29、ull 30 cm (12 in) of belt webbing, or the maximum amount available, whichever is less, from the retractor and then release it, allowing the webbing to return to the dummys chest. 4.3.3.6 Pull the webbing off the load cell and check if the zero adjustment is maintained. Adjust the zero setting if nec

30、essary. 4.3.3.7 Next pull, from near the dummys chest, the belt webbing 7.6 cm (3 in) from the dummys chest. Then allow the webbing to retract and gently return to the load cell. Record the force on Data Sheet A7 (Appendix A). 4.3.3.8 Repeat 4.3.3.5 through 4.3.3.7 for a total of three (3) measureme

31、nts. Determine if each measured belt contact force is 0.32 kg (0.7 lb) or less. Record the results on Data Sheet A7 (Appendix A).
