MFWD with or without front suspension

Front Ballast	20—24 Suitcase weights or 900 kg (1984 lb.) block
Rear Ballast	None required. If rear weights are already installed, it is not necessary to remove them.

NOTE: It may be practical to use less front weight with smaller trailers, but steering security and stability must be assured.

In all cases percentage on front axle must be increased if needed for steering security and stability.
