Test Proof Load
Distribution
At the discretion of Competent Person: the proof load may be applied
to FROG-XT either solely on the floor
or
, split between the floor and
seats. For the latter the recommended distribution is;
▪
SWL(Payload) spread equally on seats. Harnesses should be
protected prior to loading with weight. If solid test weights are used
the seats may be folded down to create a flat platform. Wooden
boards placed on folded seatbacks will increase the area for test
weights. The test load should be concentrated towards the centre
of the unit to prevent damage to the seats.
▪
Remaining mass placed on the floor and distributed evenly.
