If you deduct the trailer manufacturer's recommended tongue/hitch weight from the trailer's GVWR you will have the weight the axles are required to carry.
I found these specs for your trailer;
GVWR: 9940
Hitch: 1390
This is how the standard is written;
"The sum of the GAWRs of all axles on the vehicle plus the vehicle manufacturer's recommended tongue weight must not be less than the GVWR."
