9.5 Battery and charger
(RM 650 VE)
The lawn mower RM 650 VE is
equipped with an electric starter. A lithium-
ion battery is used as the starter battery.
Instructions on how to use the battery and
charger can be found in the supplied
engine instruction manual.
Initial operation:
● Remove protective sticker (1) from the
battery.
● Connect charger (K) to the mains
power supply and charge battery (J) for
approx. 10 seconds. This deactivates
sleep mode (delivery condition) and
activates the battery.
Then charge the battery completely.
Removing and inserting the battery:
● Remove battery (J) from the engine by
pulling it sideways to the right and re-
insert in the opposite direction.
9.6 Level indicator
The upper part of the grass catcher
box features a level indicator (1).
The flow of air that is created by the rotary
movement of the mowing blade and is
responsible for filling the grass catcher box
raises the level indicator (2):
The grass catcher box is filled with
clippings.
When the grass catcher box is full, this
flow of air is reduced and the level
indicator drops (3):
● Empty filled grass catcher box
(
Ö 13.10).
Danger of pinching!
When actuating the detent lever,
always hold the upper handlebar
with one hand at its highest point.
Never place your fingers between
the handlebar and console (above
and below the detent lever).
