For Your Safety; Standard Equipment - Viking AMK 045 Instruction Manual

Mulching kit AMK 045
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
mulch insert).

1. For your safety

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 (MB) or
mains plug (ME) before performing any
work on the lawn mower.
Before each use, perform a visual check to
ensure that the mulch insert, strip, multi-
blade and blade fastening are in good
condition.
Only use the mulch insert in conjunction
with the multi-blade.
