Other information (e.g. on the nameplate of the trail-  
er device) merely provides information on the test  
values of the device.  
Technical data  
Tow hitch attachment points  
Support load with mounted accessories  
When using the accessories (e.g. bicycle carrier), the  
maximum length and the permissible total weight in-  
cluding load must be considered.  
The maximum length of the mounted accessories  
(from the ball of the towing device) may not exceed  
70 cm.  
The permissible total weight of the mounted acces-  
sories including its load corresponds to the maxi-  
mum vertical load for trailer operation; the value can  
be found in the vehicle registration documentation.  
If the maximum load in trailer operation is more than  
75 kg, then the permissible total weight of the  
mounted accessories including their load must not  
exceed 75 kg.  
This value applies if the centre of gravity is at a dis-  
tance of no more than 30 cm from the towing device  
ball head.  
If the distance of the centre gravity of the load to  
the ball head of the towing device is greater than  
30 cm, then the max. permissible total weight of the  
accessory, including its load, decreases (e.g. at a dis-  
tance of 60 cm from the ball head, the permissible  
weight decreases by half).
