Overloading
driving.   If weighing   the  load ed vehicle  show s  that  you
have  exceed ed either  GAWR, but  the total  load  is within
the  specified  GVWR,  you  must  red istribu te  the weight.
Improp er  weight  distribu tion  can  have an  adverse  effect
on the  way  you r vehicle steers  and  hand les and  the  way
the  brakes  operate.
The   load   carrying    components    (axle,   springs,    tires,
wheels,   etc.)  of  you r  vehicle  will   provid e  satisfactory
service  as long as you  do not  exceed the GVWR  and front
and  rear  GAWR.
The  best   way  to  figure   out   the  total   weight   of  you r
vehicle is to  weigh it when  it is fully  load ed and read y for
operation.  Weigh  it on a commercial  scale  to insu re that it
is not  over  the GVWR.
A load ed  vehicle  is show n  in the  illustration.   Note  that
neither   the  GVWR  or the   GAWR capacities   have  been
exceed ed.

Figure  out the  weight  on the  front and  rear  of the vehicle
separately.   It is  important    that  you  distribu  te  the  load
evenly  over  the front  and  rear  axles.
Overload ing   can   cause   potential    safety   hazard s  and
shorten   useful  service  life.  Heavier  axles  or  suspension
components    do  not   necessarily    increase   the  vehicle s
GVWR.
Loading
To load  you r vehicle  prop erly,  first  figure  out  its empty
weight,  axle by  axle and  side by side.  Store heavier  item s
down   low  and  be  sure   you  distribu  te their   weight   as
evenly  as  possible.  Stow  all  loose  item s securely  before
