conditions such as wet grass or uneven ground may not permit safe operation on the slope limits
stated.
Remember there is no such thing as a ‘safe’ slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard
against overturning or loss of traction when travelling or mowing on a slope:
- Exercise extreme care when changing direction on a slope.
- Do not stop or start suddenly.
- Engage drive slowly.
- Keep machine speed low.
- Avoid tight turns.
- Stay alert for humps, hollows and other hidden hazards.
- Keep away from sharp inclines and steep drops.
- A thorough risk assessment should be carried out by a competent
person before travelling or mowing on a slope.
Never park on a slope.
