to retract; repeat this operation four times.  Apply a 9 to 18 N tension load to the lap belt by pulling the upper torso belt adjacent to the latchplate.  Measure the tension load as close as possible to the same location where the force was applied.  After the tension load has been applied, ensure that the upper torso belt lies flat on the 'Test Dummy's' shoulder.  Allow the excess webbing in the shoulder belt to be retracted by the retractive force of the retractor.

9.1.                                    Each 'Hybrid II' 'Test Dummy' must be set up according to the following:

9.2.                                    The 'Test Dummy' must be clothed in formfitting cotton stretch garments with short sleeves and midcalf length pants.

9.3.                                    A size 11EE shoe which meets the configuration, size, sole, and heel thickness specifications of MIL-S 131192 and weighs 0.57 + 0.1 kg must be placed on each foot.

9.4.                                    Limb joints must be set at l times the acceleration due to gravity, barely restraining the mass of the limb when extended horizontally.

9.5.                                    Leg joints must be adjusted with the torso in the supine position.

9.6.                                    Instrumentation must not affect the motion of dummies during impact.

9.7.                                    The stabilised temperature of the 'Hybrid II' 'Test Dummy' specified must be at any level between 18.9 degrees C and 25.6 degrees C.

10.                                      POSITIONING PROCEDURES FOR HYBRID II  TEST DUMMY

         10.0. A 'Hybrid II' 'Test Dummy' must be positioned in each front outboard seating position of a vehicle as specified in the following clauses:

10.1.                                Vehicle Equipped with Front Bucket 'Seats'

         Place the torso of the 'Hybrid II' 'Test Dummy' against the 'Seat' back and its upper legs against the 'Seat' cushion to the extent permitted by placement of the 'Test Dummy's' feet in accordance with the appropriate clause of 10.  Centre the 'Test Dummy' on the 'Seat' cushion of the bucket 'Seat' and set its midsagittal plane so that it is vertical and parallel to the centreline of the 'Seat' cushion.

10.1.1.                          Driver position placement

10.1.1.1.                    Initially set the knees to be nominally 368 mm apart, measured between the outer surfaces of the knee pivot bolt heads, with the left outer surface 150 mm from the midsagittal plane of the 'Hybrid II' 'Test Dummy'.

10.1.1.2.                    Rest the right foot on the undepressed accelerator pedal with the rearmost point of the heel on the floor pan in the plane of the pedal.  If the foot cannot be placed on the accelerator pedal, set it initially perpendicular to the lower leg and place it as far forward as possible in the direction of the pedal centreline with the rearmost point of the heel resting on
