WARNING
If tires burst or leak when the vehicle is
running, it is very easy to cause serious
tracaccidents.
● Neverusedamagedtiresandwheels,
or use tires of which the treads have
been worn to the wear indicators.
Otherwise, it is very easy to cause
an accident, because such tires may
burst during driving, causing traffic
accidentsandinjury.Suchtiresand
wheels shall be replaced in time.
● Thetirepressuremustbeupto
specification. Otherwise, it may
cause an accident. If the tire pressure
is insufficient, the continuous high-
speed running of the vehicle will
causethetireto deect,andthetire
is extremely easy to be overheated,
which may cause tread separation or
tire burst.
● Becarefulnottoexposethetires to
chemicals, oil, grease, fuel and brake
uid.
WARNING
● Neverinstallanyusedwheelsand
tires of unknown origin under any
circumstances. Although such
wheels and tires do not have visible
damage, they may have been
damaged. During driving, they may
cause the vehicle to lose control and
leadtotracaccidents.
● Itisnotrecommendedto use
recycled tires. For such tires, the
carcass may degrade as the service
time passes, and the durability may
also be restrained, impairing the
driving safety.
Precautions for wheel failure
- When driving over curbs or similar
obstacles, keep a slow speed in the
vertical direction of the obstacles as much
as possible.
- Be careful not to let the tires contact with
grease, oil and fuel.
- Regularly check the damage status of
tires (i.e., splitting, abrasion, shedding,
deformation or bulging).
- Regularly remove debris embedded in the
grooves of the tire pattern.
Instructions for storing tires
- Before removing the tire, make a mark on
the tire to indicate the rotation direction
mark to ensure the rotation direction and
the dynamic balance of the wheel are
unchanged.
- Store the removed wheels or tires in a
cool, dry place, and preferably in a dark
place.
- The tire mounted on the rim must not be
stored upright.
