This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of powered rotary and cylinder lawnmowers, including pedestrian-controlled and ride-on (riding) types, and lawn and garden tractors, professional lawnmowers, and lawn and garden tractors with mowing attachments.
This European Standard is not applicable to machines covered by EN 786, lawn edgers, flail mowers, scrub cutters, automatic (robot) mowers, sickle-bar mowers,& or agricultural mowers.
This standard is not applicable to rotary lawnmowers for which the cutting means is a generally circular central drive unit on which is mounted, either one or more non-metallic filaments or one or more non-metallic, pivotally mounted cutting elements. These cutting elements rely on centrifugal force to achieve cutting with the %kinetic energy of a single cutting element not exceeding 10 J.
It describes methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from their use - in addition, it specifies the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on safe working practices.
This standard is not applicable to lawnmowers as covered by EN 60335-2-77 and EN 50338.
The list of significant hazards dealt with in this standard is given in annex A. Annex A also indicates the hazards which have not been dealt with.
The risk of contact with power driven components of ride-on machines (definition 3.28) other than the cutting means and ground contacting parts, has not been dealt with for persons other than the operator when in the driving position.
Environmental aspects and EMC have not been dealt with in this standard.&
This document is not applicable to powered lawnmowers which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
NOTE The reduction of risks from noise and vibration will be the subject of amendments to this standard now being developed.

Ta evropski standard opredeljuje varnostne zahteve in njihovo preverjanje pri načrtovanju in izdelavi gnanih rotacijskih in cilindričnih vrtnih kosilnic, vključno s takimi, ki jih nadzoruje pešec in na katerih se sedi, ter vrtnih traktorjev, profesionalnih vrtnih kosilnic, ter vrtnih traktorjev s priključki za košnjo.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za stroje, ki jih zajema EN 786, izdelovalce tratnih robov, mlatilce, rezalnike grmičev, avtomatske (robotske) kosilnice, kosilnice s srpom na drogu in/ali poljedelske kosilnice. .
Ta standard se ne uporablja za rotacijske vrtne kosilnice, za katere je sredstvo rezanja splošna osrednja rotacijska enota, na kateri so nameščeni ali eno nekovinsko vlakno ali več nekovinskihvlaken ali en nekovinski rezalni element ali več rezalnih elementov, nameščenih na os. Ti rezalni elementi se zanašajo na centrifugalno silo, da dosežejo rezanje s kinetično energijo enega rezalnega elementa, ki ne presega 10 J.
Opisuje metode za preprečevanje ali zmanjševanje nevarnosti, ki izhajajo iz njihove uporabe - poleg tega opredeljuje vrste podatkov o varnih delovnih postopkih, ki jih mora zagotoviti proizvajalec.
Ta standard se ne uporablja za vrtne kosilnice, ki jih zajemata EN 60335-2-77 in EN 50338.
Seznam velikih nevarnosti, ki jih obravnava ta standard, je podan v dodatku A. Dodatek A navaja tudi nevarnosti, ki niso bile obravnavane.
Tveganje stika z gnanimi komponentami strojev, na katerih se upravljavec vozi (definicija 3.28), razen sredstev rezanja in delov, ki so v stiku s tlemi, ni obravnavano za osebe, razen upravljavca, ko je v položaju za vožnjo.
Okoljski vidiki in elektromagnetna združljivost (EMC) v tem standardu niso obravnavani.&
Ta dokument ne velja za gnane vrtne kosilnice, ki so bile proizvedene pred datumom, ko je bil objavljen kot EN.
OPOMBA: Zmanjšanje tveganj, ki nastanejo zaradi hrupa in vibracij, bo predmet dopolnil k temu standardu, ki so v pripravi.

operation.
All openings and safety distances shall conform to '4.2.4.2 and 4.2.4.3 of EN ISO 13857:2008( unless
otherwise specified in this standard.
Rotating covers or discs shall have a continuous unbroken or smooth surface.
Guards shall be provided to prevent accidental contact with hazardous servicing points when the machine is
serviced as %recommended by the instruction manual.&

SIST EN 836:1998+A4:2011
EN 836:1997+A4:2011 (E)
Where a guard is designed to be opened or removed and which exposes a hazard, a safety sign warning of
the hazard shall be located on the guard or adjacent to the hazard.
Where a guard is so positioned that it can be used as a step, it shall withstand a force of 1200 N.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection and measurement.
'Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In addition,
the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for relevant but not significant
hazards, which are not dealt with by this document.(
4.1.2 Guard attachment
All guards shall be permanently attached to the machine and shall not be detachable without the use of tools.
The opening of guards, except for the following, shall require the use of a tool:
a) the opening of or removable interlocked guards which disable the protected moving parts;
b) the opening of hinged, automatically closing guards for grass discharge chutes;
c) engine compartment access of machines where the operator presence control stops the engine.
'Fixed guards that are to be removed as a part of maintenance procedures, as described in the operator's
manual, shall be fixed by systems that can be opened or removed only with tools. These guard fixing systems
shall remain attached to the guards or to the machinery when the guards are removed.
Where possible, fixed guards shall be incapable of remaining in place without their fixings.(
4.1.3 Hot surfaces
4.1.3.1 General
A guard shall be provided to prevent accidental contact with any exposed engine exhaust components larger
2
than 10 cm which have a surface temperature greater than 80 °C at (20 ± 3) °C ambient temperature during
normal starting, mounting and operation of the machine.
NOTE The temperature of 80 °C is to be reviewed at the next revision of this standard taking into account any
relevant values given in 'EN ISO 13732-1(.
4.1.3.2 Temperature measuring equipment
The temperature measuring equipment shall have an accuracy of ± 4 °C.
4.1.3.3 Test method
The engine shall be operated at its maximum operating speed until the surface temperatures stabilise. The
test shall be conducted in the shade. Temperatures shall be determined by correcting the observed
temperature by the difference between the specified ambient and the test ambient temperature.
Identify the hot surface area(s) on the engine exhaust system.
When the distance between the identified hot area and the nearest control is in excess of 100 mm, cone A as
shown in Figure 1 shall be used. For distances less than 100 mm between the identified hot area and the
nearest control, cone B as
