v WARNING
The given trailer weights are appli-
cable for altitudes up to 1,000m
above sea level.
In higher elevations the engine out-
put may drop so that it may not be
possible for the permissible trailer
loads to be fully utilized in moun-
tainous territory.
• Above 1,000m in altitude, maxi-
mum permissible trailer loads
should be reduced by 10% for ev-
ery further 1,000m in altitudes.
TRAILER LOADING
To load your trailer properly, you must
know how to measure gross trailer
weight and trailer nose weight. Gross
trailer weight is the weight of the trailer
plus all cargo in it. You can measure
gross trailer weight by putting the fully
loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
Trailer nose weight is the downward
force exerted on the hitch by the trailer
coupler, with the trailer fully loaded and
the coupler at its normal towing height.
This weight can be measured using
bathroom scales.
The weight of your loaded trailer (gross
trailer weight) should never exceed the
specified values.
The maximum permissible trailer nose
weight is 50kg.
The permissible trailer loads are valid
for gradients up to 12%.
When the trailer has been coupled, the
permissible rear axle load for the fully
loaded towing vehicle (including occu-
pants) must not be exceeded.

weight of the hitch and the trailer
nose weight.
