4) Add these three weights together to obtain the TOTAL REAR VEHICLE WEIGHT; remove all objects from the vehicle totalling more than
10 kg in weight.
5) Select the adjustment graph that corresponds to the vehicle model. ( Refer to table N° 4).
6) Check the brake pressure.
7) Adjust the load sensitive brake compensator if necessary.
