TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
•
When using a trailer on mountain
routes you must bear in mind that the tow
loads given in the "Technical data" chap-
ter are only applicable for slopes of 10%
to 12%. If you do not use the full tow load
you may drive up steeper slopes.
•
The given trailer weights are only applic-
able for altitudes up to 1000 m above sea
level. As the engine output drops due to
the decreasing air density, the climbing
ability must also be reduced by 10% for
each further 1000 m.
•
Where possible make full use of the
maximum permissible drawbar weight on
the ball of the towing bracket but do not
exceed it. See chapter "Technical Data".
•
While observing the permissible trailer
and drawbar weight, distribute the load in
the trailer so that heavy objects are as
near as possible to the axle. The objects
must also be secured so that they cannot
slip about.
