Can I use an electric lawn mower near a transformer box?

There is a transformer box on my lawn. It's said on the transfermer box that "keep energized electrical equipment 10ft from one side and 3 ft for all other sideds" But will there really be any problem if an electric mower is approaching? Or is that warning just simply to make sure that if nothing approaches so nothing bad would happen in any case?

    the warning refers to a permanent installation.your elec mower will not have any effect or hazard if you cut near the transformer.if you are really concerned call the power co.remember all warning sings are there to protect the owner of the equipment,s butt in the event of a lawsuit not yours.and if you call them they will have to commit to the actual hazard it cause,s and if nothing else it will aggravate them and it will make up for the high elec bills they send you.

    I suspect that the warning may be their to keep people from installing permanent equipment installations. Light fixtures, well water pumps, etc. I do not think anything should happen if you do not physically touch the box with the mower.

    The transformer box is grounded, mowing around and even up to it is not a problem. Even if you touch the box with the mower.
