Provides specifications and acceptance criteria for the thrown-object testing of flail mowers used in agriculture.

This part of ISO17101 gives specifications and acceptance criteria for the thrown-object testing of flail mowers used in agriculture. Examples of machines are shown in AnnexA.

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).

NOTE1 If a machine is also designed for use outside agriculture, in addition to the thrown-object test given in this part of ISO17101, other thrown object tests might apply.

NOTE2 Thrown-object tests and acceptance criteria for rotary mowers are dealt with in ISO17101-1.
