Multiquip MP150SDLTE, MP200DLTE Determining Load Limit of Tow Vehicle Step, Tire Fundamentals

Page 47

Step 1.

Locate the statement, “The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.,” on your vehicle’s Tire and Loading Information placard(Figure XX).This figure equals the available amount of equipment load capacity.

Step 2.

Determine the weight of the equipment being loaded on the tow vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the avail- able equipment load capacity. The trailer’s Tire Information Placard is attached adjacent to or near the trailer’s VIN (Cer- tification) label at the left front of the trailer (See Figure 33).

Determining Load Limit of Tow Vehicle

Step 1.

Locate the statement, “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX lbs.,” on your vehicle’s placard.

Step 2.

Determine the combined weight of the driver and passen- gers who will be riding in your vehicle.

Step 3.

Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.

Step 4.

The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount e q u a l s 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.).

Step 5.

Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage capacity calculated in Step 4.

If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the tow vehicle’s manual to determine how this weight transfer reduces the available cargo and luggage capacity of your vehicle.

TIRE SAFETY

Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and vehicle load limits (not carrying more weight in your vehicle than your tires or vehicle can safely handle), avoiding road hazards and inspecting tires for cuts, slashes and other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout and flat tires. These actions, along with other care and maintenance activities, can also:

„Improve vehicle handling

„Help protect you and others from avoidable breakdowns and accidents.

„Improve fuel economy

„Increase the tire life

Use the information contained in this section to make tire safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance routine. Recognize that the time you spend is minimal compared with the inconvenience and safety consequences of a flat tire or other tire failure.

Tire Fundamentals

Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standard- ized information on the sidewall of all tires (Figure 34). This information identifies and describes the fundamental char- acteristics of the tire and also provides a tire identification number for safety standard certification and in case of a recall.
