Annex 6 Section 3.1.7 Covering the test bench seat cushion and the test bench seat back cushion [1] 3.1.7.1. The test bench seat cushion is produced out of a square foam block (800 x 575 x 135 mm) in such a way (see Figure 1 of Appendix 1 to this annex) that its shape resembles the shape of the aluminum bottomplate specified in Figure 2 of Appendix 1 to this annex. 3.1.7.2. Six holes are drilled in the bottom-plate in order to fasten it to the trolley with bolts. The holes are drilled alongside the longest side of the plate, three on each side, their position being dependent on the construction of the trolley. Six bolts are put through the holes. It is recommended to glue the bolts on the plate with an appropriate adhesive. Afterwards, the bolts are fastened with nuts. 3.1.7.3. The cover material (1,250 x 1,200 mm, see Figure 3 of Appendix 1 to this annex) is cut across the width in such a way that it is not possible for the material to overlap after covering. There should be a gap of about 100 mm between the edges of the cover material. Therefore the material has to be cut at about 1,200 mm. 3.1.7.4. The cover material is marked with two lines which run across the width. They are drawn 375 mm from the centerline of the cover material (see Figure 3 of Appendix 1 to this annex). 3.1.7.5. The test bench seat cushion is placed upside down on the cover material with the aluminum bottomplate on top. 3.1.7.6. On both sides the cover material is stretched until the lines drawn on it match the edges of the aluminum bottom-plate. At each bolt position, small incisions are made and the cover material is pulled over the bolts. 3.1.7.7. At the position of the grooves in the bottom-plate and in the foam, the cover material should be incised. 3.1.7.8. The cover is glued to the aluminum plate with flexible glue. The nuts have to be removed before gluing. 3.1.7.9. The flaps on the side are folded onto the plate and are glued as well. 3.1.7.10. The flaps in the grooves are folded inside and taped with a strong tape. 3.1.7.11. The flexible glue has to dry for at least 12 hours. 3.1.7.12. The test bench seat-back cushion is covered in exactly the same way as the test bench seat cushion, only the lines on the cover material (1,250 x 850 mm) are drawn 333 mm apart from the centerline of the material. 3.1.8. Line Cr is coincident with the intersection line between the top plane of the test bench seat cushion and the front plane of the test bench seat-back cushion.
