NOTE:
Weight on the tag axle
compensates automatically
determined by height control
valve for the drive axle.
Step 5. If a boat, trailer or
other vehicle is being
towed, it must also be
weighed and combined
with the towing vehicle's
GVW (Gross Vehicle
Weight) to ensure the total
weight does not exceed the
GCWR (Gross Combined
Weight Rating).
To determine individual wheel
position weights, it is necessary to
repeat the first three steps, but this
time, use only one side of the scale,
as shown on the following pages.
To calculate the opposite side of
the vehicle wheel position weight,
subtract this side's weights from the
weights recorded in steps 1, 2 and 3.
If there is a towed vehicle, proceed
to step 5 to obtain the "towed
vehicle only" weight.
CAUTION:
Even though the weight of
the total axle may be within
the axle's rating, it may be
overloaded on one side. This
causes one wheel position
to be overloaded; therefore,
side-to-side weighing is
required.
The motorhome must remain
as level as possible on the scale
(even though an axle or side is
not physically on the scale) to
obtain accurate side-to-side scale
readings. There must be enough
space on either side of the scale
to accommodate the width of the
Discovery, Discovery LXE, Pace Arrow, and Pace Arrow LXEt
motorhome being partially off the
scale. It may be necessary to use
wheel ramps to get the required side
to-side leveling.
