8.6 Battery and charger
(RM 545 VE)
The lawn mower RM 545 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) on 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.

Remove battery (J) from the engine by
pulling it sideways to the right and re-
insert in the opposite direction.
8.7 Level indicator
The flow of air generated by the
blade raises level indicator (1). The
flow of air stops when the grass catcher
box is full. If the flow of air is too low, level
indicator (1) returns to its resting state.
This is a prompt to empty the grass
catcher box.
The functionality of the level indicator is
restricted if the flow of air is impaired.
External influences such as wet, dense or
high grass, low cutting levels,
contamination or the like can impair the
flow of air and the functionality of the level
indicator.
