use the cargo tie-down points closest to the
load; pad sharp edges.
Note on the cargo tie-down points and tie-
down eyes on the cargo compartment floor
for touring motorcycles (vehicle category M1)

Direction of pull with 75° lashing angle
2
Direction of pull with 45° lashing angle
The lashing angle is the angle formed between
the cargo compartment floor and the tie down.
For optimum load securing in accordance with
standard ISO 27955 the lashing angle must be
between 45°
2
and 75° 1. The maximum
nominal tensile load of 786.5 lbf (350 daN) for
the tie-down eyes in the cargo compartment floor
or in the guide rails may not be exceeded.
Notes on the partition for commercial vehi‐
cles (vehicle category N1)
Without a partition, vehicles approved as com‐
mercial vehicles (vehicle category N1) do not ful‐
fill the currently valid version of standard
ISO 27956. Standard ISO 27956 describes the
equipment for properly securing a load in delivery
vehicles. If the vehicle is used to transport goods,
retrofitting the partition is strongly recommen‐
ded, as properly securing the load in vehicles
without a partition will always be a complex oper‐
ation.
