Step 7 - Weight Distribution Adjustment
Weight distribution is only one of many things that influences sway. The
operator is responsible for making necessary adjustments to all contributing
factors in order to minimize sway.
Good adjustment:
You have most likely achieved good weight distribution adjustment if your
measurement on
line C
of the weight distribution setup table shows that front wheel
well measurement is
at least halfway back
to the original uncoupled measurement.
See
line C
on Weight Distribution Setup Table (p. 15) and Figure 23 below.
With the trailer coupled and weight distribution
engaged (spring bars in place and jack retracted),
measure the front wheel well height exactly as done
before for lines A and B. Record this new measurement
on line C of the weight distribution setup table on p. 15.
