●
Tongue weight (vertical weight on
trailer hitch point):50kg(110lbs)
NOTE:
Cargo bed :
Max. loading weight is 100Kg ( 220lbs )
●
Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed
for use with a 5 cm (2in) receiver. (See
page 4-23 for more information)
●
Do not exceed the maximum tongue
weight. You can measure tongue
weight with a bathroom scale. Put the
tongue of the loaded trailer on the scale
with the tongue at hitch height. Adjust
the load in the trailer, if necessary, to
reduce the weight on hitch. If you are
carrying cargo and towing a trailer,
include the tongue weight in the
maximum vehicle load limit.
●
Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to
the center of the vehicle as possible and
tie it down using the cargo hooks
equipped on the cargo bed.
●
Tie down cargo securely in the trailer.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
move around. A shifting load can cause
an accident.
●
Make sure the load does not interfere with
controls or your ability to see where you
are going.
●
Drive more slowly than would without a
load. The more weight you carry, the
slower you should go. Although
conditions vary, it is good practice not to
exceed low range whenever you are
carrying heavier loads or when towing a
trailer.
