Calculation Of The Minimum Front Ballast For Rear-Mounted Attachments; Calculation Of The Minimum Rear Ballast For Front- Mounted Attachments; Calculation Of The Actual Front Axle Load; Calculation Of The Actual Total Weight - Kärcher MIC 50 Manual

TL (kg) = Net weight of the vehicle
TV (kg) = Front axle load of the empty vehicle
TH (kg) = Rear axle load of the empty vehicle
GH (kg) = Total weight rear attachment / rear bal-
last
GV (kg) = Total weight of front attachment / front
ballast
a (m) = Distance between front attachment
(front ballast) centre of gravity and mid-
dle of front axle, max. = 0.86 m
b (m) = Wheelbase of the vehicle
c (m) = 0.56
d (m) = Distance between the centre of the
equipment-side attachment point and
the centre of gravity of the rear attach-
ment / rear ballast
* See chapter "Technical data"
** See operating instructions of the attachment
*** Measure
9.2.1 Calculation of the minimum front ballast for
rear-mounted attachments
1. Enter the result into the table.
9.2.2 Calculation of the minimum rear ballast for
front-mounted attachments
See the manufacturer's specifications for the value "x" or
use a value of x = 0.45 if no specifications are available.
1. Enter the result into the table.

9.2.3 Calculation of the actual front axle load

1. If the necessary minimum front ballast weight (GV min)
is not reached with the front attachment (GV) then the
weight of the front attachment must be increased to the
minimum front ballast weight.
2. Enter the actual calculated permissible front axle load
and the permissible front axle load specified in the work
machine operating instructions into the table.

9.2.4 Calculation of the actual total weight

1. If the necessary minimum rear ballast weight (GH min)
is not reached with the rear attachment (GH), then the
weight of the rear attachment must be increased to the
minimum rear ballast weight.

9.2.5 Calculation of the actual rear axle load

*
1. Enter the result into the table.

9.3.1 3-point mount (optional)

The 3-point mount is attached to the front power lift and se-
cured with 2 bolts.
**
It has got one inclination adjustment system.

Inclination adjustment
1. Remove the bolt for the inclination function; the attach-
ment is able to swing.
2. If the attachment is completely raised, the device will be
aligned horizontally.

9.3.2 Fitting the attachment on the 3-point mount

WARNING
Risk of injury due to attachments
Do not move or fit any attachments if persons are in the
hazard zone.
CAUTION
Risk of damage due to incorrect fitting
After fitting the attachment, check to see that the driver
cabin or add-on parts are not damaged during the lifting
process.
ATTENTION
Observe the graphics and mounting guidelines provided
for preventing erroneous installation.
Note
Keep a sufficient gap to the driver cabin or superstruc-
tures. Any contact must be ruled out.
Bear in mind the weight of the attachment. Attach heavy
superstructures as near as possible to the vehicle.
1. Drive up to the attachment.
