Texts relating to illustrations:
Illustrations relating to use of the machine 
can be found in the front of this instruction 
manual.
The camera symbol serves to link 
the figures on the illustration pages 
with the corresponding text 
passages in the instruction manual.
Models RM 650 VS, RM 655 VS, 
RM 655 YS, RM 655 RS are equipped 
with a blade brake clutch (BBC).
As with all modern lawn mowers, the blade 
comes to a stop within a short time as soon 
as the handlebar is released. However, 
thanks to the BBC system, the engine 
continues to run. This function allows the 
user to use the mower's self-propulsion 
after the blade has stopped. Moreover, the 
grass catcher box can be emptied, 
for example, without having to start the 
engine again.
In order to prevent injuries or damage to 
the machine, ensure that you are familiar 
with operation of the BBC system prior to 
initial use. 
Note the section "Blade brake clutch 
(BBC)". ( 11.)
