Calculation Of The Minimum Rear Ballast For Front; Mounted Attachments; Calculation Of The Actual Front Axle Load; Calculation Of The Actual Total Weight - Kärcher MC 250 Manual

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) = Distance between centre of rear axle
and rear ballast centre of gravity
* See chapter "Technical data"
** See operating instructions of the attachment
*** Measure
8.3.1 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.

8.3.2 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 ma-
chine operating instructions into the table.

8.3.3 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.

8.3.4 Calculation of the actual rear axle load

1. Enter the result into the table.
