IEC60335-2-107 Figure 109 Foot Probe for Kneeling Child Verification Lawnmowers Object Hazard Test

IEC60335-2-107 Figure 109 Foot Probe  for Kneeling Child Verification Lawnmowers Object Hazard Test

The machine is tested by means of the foot probe shown in Figure 109. 

-the foot probe is aligned with the direction of the machine's movement with the toe pointing toward the machine; and 

- the foot probe is placed on the test surface and care is taken that foot probe movement is minimised if the machine comes into contact with the foot probe

Note: A spike or other feature located on the knee of the probe has been shown to be helpful in minimising movement of the foot probe during the test.

If, in automatic mode, it is not possible for the machine to move in accordance with any of the test positions shown in Figure 110, then it is not necessary to conduct the test for those test positions.

The foot probe remians in place at each test position until

- the machine has moved completely away from the foot probe; or

- the foot probe has been in place for 20s; or 

- the machine stops such that a manual reset is required,

whichever occurs first.

For each test position, the foot probe shall not contact the cutting means whilst the cutting means is rotating. If the sole of the foot probe is damaged during the test, it shall be repaired or replaced as necessary.
