ANNEX III <Strong>TEST PROCEDURES</Strong> A — <Strong>Test method I</Strong> 1. IMPACT AND CRUSHING TESTS 1.1. Impact at the rear 1.1.1. The tractor shall be so placed in relation to the weight that the weight will strike the roll-over protection structure when the impact face of the weight and the supporting chains or wire ropes are at an angle of 20 ° to the vertical unless the roll-over protection structure at the point of contact has, during deflection, a greater angle to the vertical. In this case the impact face of the weight shall be adjusted by means of an additional support so that it is parallel to the roll-over protection structure at the point of impact at the moment of maximum deflection, the supporting chains or wire ropes remaining at an angle of 20 ° to the vertical. Steps must be taken to reduce the tendency of the weight to turn about the point of contact. The suspended height of the weight shall be so adjusted that the locus of its centre of gravity passes through the point of contact.

1.2. Impact at the front 1.2.1. The tractor shall be so placed in relation to the weight that the weight will strike the roll-over protection structure when the impact face of the weight and the supporting chains or wire ropes are at an angle of 20 ° to the vertical unless the roll-over protection structure at the point of contact has, during deflection, a greater angle to the vertical. In this case the impact face of the weight shall be adjusted by means of an additional support so that it is parallel to the roll-over protection structure at the point of impact at the moment of maximum deflection, the supporting chains or wire ropes remaining at an angle of 20 ° to the vertical. Steps must be taken to reduce the tendency of the weight to turn about the point of contact. The suspended height of the weight shall be so adjusted that the locus of its centre of gravity passes through the point of contact.

1.2.2. Tractors with rigid bodies shall be lashed down as illustrated in Annex IV, fig. 6. The points of attachment of the lashings shall be approximately 2 m behind the rear axle and 1,5 m in front of the front axle.

1.3. Impact at the side 1.3.1. The tractor shall be so placed in relation to the weight that the weight will strike the roll-over protection structure when the impact face of the weight and the supporting chains or wire ropes are vertical unless the protection structure at the point of contact is, during deflection, other than vertical. In this case the impact face of the weight shall be adjusted by means of an additional support so that it is parallel to the protection structure at the point of impact at the moment of maximum deflection, the supporting chains or wire ropes remaining vertical. The suspended height of the weight shall be so adjusted that the locus of its centre of gravity passes through the point of contact.

2. ZONE OF CLEARANCE 2.1. The zone of clearance is illustrated in Annex IV, fig. 3, and is defined in relation to a vertical reference plane generally longitudinal to the tractor and passing through a seat reference point, described in point 2.3, and the centre of the steering wheel. The reference plane shall be assumed to move horizontally with the seat and steering wheel during impacts but to remain perpendicular to the floor of the tractor or of the roll-over protection structure if this is resiliently mounted.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2.2. The boundaries of the zone shall be taken as:

2.3.1. For the purpose of defining the zone of clearance in point 2.1, the seat shall be at the rearmost point of any horizontal adjustment range. It shall be set at the mid-point of the vertical adjustment range where this is independent of adjustment of its horizontal position.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2.3.2.

2.3.3. Where a seat suspension is provided with adjustment for the weight of the driver, this shall be set so that the seat is at the mid-point of its dynamic range.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2.3.4. If it is not possible to determine definite tangents to each area of the backrest (above and below the lumbar region) the following should be done:
