Title
Consumer Turf Care Equipment Walk-Behind Mowers and Ride-On Machines with Mowers Safety Specifications
American National Standards Institute
Publication Date:
Sep 23, 2003
Scope:
The safety specifications given in this standard are for (a) reel and
rotary walk-behind power lawn
mowers, (b) reel and rotary ride-on power lawn mowers, (c) ride-on
power lawn tractors with mower
attachments, (d) ride-on power lawn and garden tractors with mower
attachments, and (e) lever steer
ride-on mowers. They are intended to provide safety requirements and
to help ensure uniform
operator environments. These specifications are intended to apply to
products specifically intended
as consumer products for the personal use of a consumer around a
house. These specifications are
not intended to apply to commercial products customarily used by hired
operators or to products
designed primarily for agricultural purposes such as defined in SAE
J1116 or SAE J1150. They are
not intended to cover sulky-type units, walk-behind tractors, flail
mowers, sickle bar mowers, or
rotary mowers not provided by the tractor manufacturer, and are not
intended to completely cover
electrical requirements. This standard is intended to apply to all
aftermarket parts and
accessories not provided by the original equipment manufacturer.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commision (CPSC) has promulgated a
mandatory standard relating to
certain aspects of walk behind power lawn mower operations (Safety
Standards for Power Lawn Mowers,
CPSC 16/CFR Part 1205). A copy of the CPSC mandatory standard is
contained in Annex C. The CPSC
standard contains requirements that must be met by manufacturers of
walk-behind lawn mowers.
