Note
For certain export markets a manually regulated headlight
♦
range control is not offered, thus the -0- position is discontin‐
ued.
For NAR vehicles the side adjustment of headlight is not per‐
♦
mitted, therefore the adjustment bolt is secured against turn‐
ing. Adjustment is only allowed once when the headlight is to
be exchanged. When the side adjustment bolt has been ad‐
justed once, it must be secured with a cap ⇒ Electronic parts
catalogue ETKA . In this case, push securing cap into opening
of lateral adjustment until it is correctly seated.
Loading: With one person or 75 kg on the driver seat and the
vehicle otherwise unloaded (unladen weight).
The unladen weight is the weight of vehicle ready for operation
with a full fuel tank (at least 90 %) including weight of all equip‐
ment usually carried (e.g. spare wheel, tools, jack, fire extinguish‐
er etc.).
If the fuel tank is not at least 90 % full, then load as follows:
– Read level of fuel in fuel tank on fuel gauge. Determine addi‐
tional weight from following table and place weight in luggage
compartment.

be placed in the luggage compartment.

The additional weight is best produced using fuel canisters filled
with water (a 5 litre fuel canister filled with water weighs approx.
5 kg).
