SUNSHADE

INSPECTION

1. CHECK FOR MOVING LOAD OF SUNSHADE
1. Attach a spring scale to sunshade edge using a cloth.







2. Pull the spring scale to measure moving load of the sunshade.

Moving load of sunshade:
Standard
18.0 ±5.0 N (1.8 ±0.5 kgf, 13 ±3.7 lbf)


NOTE: Moving load is larger at the beginning of pulling a spring scale, so take a spring scale reading while sunshade sliding smoothly.
