The standard requires rotary power mowers to have protective shields. These shields prevent the operator’s foot from contacting the blade, either under the mower’s deck or in the discharge chute area, when the operator has his or her hands on the mower’s controls. Generally, a shield must prevent a foot probe from entering the path of the mower blade or from forcing any part of the mower into the path of the blade. The only difference between the UL Foot Probe Model FP10 and International FootThe standard requires rotary power mowers to have protective shields. These shields prevent the operator’s foot from contacting the blade, either under the mower’s deck or in the discharge chute area, when the operator has his or her hands on the mower’s controls. Generally, a shield must prevent a foot probe from entering the path of the mower blade or from forcing any part of the mower into the path of the blade. The only difference between the UL Foot Probe Model FP10 and International Foot Probe Model FP11 is the length of the simulated leg.

Model FP11- Adult Foot Probe
This Adult Foot Probe, Model FP11, has been designed, fabricated, and assembled in our state of the art manufacturing facilities. It is then calibrated in our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory to ensure compliance with the standards identified in the tables above. The standards for our Model FP11 require rotary power mowers to have protective shields. These shields prevent the operator’s foot from contacting the blade, either under the mower’s deck or in the discharge chute area, when the operator has his or her hands on the mower’s controls. Generally, a shield must prevent a foot probe from entering the path of the mower blade or from forcing any part of the mower into the path of the blade.
Model FP10 – Foot Probe for Standing Child
This Foot Probe for Standing Child, Model FP10, has been designed, fabricated, and assembled in our high precision tool and die facilities. It is then calibrated in our ISO 17025 laboratories to the standards specified for this probe. This probe is used to simulate the accessibility of a child’s leg or foot for robotic and rotary lawn mowers. Generally, a shield must prevent a foot probe from entering the path of the mower blade or from forcing any part of the mower into the path of the blade.
Model FP09 – Foot Probe for Kneeling Child
The Foot Probe for Kneeling Child, Model FP09 or FP9, has been designed, fabricated, and assembled in our state of the art manufacturing facilities. It is then calibrated in our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory to ensure compliance with the standards identified in the tables above. This probe is used to simulate the accessibility of a kneeling child’s leg and foot for robotic and rotary lawn mowers. Generally, a shield must prevent a foot probe from entering the path of the mower blade or from forcing any part of the mower into the path of the blade.
Probe Model FP11 is the length of the simulated leg.
