AMK 043, AMK 048 mulching kits
With a mulching kit, a conventional lawn
mower can be converted into a multi-
mower. For this purpose, the mowing
blade must be replaced with the multi-
blade.
A multi-mower can be used as a grass
collector (with grass catcher box), a rear
discharge mower (with discharge flap
closed), or as a mulching mower (with a
mulching key).
Observe the instruction manual for the
lawn mower, particularly the "For your
safety" and "Maintenance" sections. The
instructions for blade maintenance must
always be observed.
Disconnect the spark plug socket (RM),
mains plug (RME) or safety plug (RMA)
before performing any work on the lawn
mower.
Before each use, perform a visual check to
ensure that the mulch insert, multi-blade
and blade fastening are in good condition.
Only use the mulch insert in conjunction
with the multi-blade.
3.1 Installing the multi-blade
● Remove the mowing blade (see
illustration and instruction
manual for lawn mower). Discard the
blade fastening screw and if necessary
the spring washer.
● Clean the blade contact surface and
blade bushing.
● Assemble the multi-blade: Hook the
upper blade (B1) into the lower
blade (B2) as shown in the illustration.
Ensure that the bores in both blades are
aligned.
● Fit the multi-blade (B) with the curved
wings pointing upwards (towards the
mower) onto the blade bushing.
● Use a suitable wooden block (1) to
counterhold the multi-blade (B).
● Apply Loctite 243 to the thread of the
blade fastening screw (C) or blade
fastening screw (D).
● RM 443, RM 448, RMA 443, RMA 448:
Screw in the blade fastening screw (C)
together with the retaining washer (E) –
observe convexity – and tighten to a
torque of 60 - 65 Nm.
● RME 443:
Screw in the blade fastening screw (D)
and tighten to a torque of 10 - 15 Nm.
3.2 Mulch insert
Inserting the mulch insert:
● Open the discharge flap and hold
it open.
● Insert the mulch insert (A) in the
discharge chute and press from above
until both retaining lugs (1) audibly
engage in the housing (see illustration).
● Close the discharge flap. The lawn
mower is ready for mulching.
Removing the mulch insert:
● Open the discharge flap and hold it
open.
● Lift the detent catch (2). Pull the mulch
insert diagonally upwards out of the
discharge chute.
● For use as a rear discharge mower,
close the discharge flap, for grass
collecting, attach the grass catcher box.
