platform, occupants, fuel,
and any load. Never
exceed the GVWR of your
vehicle.
GCW is the actual combined
weight, or Gross
Combination Weight
(GCW), of your vehicle
and its load: vehicle, plus
trailer(s), plus cargo.
GAWR is the Gross Axle Weight
Rating. This is the total
weight that one axle is
designed to transmit to
the ground. You will find
this number listed on the
driver's door edge.
Load
Distribution
be sure any load you
carry is distributed so that
no axle has to support
more than its GAWR.
Be sure that the load on the vehicle is
distributed evenly across each axle so that
no axle has to support more than its rated
GAWR. In total, the vehicle and its load
should not exceed the GAWR for each axle
and must not exceed the GCW
Visual inspection while
approaching the vehicle
Guidelines for visually inspecting your
vehicle.
While approaching the vehicle, inspect the
general appearance of the vehicle and its
surroundings for any signs of needed
attention.
NOTE
If equipped with a three-piece roof fairing,
DO NOT DRIVE WITH ROOF FAIRING
FOLDED DOWN, since the marker lamps
will not be effective in that position.
Perform these basic inspection steps
before operating the vehicle.
1. Check the overall appearance and
condition. Are windows, mirrors, and
lights clean and unobstructed?
2. Check beneath the vehicle. Are
there signs of fuel, oil, or water
leaks?
3. Check for damaged, loose, or
missing parts. Are there parts
showing signs of excessive wear or
lack of lubrication? Have a qualified
mechanic examine any
questionable items and repair them
without delay.
4. Check your load. Is it secured
properly?
