         Example: If a tri-axle suspension fitted with dual tyres has two retractable axles, when running only on the nonretractable axle, the first 'Retractable Axle' must come down no later than when the load imposed on the ground reaches 6.5 tonnes. The second 'Retractable Axle' must come down no later than when the load imposed on the ground reaches 13.0 tonnes.

         Tyre type codes

         S Single tyre per wheel
         D Dual tyres per wheel
         W1 Wide Single Tyre (375 to 450 mm width)
         W2 Wide Single Tyre (over 450 mm width)
 1.                                     The 'Retractable Axle' must remain fixed, in either the raised or 'Fully-down' position, when the vehicle is in motion.  This requirement does not require speed sensing. It must be demonstrated however, that in the intended service of the vehicle, road shock or other influences will not cause the 'Retractable Axle' to raise or lower.  Compliance with this requirement must be demonstrated by providing evidence that the designed response of the control system prevents the inadvertent raising or lowering of the 'Retractable Axle'.
 2.                                     A vehicle fitted with a 'Retractable Axle' must, in all 'Configurations', comply with all relevant requirements of clause 6.
