J1163_197610 METHOD FOR DETERMINING OPERATOR SEAT LOCATION ON AGRICULTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION MACHINES

This recommended practice establishes procedures for determining seat location relative to basic datum points or planes on agricultural and construction machines. Alternate procedures are specified including an H-Point procedure to evaluate compliance with standards or regulations related to the H-Point, determined with the device specified in SAE J826b and a Seat Index Point (SIP) procedure to provide for use of a simplified device. When a specific procedure is not designated, the H-Point and SIP are equivalent and can be used interchangeably within normal measurement tolerances.
