Definition Of Mass - FENDT Bianco Series Manual

3.9 Definition of mass

Definition of masses (weights) for
campers
The EU regulation 97/27/EG applies for calcula-
ting the masses (weights) and for the loading
which results from these calculations. The EU
regulations correspond to a great extent to
the norm DIN EN 1645-2. The terms and basic
calculation elements used in this description are
explained in the following:
1. Gross vehicle weight rating (g.v.w.r.)
The indication of the gross vehicle weight rating
is taken directly from the Fendt factory. These
weights were calculated as a result of lengthy
and detailed experiments; for safety reasons,
they may not be exceeded.
2. Mass in running order
The mass in running order corresponds to the
weight of the standard vehicle including all
standard equipment installed at the factory (e.g.
all-inclusive package) plus the basic equipment
(see Item 3).
3. Basic equipment
The basic equipment consists of all objects and
fluids which are necessary for the safe and pro-
per use of the vehicle. These include the masses
for gas, water and electrical supply (see Item
13.3 for a detailed specification).
4. Additional load
The additional load is the difference between
the "gross vehicle weight rating minus the mass
in running order". The remaining additional load
must be large enough to cover the weights of
possible additional equipment and personal
equipment.
5. Additional equipment
Additional equipment includes all items not part
of the standard equipment preinstalled in the
Fendt factory or by the dealer. This also includes
installations by special request.
The mass in running order refers to the vehicle
as originally equipped by the dealer or factory.
This increases accordingly if special equipment
is installed.
Before the first use, we recommend that you
weigh your vehicle on a calibrated vehicle scale.
In this manner, you can determine the maximum
permissible additional load for your vehicle.
