Precautions

1. The special tool must be used when you remove and install a tire. It is not allowed to
remove and install a tire by knocking on it using a sledge hammer or by using other
sharp tools.

2. Mixed use of tires of different specifications, ply ratings, tread patterns, pressures, and
loads is not allowed.
3. When installing a directional tread pattern tire, pay attention to its mark of rolling
direction.

4. In the case of a double tire, remember to align vent holes of the 2 wheels, stagger the 2
tire valves 180°, and leave the tire normal to the shoe to hub clearance inspection hole
on the brake hub.

5. Be sure to perform tire rotation every 5,000~6,000km travel in order to achieve even
wear of tires.

6. After a tire rotation, readjust tire pressure according to requirements for 23
corresponding tire position.

7. Tire inflation should be made according to the standard pressure specified in the
owner’s manual for this model and be measured with an air pressure gauge with tires
cold; before inflation, check if valve core and valve fit flatly, and wipe dust; charged air
should not contain moisture and oil mist. After inflation, check for air leak, and tighten
tire valve cap.

8. Have a good knowledge of inflation standard, check air pressure and recharge in good
time, and keep tire pressure moderate.

9. Check and adjust front wheel toe-in periodically to avoid unnecessary increases in
running resistance and fuel consumption which could even accelerate tire wear.
