The lawn mower MB 650 VE is
equipped with an electric starter. A lithium-

● 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.

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
