All stipulated geometric dimensions apply with the carrier vehicle positioned on a level horizontal surface
27、 with a maximum inclination of 1 % (base plane). The users kinematic specifications/ranges for the supplier shall also indicate whether the work is to be performed on the right-hand side, left-hand side or both sides of the direction of travel. 4.2.2 Obstructions and clearances Obstructions behind w
28、hich mowing is required. The ability to mow strips is influenced by obstructions such as protective barriers, traffic signs etc. If an obstruction cannot be avoided, the kinematics shall allow the mowing/trimming device to pass above the obstruction. The obstruction to be bypassed from above is to b

The mowing machine shall cover the entire range in between. The minimum distance is the interval between the centra
33、l plane and the nearest line of the mowing strip. The maximum distance is the interval between the central plane and the furthest line of the mowing strip (Figure 7). The mowing plane can be identical to the base plane. If the mowing strip does not lie in the base plane, a horizontal interval h to t
34、his plane shall be specified. If the mowing strip is located below the base plane, the interval h shall be specified with a negative sign. If the mowing strip is located above the base plane, the interval h shall be specified with a positive sign in m. Key A Ground plane B Middle plane C Mowing stri

41、6 Displacement with respect to the operators seat reference plane The displacement with respect to the operators seat reference line is the range in which the mowing device needs to be located during the process of mowing. Serving, in particular, to ensure an ergonomic position for the operator in t
42、his process, the displacement depends on the mounting on the carrier vehicle. The displacement range is defined by minimum and maximum distances between the operators seat reference plane and the nearest edge of the mowing device (see Figure 10). If the mowing device is to be located behind the oper
43、ators seat reference plane as viewed in the direction of travel, the corresponding dimensions shall be specified with a negative sign.
