3.MEASUREMENTS TO BE MADEU.K.
3.1.Fractures and cracksU.K.
After each test all structural members, joints and attaching brackets on the tractor shall be visually examined for fractures or cracks, any small cracks in unimportant parts being ignored.
3.2.Zone of clearanceU.K.
3.2.1.During each test the roll-over protection structure shall be examined to see whether any part of the roll-over protection structure has entered a zone of clearance round the driving seat as defined in points 2.1 and 2.2.U.K.
3.2.2.In addition, the roll-over protection structure shall be examined to determine whether any part of the zone of clearance is outside the protection of the roll-over protection structure. For this purpose it shall be considered to be outside the protection of the roll-over protection structure if any part of it would have come in contact with flat ground if the tractor had overturned towards the direction from which the impact came. For this purpose the tyre and track setting shall be assumed to be the smallest specified by the manufacturer.U.K.
3.3.Maximum momentary deflectionU.K.
During the side impact test the difference between the maximum momentary deflection and the residual deflection at a height of 900 mm above and 150 mm forward of the seat reference point shall be recorded. One end of the rod described in point 2.7.1 of Annex II shall be attached to the upper part of the roll-over protection structure and the other end passed through a hole in the vertical standard. The position of the friction collar on the rod after the blow indicates the maximum momentary deflection.
3.4.Permanent deflectionU.K.
After the final compression test the permanent deflection of the protection structure shall be recorded. For this purpose, before the start of the test, the position of the main roll-over protection structure members in relation to the seat reference point shall be recorded.
