One basic weight (A) and up to 14 front weights may be installed.

The basic weight weighs 60 kg (130 lb) and each additional weight weighs 50 kg (110 lb). Each increase in weight of 10 kg (22 lb) increases the front axle load by approx. 12 kg (26.5 lb).

Tighten attaching screws (B) on basic weight (A) to 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) and the screws on the additional weights to 230 Nm (170 lb-ft).

When installing six or more additional weights, they must be installed to form a jaw.

The jaw hitch should be used for shunting and towing on hard-surfaced roads only.
