STARTING AND OPERATING
Load ing
Improp er weight  distribu  tions  can have an  adverse  effect
on the  way  you r vehicle steers  and  hand les and  the  way
the  brakes  operate.
The  actu al total  weight  and  the  weight  of  the front  and
rear of you r vehicle  at the grou nd  can best be determ  ined
by weighing  it  when it  is load ed and read y for operation.
CAUTIO N!
The entire  vehicle  shou ld first  be weighed   on a commer-
cial scale to insu re that  the GVWR has not  been exceed ed.
The  weight  on  the  front  and  rear  of  the vehicle   shou ld
then  be determ ined  separately   to be  sure that  the  load  is
prop erly  distribu ted  over  front  and  rear  axle.  Weighing
the  vehicle may  show  that  the  GAWR of either  the  front
or  rear  axles   has  been  exceed ed  but   the  total   load  is
within  the specified  GVWR.  If so, weight  must  be shifted
from front  to rear  or rear  to front  as approp riate  until  the
specified   weight  limitations    are  met.  Store  the  heavier
item s down low  and be sure  that the  weight  is distribu ted
equ ally. Stow all  loose  item s securely  before  driving.
Do not  load you r veh icle any  heavier  than  the  GVWR
or  the  maxim um  fron t  and   rear  GAWR.  If  you  do,
parts  on  you r veh icle can  break , or  it can  change  the
way  you r veh icle  handles.   This   could  cause   you  to
lose  control.  Also  overload ing  can  shorten  the  life  of
you r veh icle.
