is not given in the table or if the location of your cargo is
not in thenormal cargoarea, then yourCGhImaybeestimated
as the distance from the of the front wheel to the horizontal
midpoint of the cargo area.

of the vehicle (fromEquationB) into the appropriate equations below to determine the allowable range
of theCG
v
. If the actual CG
v
(fromEquationA) iswithin the range calculated, the center of gravity location is acceptable.
