1 kg each, which can be mounted at the hip joint. Six polyurethane weights each of 1 kg mass can be mounted in the back of the torso.

         3. Cushion

         A cushion must be positioned between the chest of the manikin and the overall. This cushion shall be made of polyethylene foam of the following specification:

           Hardness: 7‑10 shore A

           Thickness: 25 mm + 5

         It shall be replaceable.

         4. Adjustment of the joints

         4.1. General

         In order to achieve reproducible results, it is necessary to specify and control the friction at each joint.

         4.2. Knee joint

         Tighten the knee joint.

         Set the thigh and lower leg vertical.

         Rotate the lower leg through 30°.

         Gradually slacken the tensioner (28) until the lower leg starts to fall under its own mass.

         Lock the tensioner in this position.

         4.3. Hip joint

         Tighten the hip joint.

         Place the thigh in a horizontal position and the torso in a vertical position.

         Rotate the torso in a forward direction until the angle between the torso and the thigh is 60°.

         Gradually slacken the tensioner until the torso starts to fall under its own mass.

         Lock the tensioner in this position.

         4.4. Atlas‑Axis joint

         Adjust the Atlas‑Axis joint so that it just resists its own weight in the fore and aft directions.

         4.5. Neck

         The neck can be adjusted by means of the chain tensioner (13). When the neck is adjusted, the upper end of the tensioner shall displace between 4‑6 cm when subjected to a horizontal load of 10 daN.
