1.6
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 brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are:
- Insufficient 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.
PREPARATION
Check that the machine complies with all applicable regulations, including those in force when used on
the public highway.
While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when
barefoot or wearing open sandals. Eye protection should be worn.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects which can be
thrown by the machine.
Never operate the machine without first checking that the operator platform latching mechanism is fully
engaged and in good working order, refer - ‘OPERATOR PLATFORM LATCHING MECHANISM’.
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE REELMASTER® 4240-D, 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PREPARATION Continued.
Ensure that the cutterheads are fully raised with the latches and safety locks engaged in position before
transporting the mower.
Replace faulty silencers.
Check the condition of the tyres and ensure that they are inflated to the correct pressures, refer -
SPECIFICATIONS.
This is particularly important if the machine is to be taken on the public highway.
Check that the mower is in good working order, paying particular attention to the brakes and steering.
Also ensure that the forward/reverse speed control pedals move freely to neutral when released.
Before use, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutting cylinders are not worn
or damaged. Replace worn or damaged components.
Check the mower hydraulic system, particularly the hydraulic hoses, fittings and hose supports. Worn,
crushed or damaged hoses can burst, with risks to health and damage to the machine and surrounding
turf areas.
After refuelling and adding oil to the hydraulic oil tank ensure that the caps are replaced securely.
Check that all linkages, connections and pivot nuts are secure and that wheel nuts are torqued correctly,
refer - SPECIFICATIONS.
Before operating the machine, ensure that there are no foreign objects or liquids on the platform or pedals - ALWAYS KEEP THE OPERATOR PLATFORM CLEAR/CLEAN.
OPERATION
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
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 first checking that the operator platform latching mechanism is fully
engaged and in good working order, refer - OPERATOR PLATFORM LATCHING MECHANISM.
Stored energy devices are charged when the outer wing units are in the transport position. Always operate the relevant lift controls to provide hydraulic support for the wing units suspensions before attempting to release the transport latches.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
OPERATION Continued.
Do not use on a slope of more than 19 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 SI 1998 No. 2306 “Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations” should be considered.
R.O.P.S (Roll Over Protective Structures) are available, refer to INTRODUCTION - Optional Extras.
Stability angles given are maximum figures 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.

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
by persons who are familiar with its particular characteristics and who are acquainted with the relevant safety procedures.
The safety precautions listed herein and all other generally recognised regulations on safety and all road traffic regulations must be observed at all times.
Any arbitrary modifications carried out to this machine may relieve The Toro Company of liability for any resulting
damage or injury.
In the pursuit of continuous product development The Toro Company reserves the right to alter specifications without notice.
Cutterhead Variants: The Toro Reelmaster® 4240-D can be fitted with a range of cutterhead configurations
and optional extras:
Optional Extras:
Beacon Kit - Amber flashing warning light.
Lighting Kit - Complies with EC traffic regulations.
R.O.P.S ( Roll Over Protective Structure ) 2 post design.
Cab R.O.P.S. - Full weather protection and roll - over protection.
We recommend the fitting of a Hayter approved R.O.P.S only, to increase operator safety in the event of
a machine rolling over.
Note: with a R.O.P.S. fitted stability angle is decreased to 14 degrees, due to the higher centre of gravity
of the machine

OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROLS
Cutting Cylinder Drive Lockout: Drive to the cutting cylinders is only possible when the operator is
seated. If the operator raises off the seat for a period of more than one second, a switch is activated and
drive to the cutting cylinders is automatically disengaged. To re-engage drive to the cutting cylinders, the
operator must return to the seat, then operate the cutterhead drive switch to the ‘OFF’ position before
moving it back to the ‘ON’ position. If the operator rises off the seat for a brief moment during normal
work, drive to the cutting cylinders is not affected.
The engine can only be started with the cutterhead drive switch in the ‘OFF’ position.
Engine Start Lockout: The engine can only be started when the forward/reverse travel pedal is released
to the 'NEUTRAL' position, the cutterhead drive switch is in the ‘OFF’ position and the parking brake is
engaged. When these circumstances are satisfied, switches are activated permitting the engine to be started.
Engine Run Interlock: Once the engine is started the operator must be seated before the parking brake is
released for the engine to continue to run.
Note: The engine will cut out if the operator leaves the seat.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Do not operate the Reelmaster® mower if the operator
presence controls are defective in any way. ALWAYS replace faulty parts and check that they
function correctly before operating the mower.
SAFETY NOTICE
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Before operating the mower it is essential that;
- The operator reads and understands this manual.
- The operator platform latching mechanism is fully engaged and in good working order, refer - ‘OPERATOR PLATFORM LATCHING MECHANISM’.
- The daily maintenance checks have been properly carried out and the turf
mower is in good working order.
- The operator should wear safety clothing and eye protection. Failure to do so
could result in risk to health and safety.
- The area where the equipment is to be used is inspected and all objects which
may be thrown by the machine are removed.
Operate safely on slopes;
It is essential to follow safe working practices when working on slopes. In
order to avoid potentially hazardous situations, it is essential that the operator
understands and observes the relevant safety precautions listed in this manual,
refer - ‘SAFETY PRECAUTIONS’.

BRAKING SYSTEM
Parking Brake : Move the parking brake lever to its rear position to engage
the parking brake. Do not operate the mower with the parking brake engaged.
WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The parking brake operates on the
front wheels only. Do not park the mower on a slope.
Service brakes : Service braking is achieved by the hydraulic transmission system. When the forward
or reverse travel pedals are released or the engine speed reduced, service braking becomes effective and
travel speed is automatically reduced. To increase the braking effect, push the transmission pedals into
the neutral position.
WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The service braking system will not hold the mower at a
standstill. ALWAYS ensure the parking brake is engaged to park the mower at a standstill.
Emergency Braking : In the event of service brake failure, switch off the
ignition to bring the mower to a standstill.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Take care when operating the braking system. Remain seated and hold on to the steering wheel to prevent ejection from the mower
caused by the front wheel brakes being applied suddenly when travelling.
THROTTLE CONTROL
Operate the throttle control in a forward direction to increase engine speed.
Operate the throttle control in a rearward direction to reduce engine speed.
Note that the engine speed dictates the speed of the other functions, i.e. travel,
cutting cylinder, position controls.
TRAVEL
Forward travel: Depress the forward travel pedal to increase forward travel
speed. Release the pedal to reduce speed.
Reverse travel: Depress the reverse travel pedal to increase reverse travel
speed. Release the pedal to reduce speed.
Stop (Neutral): Release the forward and reverse travel pedals.
