This SAE Standard provides a method to obtain consistent force-deflection data of finished (or unfinished, when specified) cushioned components of seats for off-road work machines as listed in SAE J1116. This data may be helpful in maintaining seat comfort characteristics and quality control. There is no intent to establish any acceptance criteria.

This SAE Standard describes a laboratory test procedure for comparatively evaluating the durability and fatigue life qualities of a complete seat cushion by submitting the seating surface of the cushion to repetitive compressive and rotational loading with a simulated human buttocks.

This SAE Standard establishes the minimum performance requirements for pelvic restraint systems (seat belts, anchorages, and the fastening elements of seat belts) necessary to restrain an operator or rider within a roll-over protective structure (ROPS) in the event of a machine roll-over, as defined in ISO 3471, or tip-over protection structure (TOPS), in the event of a machine tip over as defined in ISO 12117. This SAE Standard applies to off-road, self-propelled work machines fitted with ROPS as specified in ISO 3471, TOPS as specified in ISO 12117 and operator restraint.

The purpose of this report is to record the activities and recommendations of the Ride Meter Task Force assigned by the chairman of the SAE Joint Seating Subcommittee to determine availability of instrumentation to measure operator ride on mobile equipment. The desired characteristics of the meter included relatively low cost, easy to operate, highly portable, and sufficiently rugged to withstand the vibration levels encountered on agricultural or construction machines. It is recognized that a ride meter type instrument with a single numerical output provides only approximate indication of ride vibration quality, but is useful for general field evaluation or overall ride comparisons. A narrow band analysis of the vibration frequency spectrum is recommended for more accurate and complete results.

The task force was assigned responsibility for the following activities: 1 Formulate a recommendation for an acceptable ride meter including features, functional performance, and design specifications. 2 Conduct a survey to determine if there is a commercially available ride meter conforming to the recommendation. 3 If an acceptable ride meter is not commercially available, work with an electronics supplier to initiate a design and build a working prototype of a meter conforming to the recommendation.
