INTRODUCTION

Introduction

The Toro LT3240 is a diesel engine powered self propelled machine with hydraulic systems for ground drive,

cutterhead drives and steering. It operates in two wheel drive with automatic four wheel drive on demand. A

differential lock function may be selected. The transmission system is converted automatically to engage drive to

all 4 wheels when the machine speed decreases as a result of front wheel traction slip. 2WD is automatically

re-engaged when traction slip is reduced.

The LT3240 mower 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 specied

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.
