Black plate (357,1)
Examples: Based on a single occupant weight of 68 kg, and a value of 385 kg for the
“combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed”:
The cargo weight limit with one occupant is 385 kg
_
68 kg = 317 kg
The cargo weight limit with two occupants is 385 kg
_
(68 × 2) kg = 249 kg
If the weight of the occupant increases, the cargo weight limit decreases by that much.
