connecting the towing vehicle
and the trailer must be at least
4% of the total trailer weight,
without exceeding the maximum
allowable vertical load on ball
joint of the trailer. Unbalanced
loads on trailer wheels or heavier
loads at the rear may cause the

of the vehicle may be exceeded by no
more than 75 kg. In these instances,
the vehicle speed must not exceed
100 km/h and the rear tire pressure
must be at least 20 kPa above the
tire pressure recommended for normal
