3.3.9 Load rack SAWIKO (special equipment)
The load rack permits transport of a load weighing up to 130 kg. For the trans-
port of the load different attachments are available. They are e.g. bike rack or
a transport box. Our authorised dealers and service centres will be happy to
advise you.
The load rack (Fig. 9) permits transport of a motorcycle or a motor scooter
weighing up to 130 kg.
X Do not exceed the rear axle load.
X Heavy loads behind the rear axle can reduce the load on the front axle
due to the leverage effect ( ). This applies especially to long rear
extensions, if a motorbike is transported on the rear carrier or if there is
a heavy load in the rear storage space. The release of the front axle neg-
atively affects the driving quality, especially for front-driven vehicles.
X Always make sure to store the load roadworthy and secure it against
falling.
X The load may not jut out beyond the maximum width of the vehicle. The
lighting and the official licence plate on the load rack may not be covered
by the load.
Z The load rack and caravan coupling may not be used simultaneously.
Z An entry must be made in the vehicle documents in order to attach a load
rack. The required documents are enclosed with the load rack.
Z Have your dealer or service centre install the load rack.
Z Observe the country-specific regulations.
Z Also read the manufacturer's instruction manual.
