Maintenance and Storage

Take care when rotating a cutting cylinder as this can cause other cylinders to rotate.
When the machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lift the cutterheads to the transport position and
engage the safety locks or lower the cutterheads to the ground.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silencer, fuel tank and battery compartment free of grass, leaves or
excessive grease.
Frequently check fuel lines and fittings for cracks or leaks and replace if necessary.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
Ensure that all safety decals are properly secured and in good condition.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and
fixed parts of the machine.
Never attempt to disconnect any part of the hydraulic system before depressurisation. This may be achieved
by lowering all cutterheads to the ground, stopping the engine and removing the ignition key.
Avoid skin or eye contact with hydraulic or diesel fluids. Wear protective clothing.
Leaking fluids under pressure can penetrate the skin or eyes, causing serious injury.
Always use a piece of cardboard or paper when searching for leaks.
The T4240 Mower has been designed and constructed so that, in so far as is reasonably practical, they
meet the safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, they will not endanger the safety
and health of those working with them. This is, however, subject to the machine being properly used
and maintained according to the conditions stated in this manual and elsewhere, which have been
found necessary as a result of the research and testing.
