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
OPERATIONContinued.
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

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.

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;

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.

is engaged. Prevent excessive power requirements by operating with
differential lock at SLOW speed.
Engaging differential lock: Depress the differential lock pedal.
Disengaging differential lock: Release the differential lock pedal.
TRAVEL CONTROL PEDALS
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Ensure that the transmission control cable is securely fastened to the travel control
pedal mechanism. Ensure that both the cable and pedals articulate freely through their full range of travel and that the
mechanism freely returns to neutral when released.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Ensure that the control cable is correctly routed underneath the operator platform
such that it is clear of any obstructions and impediments to its
operation.
This is of particular importance after the platform has been
opened and subsequently closed following inspection maintenance operations.
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.

CUTTERHEAD DRIVE ENGAGEMENT
The cutterhead drive can be engaged only when the operator is
seated correctly, refer - OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROLS.
Briefly operate the lift control levers to raise the cutterheads,
thereby removing the cutterhead suspension deadweights and wing
units stored energy reaction from the transport latch mechanisms.
Release the cutterhead latches. Operate the cutterhead position
controls to the down / float position and lower all cutterheads to
the ground ready for mowing.
Forward rotation cutterhead drive engagement : Operate the
cutterhead drive switch to the 'Forward' position.
Reverse rotation cutterhead drive engagement : Operate the
cutterhead drive switch to the 'Reverse' position.
To disengage all cutterhead drives : Operate the cutterhead drive
switch to the 'Off' position.
A variable hydraulic weight transfer system is provided for improving tyre grip with the grass surface -
‘Traction Assistance’.
Hydraulic pressure in the cutterhead lift system provides a lifting force which reduces cutterhead weight
on the ground and transfers the weight as a downward force onto the mower’s tyres. This action is
known as ‘Weight Transfer’.
To engage weight transfer: The amount of weight transfer can be varied to suit operating conditions by
rotating the weight transfer hand wheel as follows;
Release the lock wheel underneath the hand wheel 1/2 turn anti-clockwise and hold.
Rotate the hand wheel:- Anti-clockwise to reduce weight transfer.
- Clockwise to increase weight transfer.
Tighten the lock wheel.

GENERAL OPERATING HINTS
The rotational speed of the cutting cylinders should always be kept as high as possible in order to
maintain the highest quality of cut. This in turn requires that the engine speed be kept as high as
possible.
The quality of cut will deteriorate if the forward speed is excessive. Always balance the quality of cut
with the workrate required and set the forward speed accordingly.
Never let the engine labour. Reduce the forward speed or increase the height of cut. Check that the
cutting cylinders are not in heavy contact with their bottom blades.
Regularly check the cutting cylinder to bottom blade adjustment every few hours even though cutting
performance appears to be satisfactory. Heavy contact or excessive clearances between the cylinder and
bottom blades will cause rapid wear to take place.
Always disengage the cutterhead drive when travelling across ungrassed areas. Grass will lubricate the
cutting edges whilst mowing. Excessive heat will build up if the cutting cylinders are run when not
mowing and this will cause rapid wear to take place. For this reason it is also wise to reduce cutting
cylinder speed when mowing lightly grassed areas or when the grass is dry.
Cutting performance is best when cutting against the lie of the grass. In order to take advantage of this
fact, the operator should attempt to alternate the direction of mowing between cuts.
Take care not to leave uncut strips of grass at the overlap points between adjacent cutterheads, by
avoiding tight turns.
It is generally wise to remove rear roller scrapers where conditions allow, as optimum grass discharge is
achieved without them. Scrapers should be refitted when conditions are such that mud and grass start to
build up on the rollers. When refitting the scraper wires, care must be taken to ensure that they are correctly tensioned, refer - MAINTENANCE - EVERY 50 HOURS.
WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS -Take care when travelling over obstacles such as roadside
kerbs. ALWAYS travel at slow speed over obstacles to prevent damage to the machines tyres,
wheels and steering system. Ensure that tyres are inflated to the recommended pressures.

UNBLOCKING CUTTING CYLINDERS
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Before attempting to clear any blockage from the cutting
cylinders on this machines ensure all of the following:
- Stop the machine on level ground.
- Apply the parking brake and disengage all drives.
- Lower the cutting units to the ground or securely lock in the designated transport positions.
- Stop the engine and remove the ignition key to isolate all power sources and check that they
are stopped.
- Release all stored energy devices.
- Check that all moving parts are stationary.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO ROTATE THE CUTTING CYLINDERS BY HAND as there may be some
residual pressure in the hydraulic system which could cause injury through sudden movement of the cylinder(s) when the blockage is released.
Always wear protective gloves and use a suitable strong wooden instrument. Ensure that this will fit between
the blades and through the cylinder and is long enough to provide sufficient leverage to release the blockage and any residual hydraulic system pressure by rotating or rocking the cylinder. Make sure that the wooden instrument is properly supported in the cylinder and avoid the use of excessive force to prevent damage.
Only when the cylinder has a degree of free movement should the source of the blockage be removed.
Ensure that the wooden instrument is also removed before restarting the power source.
If the cylinder requires readjustment or repair, refer - MAINTENANCE - Cutterheads.
With all cutterheads set at the same HOC via the indicator rings, it may be noticeable that the centre unit
produces a higher cut finish compared to the wing units. The centre unit is pulled and the wing units are
pushed this presents marginally different cutting angles relative to the ground. The amount of HOC variation, which results from this will be influenced by the terrain but satisfactory results can usually be
achieved by setting the centre cutterhead HOC indicator ring lower than the wing unit settings.

CUTTERHEAD GENERAL INFORMATION
The mower is designed to be used with MK3 200mm fixed or floating cutterheads or MK3 254mm
fixed cutterheads.
It is essential that the relationship between the bottom blades and the cutting cylinders are kept in good
adjustment and that cutting edges are kept sharp to ensure good cutting performance, minimum power
consumption and prolonged life for the cutting edges, refer - MAINTENANCE - Cutterheads.
Fixed MK3 200mm/254mm Cutterheads: When the mower
is set up with fixed cutterheads the height of cut is gauged by
the rear roller and the cutterhead is allowed to pivot laterally to
follow ground contours. This arrangement is normally
recommended for general mowing requirements.
(MK3 200mm Cutterhead illustrated).
Floating MK3 200mm Cutterheads: When the mower is set
up with floating cutterheads the height of cut is gauged by the
front and rear rollers. The cutterhead is allowed to pivot fore
and aft as well as laterally. This arrangement is recommended
for high quality grass areas and performs well where grass is
short and the ground undulations are severe.
Grass deflectors: The rear grass deflectors must always be
correctly fitted. The deflectors should be set as low as possible
to deflect grass discharge to the ground.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Always ensure
that the grass deflectors are angled below horizontal level,
otherwise risks to health and safety may result.
Height of cut gauge: An optional height of cut gauge is
available to assist in achieving accurate cut height settings. It
is suitable for both fixed and floating cutterheads.

CUTTERHEAD CYLINDER TO BOTTOM BLADE ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT : PREVENT DAMAGE - It is essential that the
relationship between the bottom blades and the cutting cylinders is
kept in good adjustment in order to ensure good cutting performance,
minimum power consumption and prolonged life for the cutting
edges.
Carry out the following procedure before commencing work and re-check
the settings every few hours.
Check that the cutting cylinder is correctly set to the bottom blade by
holding a thin piece of paper between the cutting cylinder and the bottom
blade as shown. Carefully rotate the cylinder as shown and check that the
paper is cut cleanly at all points along the length of the blade. Hold the
paper at 90 degrees (right angles) to the bottom blade to obtain the correct
cutting action.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Ensure that people are clear
of the cutting cylinders as rotation of one may cause others to rotate.
If adjustment is necessary proceed as follows;
Release nut 'A' 1/4 turn both ends.
Turn handwheel 'B' each end alternately whilst rotating the cutting
cylinder backwards until the bottom blade is in 'fleeting' contact with the
cylinder along its entire length. Re-check the cutting action along the
length of the bottom blade using a thin piece of paper making marginal
adjustments as necessary.
Tighten nut 'A' both ends.
If it is impossible to obtain a good clean paper cut across the entire length of the bottom blade it will
be necessary to carry out the backlapping procedure to reprocess the cutting edges. In severe cases it
will be necessary to regrind the cutting cylinder and the bottom blade, refer - BACKLAPPING /
GRINDING.
Do not be tempted to over-adjust causing heavy contact between the cylinder and bottom blade as this
will cause very rapid uneven wear to take place, leading to tramlining and waviness of the cutting
edges. The frictional losses will be high and a significant amount of power will be absorbed thus reducing the power available for cutting. The heating effect due to friction will cause excessive expansion
to take place which will further aggravate the situation by increasing the contact pressure.
If the cutterheads are allowed to operate for more than a few hours without adjustment the running
wear will eventually cause the cylinder to run out of contact with the bottom blade. At this stage very
rapid rounding of the cutting edges will occur as grass and abrasive particles pass through the
clearance between the blades.
Lack of attention to adjustment can therefore be foolhardy as maintenance costs will escalate. Quality
of cut will also be seriously affected as will the health and growth of the grass.
An experienced operator will notice when a cutterhead starts to go out of adjustment, when the grass
ceases to be cut cleanly and the cut ends become ragged.

CUTTERHEAD BACKLAPPING
This process is recommended for restoring the sharp cutting edges to
cylinders and bottom blades which are essential for good quality grass
cutting.
This process can only deal with a small amount of metal removal to restore
the cutting edges. If the blade edges are seriously worn or damaged it will
be necessary to remove the component parts and have them reground.
The backlapping process:
Check that the mower engine is switched off and the parking brake applied.
Adjust the cutting cylinders to the bottom blades to obtain ‘fleeting contact’.
Apply a medium grade detergent based carborundum paste to the cutting
edges of the cylinders with a long handled brush.
Ensure that the area surrounding the cutterheads is clear of people and keep
hands and feet clear of the cutting cylinders during the period when the
mower engine is running.
Sit on the operator seat, start the mower engine and set the engine speed at
idle.
Operate the cutterhead drive switch to the 'reverse/backlap' position for a
period of time and listen to the grinding action .
Operate the cutterhead drive switch to the 'off' position and switch off the
mower engine when the grinding action has stopped.
Thoroughly clean the blade edges and adjust the cutting cylinders to the
bottom blades. Check that a thin piece of paper can be cut cleanly at all
points along the cutting edges while rotating the cylinders by hand.
If further backlapping is necessary repeat steps 2 to 8.
Thoroughly remove and wash off all traces of the carborundum paste from
the cylinders and bottom blades.

CUTTERHEAD GRINDING
It will be necessary to carry out a grinding operation to correct cylinder spiral edges or bottom blade
edges which have become excessively rounded or distorted. Bottom blades which are nearing the end
of their wear life should be replaced. The new blades should be ground on their holders prior to fitting,
refer - CUTTERHEAD BOTTOM BLADE REPLACEMENT. When grinding operations are necessary
it is essential that both cylinders and bottom blades are ground at the same time. The only exception to
this rule is when a new cylinder is fitted in which case it is only necessary to grind the bottom blade.
All such grinding operations should be carried out by your dealer on a quality, well maintained
cylinder/ bottom blade grinding machine.
CUTTERHEAD BOTTOM BLADE REPLACEMENT
Remove the bottom blade holder by removing the three fixing bolts at each end and withdraw from the
cutterhead. Remove the worn bottom blade and discard the countersunk screws and securing nuts. Fit
the new blade to the holder and loosely assemble with new countersunk screws and securing nuts.
Tighten the centre bolts to a torque of 40 Nm. Continue by tightening the remaining bolts to the same
torque by working from the centre out towards the blade ends.
The new bottom blade must be ground on its holder prior to refitting to the cutterhead.
Adjust the cutting cylinder position to give adequate clearance for fitting the new bottom blade holder.
Refit the bottom blade holder assembly to the cutterhead using the original fixing bolts and tighten to
a torque of 35 Nm. Finally adjust the cylinder to the bottom blade, refer - CUTTERHEAD CYLINDER
