5.1.1.

The tractor shall be so constructed and equipped that, in road traffic and when used in agriculture or forestry, the driver has an adequate field of vision in all normal conditions of road traffic and of field and forest work. The field of vision shall be deemed to be adequate when the driver can, wherever possible, see part of each front wheel and when the following requirements are met:

5.2.   Verification of field of vision

5.2.1.   Procedure for determining masking effects.

| 5.2.1.1. | The tractor shall be placed on a horizontal surface as shown in figure 2. On a horizontal support level with the reference point, there shall be mounted two point sources of light, e.g. 2 × 150 W, 12 V, 65 mm apart and symmetrically located with respect to the reference point. The support shall be rotatable at its centre point about a vertical axis passing through the reference point. For the purpose of measuring the masking effects, the support shall be so aligned that the line joining the two light sources is perpendicular to the line joining the masking component and the reference point. The most adverse arrangement of tyre equipment shall be fitted. The silhouette (deepest shadow) overlaps projected onto the semi-circle of vision by the masking component when the light sources are switched on simultaneously or alternately shall be measured in accordance with paragraph 2.7 (figure 3). |

| 5.2.2.2. | On the basis of a binocular vision and a distance between the eyes of 65 mm, the masking effect expressed in mm can be calculated by the formula





  where

  a= the distance in mm between the component obscuring vision and the reference point, measured along the line of vision joining the reference point, the centre of the component and the perimeter of the semi-circle of vision;

  b= the width in mm of the component obscuring vision, measured horizontally and perpendicularly to the line of vision. |
