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 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 LT3240 mower 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 proce-
dures.
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 unauthorised modifications carried out to this machine may relieve TORO of liability for any resulting
damage or injury.
In the pursuit of continuous product development TORO reserve the right to alter specifications without notice.
