4. Loading
The additional load is equal to the "technically permissible
maximum weight" minus the "weight (mass) when ready to
drive". This value must take into account the weights for
passengers (conventional load: 75 kg x no. of seats - with the
exception of the driver), additional equipment (e.g. additional
packages, bicycle carrier(s), tow coupling, air conditioner, aw-
ning, etc.) and personal equipment (clothes, leisure articles,
food, camping tables and chairs, etc.).
The mass when the vehicle is ready to start includes an additi-
onal value for liquids and gas, etc. (see basic equipment). Part
of this additional value can also be used for additional loads if,
for example, you would like to travel with empty water tanks or
without gas bottles.
Check to ensure that the masses of all objects transported
in the motor home have been taken into consideration, e.g.
passengers, additional equipment, basic equipment and
personal belongings such as clothes, food, pets, bicycles,
surfboards, other sport equipment, etc.).
Under no circumstances may the technically permissible
total load be exceeded when the motor home has been
loaded.
5. T 650 ESC LE with a permissible maximum weight of 3,500 kg
Before driving, you must open the overflow valve for the
fresh water tank.
To reduce the weight when the vehicle is ready to start, the
fresh water tank has been fitted out with an overflow valve,
located to the right in the seat and marked with a warning
sign. Before you begin driving, open the overflow valve. The
contents of the fresh water tank will run off until, for weight
reasons, only approx. 10 litres are left. When the vehicle is
standing, the valve can be closed, allowing you to use the full
volume of the tank.
A reduced fresh water supply when the vehicle is ready to
start has been entered in the vehicle's registration papers. The
motor home may only be operated on public roads when the
overflow valve is open. The driver is responsible for ensuring
that this requirement is fulfilled as well as for observing the
technically permissible total weight.
