Detaching:
● Open discharge flap (1) and hold it
open.
● Lift grass catcher box (2) upwards,
detach from projection (4) and remove.
● Close discharge flap (1) again
manually.
The machine is equipped with several
safety devices for safe operation and for
the prevention of improper use.
9.1 Safety devices
The lawn mower is equipped with safety
devices, which prevent inadvertent contact
with the mowing blade and with ejected
clippings.
These include the housing, discharge flap,
grass catcher box and correctly installed
handlebar.
9.2 Motorstop lever
The lawn mower is equipped with a
motorstop device.
The engine stops when motorstop
lever (1) is released during running
operation.
The engine and blade come to a standstill
within 3 seconds.
Measuring the run-on time
Following engine start-up, the blade
rotates and a wind noise is audible. The
run-on time corresponds to the duration of
the wind noise after the engine stops. This
can be measured using a stopwatch.
A perfect, thick lawn is achieved by
– Mowing at low driving speeds.
– Mowing regularly and keeping the grass
short.
– Not cutting the lawn too short in hot, dry
conditions as it will be burnt by the sun
and become unsightly.
– Using a sharp mowing blade – mowing
blade should therefore be sharpened
regularly (specialist dealer).
– Changing the cutting direction regularly.
10.1 Working area for operator
● For safety reasons, the operator
must stay within the working area
behind the handlebar when starting the
engine and when the engine is running.
Always observe the safety distance
provided by the handlebar.
● The lawn mower must only be operated
by one person. Other persons must
keep out of the danger area. (Ö 4.)
10.2 Lawn mower with lawn roller
The model RM 545 VR is equipped
with a two-part drive roller on the
rear axle.
This permits accurate mowing along lawn
edges or around plants. The grass is also
rolled in the direction of travel, creating a
characteristic striped lawn pattern.
10.3 Mulching
The multi-mower RM 545 VM is
equipped with a special multi-blade
and a pre-installed mulch insert.
Inserting the mulch insert
The mulch insert (1) must be inserted in
order to use the machine as a mulching
mower:
● Open the discharge flap and hold it
open.
● Insert mulch insert (1) in the discharge
chute and press from above until both
retaining lugs (2) audibly engage in the
housing.
● Close the discharge flap.
Removing the mulch insert
The mulch insert (1) must be removed to
use the machine as a rear discharge
mower or grass collector (with suitable
grass catcher box):
● Open the discharge flap and hold it
open.
9. Safety devices
Risk of injury!
If a safety device is found to be
defective, the machine must not be
operated. Consult a specialist
dealer; STIHL recommends STIHL
specialist dealers.
