Maintenance
Other information (e.g. on the nameplate of the trailer device) merely provides information on the test values of the device.
Support load with mounted accessories
When using the accessories (e.g. bicycle carrier), the maximum length and the permissible total weight including load must be considered.
The maximum length of the mounted accessories
(from the ball of the towing device) may not exceed 70 cm.
The permissible total weight of the mounted accessories including its load corresponds to the maxi-mum vertical load for trailer operation; the value can be found in the vehicle registration documentation.
If the maximum load in trailer operation is more than 75 kg, then the permissible total weight of the mounted accessories including their load must not exceed 75 kg.
This value applies if the centre of gravity is at a distance of no more than 30 cm from the towing device ball head.
If the distance of the centre gravity of the load to the ball head of the towing device is greater than 30 cm, then the max. permissible total weight of the accessory, including its load, decreases (e.g. at a distance of 60 cm from the ball head, the permissible weight decreases by half).
If the distance between the centre of gravity of the load and the ball head of the towing hitch is 70 cm, the permissible total weight of the accessories including their load is reduced to 0 kg.
