INTRODUCTION
The cutting deck is available as standard in two
versions:
- with mechanical setting of the cutting height
(AMM 848).
- with factory-fitted, electrical setting
of the cutting height (AME 848).
ASSEMBLY
CUTTING DECK
1. Screw the cutting deck into the deck mounts
(fig. 1).
2. Secure the lift spring in the implement lifter (fig.
2).
3. Install the lifting cylinder in the front lifting arm
by inserting the accompanying spacer in the hole
on the lifting cylinder and threading on two wash-
ers, one on either side. Secure with screw and nut
(only applies to AME 848).
4. Connect the electrical contact to the socket on
the side of the machine (only applies to AME 848),
(fig. 3).
ENGLISH
V-BELT
1. Set the cutting height setting to an intermediate
position.
2. Force the V-belt onto the machine's centre pul-
ley F (fig. 4).
3. Tension the belt with belt idler G. The belt idler
should be on the left of the belt viewed from the
driver's position.
SETTING
In order for the deck to cut evenly and attractively,
it has to be correctly adjusted:
1. Make sure the air pressure in the tyres is correct:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
2. Place the machine on a level floor. Undo the
screws (fig. 5).
3. Adjust the deck so that the front and rear edge of
the cover are the same height above the floor.
4. Tighten the screws.

USING THE MACHINE

CUTTING HEIGHT
The cutting height can be varied from 30 to 80 mm.
- AMM 848 has seventeen fixed cutting height
positions.
- AME 848 has continuously variable setting of
the cutting height.
Note: Stated cutting heights apply when the ma-
chine is on a firm surface.
CUTTING TIPS
For optimum 'Multiclip' effect, follow these tips:
- cut frequently.
- run the engine at full revs.
- keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.
- use sharp blades.
- do not cut wet grass.
- cut twice (with different cutting heights) if
the grass is long.
