Agricultural machinery. Thrown-object test and acceptance criteria. Flail mowers | Status: Current, Confirmed

1 Scope This part of ISO 17101 gives specifications and acceptance criteria for the thrown-object testing of flail mowers used in agriculture. Examples of machines are shown in Annex A. It is not applicable to the following:

• — large rotary mowers;
• — rotary mowers;
• — mowers with an articulated arm;
• — mowers with one or more vertical axis designed for mulching;
• — pedestrian controlled motor mowers;
• — lawn mowers or machines designed as lawn mowers;
• — inter-row mowing units;
• — machines designed for highway and road maintenance only;
• — flail mowers that have the rear part which can be opened for particular field use operations (e.g. row-crop mowers).

NOTE 1 If a machine is also designed for use outside agriculture, in addition to the thrown-object test given in this part of ISO 17101, other thrown object tests might apply.

NOTE 2 Thrown-object tests and acceptance criteria for rotary mowers are dealt with in ISO 17101-1.
