of the seat.

       4.7. Adjust the feet and leg positions of the 3-D H machine as follows:

       4.7.1. Designated seating position:  driver and outside front passenger

       4.7.1.1. Both feet and leg assemblies shall be moved forward in such a way that the feet take up natural positions on the floor, between the operating pedals if necessary.  Where possible the left foot shall be located approximately the same distance to the left of the centreplane of the 3-D H machine as the right foot is to the right.  The spirit level verifying the transverse orientation of the 3-D H machine is brought to the horizontal by readjustment of the seat pan if necessary, or by adjusting the leg and foot assemblies towards the rear.  The line passing through the "H" point sight buttons shall be maintained perpendicular to the longitudinal centreplane of the seat.

       4.7.1.2. If the left leg cannot be kept parallel to the right leg and the left foot cannot be supported by the structure, move the left foot until it is supported.  The alignment of the sight buttons shall be maintained.

       4.7.2. Designated seating position:  outboard rear

        For rear seats or auxiliary seats, the legs are located as specified by the manufacturer.  If the feet then rest on parts of the floor which are at different levels, the foot which first comes into contact with the front seat shall serve as a reference and the other foot shall be so arranged that the spirit level giving the transverse orientation of the seat of the device indicates the horizontal.

       4.7.3. Other designated seating positions:

        The general procedure indicated in paragraph 4.7.1. above shall be followed except that the feet shall be placed as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

       4.8. Apply lower leg and thigh weights and level the 3-D H machine.

       4.9. Tilt the back pan forward against the forward stop and draw the
        3-D H machine away from the seat-back using the T-bar.  Reposition the 3-D H machine on the seat by one of the following methods:

       4.9.1. If the 3-D H machine tends to slide rearward, use the following procedure.  Allow the 3-D H machine to slide rearward until a forward horizontal restraining load on the T-bar is no longer required i.e. until the seat pan contacts the seat-back.  If necessary, reposition the lower leg.

       4.9.2. If the 3-D H machine does not tend to slide rearward, use the following procedure.  Slide the 3-D H machine rearwards by applying a horizontal rearward load to the T-bar until the seat pan contacts the seat-back (see figure 2 of Appendix 1 to this Annex).

       4.10. Apply a 100  10 N load to the back and pan assembly of
