unladen weight of the mobility device exceeds
the maximum weight for which the tie-down
system is certified
– Make sure the weight of the mobility device
does not exceed the weight for which the
tie-down system is certified. Consult the
tie-down manufacturer's documentation.

device weighs, then you must have it weighed
using calibrated scales.
