I. 

Sequence of removal 

①

  Remove the hub nut; 

②

  Lift the wheel stably. 

Note:  don’t loosen the tightened wheel by heating 
it. It will shorten the service life of wheel, hub nut 
and wheel bearing. Excessive force application, e.g. 
hitting the wheel or tire, will also cause the 
damages, which can’t be recovered. It’s allowed to 
hit the sides of wheel slightly with a hand or 
rubber hammer. 

③  

Remove the wheel. 

If it’s difficult to remove the wheel from the 
vehicle, it may be caused by the existence of 
sundries or excessive close fit among the wheel 
middle holes, nuts and hubs. At this time, the 

wheel can be removed from the vehicle by 
adopting the following methods: 

A.  Re-tighten any influenced hub nut, and then 

turn the hub nut two circles in its loosening 
direction. 

B.  Lower the vehicle, try to shake the vehicle, 

and adopt the weight of one or several 
persons to loosen the wheel.  

C.  Lift up the vehicle again, and then remove the 

wheel. 

Note:  don’t apply the lubricating oil to vertical 
surface of wheel and hub (or brake disc), because 
the existence of lubricating oil in these positions 
will lead to the wheel loosening when the vehicle 
is driven, control failure of vehicle and even 
serious accidents. The lubricating oil is not good 
for removal of tightened wheel. If the lubricating 
oil is required, don’t apply too much oil, and only 
to the centerhole area of wheel. 

II.  Sequence of installation 

Note:  before installing the wheel, please remove 
the sundries from the mounting faces of wheel, 
brake drum and hub with a hairbrush. If the surface 
contact is poor during the installation, it will 
loosen the hub nut. While the vehicle is driving, 
there may be a risk of disengaging the wheel from 
the vehicle. The hub nut must be tightened as per 
the specified torque, but its tightening force shall 
not be excessive, thus the bends of wheel, brake 
drum or hub can be avoided. 

①

  Install the wheel. 

②

  Install the hub nuts in diagonal order. Don’t 

tighten the hub nut. 

③

  Lower the vehicle. 

④

 Tighten 

it. 

Tighten the hub nuts up to the torque of 100 to 120 
N.m (73.3 to 88.3 lb-ft). 

⑤

 Wheel 

balance 

Measure the balance of wheel with an automatic 
balancing machine. The balancing machine is 
convenient in operation, its static and dynamic 
balance can be also measured. Unlike the balance 
of vehicle, don’t calibrate the unbalance of vehicle, 
brake drum or hub. This defect can be resolved by 
precision. During the balancing work, make the 
taper part through the wheel center hole to fix the 
wheel, and don’t do so through the mounting hole 
of hub nut. 

⑥

  Calibrate the unbalanced tire. 

Provide two methods to calibrate the unbalanced 

 

Wheels and tires 2C-7 

tire. 

One method is to fix the tire through this automatic 
device, and then hit small yellow rubber blocks on 
both sides of tire tread. Such calibration method is 
usually permanent. 

If it’s well handled, it won’t influence its 
appearance or tire service life. 

It’s not recommended to calibrate any tire with a 
blade-shape machine, because it can reduce the 
service life of tire tread, and the tire can’t be 
permanently calibrated.  

The other method is to remove the tire, and then 
turn it by 180

ﹾ on the rim. The unbalance of wheel 

or tire must be known before doing so, because 
this method can ensure the balance of its assembly. 

⑦

 Installation of tire and wheel 

The tire and wheel shall be installed in the 
assembling workshop. During the installation, 
install them by aligning the radial hard point or 
heavy balancing point of tire to the radial dot or 
light balancing point of wheel. 

The heavy balancing point of tire is marked with a 
red dot during the start of its production, or marked 
on the tire side with a label. 

The light balancing point of wheel is located at the 
inflating valve. 

Before installing the tire and wheel, scribe a line 
on the tire and inflating valve to ensure that they 
can be installed in the same position during the re-
installation.  

The quality of spare tire and original tire shall be 
the same, and their heavy and light points shall be 
marked with the same method.

to make sure the safety zone by car to.。 

2．The system can effectively vehicle tire pressure and temperature to be monitored, but can not prevent the 

occurrence of unexpected accident; the user should ensure that the car with the help of the system in the 
normal tire pressure and temperature conditions. 

3．To ensure the safety of you and your family do not use more than the life or have been badly worn tires, tires 

should be replaced with new tires require timely. 

4．Perfusion certain chemicals (such as leak-proof glue, etc.) can damage the sensor within the tire manufacturer 

will not be affected for such systems to provide quality assurance. 

5．When the vehicle is running, such as a radio frequency transmitter to nearby towers, radio stations, military 

region, airports and other areas surrounding the complex electromagnetic environment, it may cause the 
system wireless communication signal interference, causing the system to issue a warning abnormal 
communication tips. When the vehicle left these areas may automatically resume normal operation. 

6．When the radiation inside the vehicle fitted with a large electronic products, or install wireless transmission 

continued working device, are likely to affect the normal reception of the data in this system, cause the system 
to communicate warning exceptions. 

7．Vehicles may generate pressure alarm from extremely cold surroundings into a very hot surroundings, or from 

extreme heat to extreme cold surroundings into the surrounding environment, with tire gas expansion and 
contraction. 

8．Tire pressure sensors powered by battery when the vehicle is used in the extremely cold environments, you 

may discharge the battery by temperature influence diminished capacity, resulting in weakening of sending a 
warning signal of the sensor caused by communication failure, when the vehicle is running for some time as 
the tire temperature rises high, the failure to eliminate themselves.。 

9．Tire pressure sensor when the vehicle is stopped, to save energy automatically enters a low power state. 

If the tire pressure changes can be updated when there is 10KPA offer 20 seconds of data once, and also the 
ignition switch is turned on, tire pressure host in the receiving state.  

If the parking subtraction tire pressure, tire pressure monitor can not update the data, the user starts the 
vehicle, when the vehicle exceeds 25Km / h, pressure data will be automatically updated.

Troubleshooting

 

1: undervoltage alarm

 

 

   Cause: The weather temperature is too low or leak, resulting in low tire pressure warning. 

Troubleshooting: Vehicle placed in ACC status, filling the tires to normal pressure, the system will  disarm the 
alarm, such as the fault persists, you can exercise the vehicle to 25 km / h and the duration of 10 minutes, the 
fault is automatically lifted.

 

2: The emergence of high-pressure alarm

 

Cause: The weather temperature is too high or the tires, too high, causing the tire pressure is too high alarm. 
Troubleshooting: ACC status of the vehicle is placed on reducing gas to the normal tire pressure, the system 
will disarm the alarm, such as the fault persists, you can exercise the vehicle to 25 km / h and the duration of 10 
minutes, the fault is automatically lifted. 

3: Fault Alarm

 

Reason: Vehicles subject to electromagnetic interference, sensor does not match, the sensor battery is low or the 
sensor is damaged, resulting in failure alarm. 
Troubleshooting: 
3.1): Vehicle by environmental electromagnetic interference, such as radio or military exercises near the vehicle   
outside interference can be exercised to return to normal; 
3.2): the vehicle is the vehicle electromagnetic interference: If the vehicle installation DVD, tachograph, 
walkie-talkies and other electronic devices excessive electromagnetic radiation, will 
Tire pressure system for communication frequency interference, causing the tire pressure sensor signals the host 
can not receive automatic alarm. Disconnect the power supply related electronic equipment for testing, such as 
tire pressure back to normal, then the excessive electromagnetic related equipment failed to be removed.

 

3.3): The sensor does not match, the system automatically normal alarm. 
Use vehicle diagnostic, click interface makes tire pressure tire pressure to match the host into the matching state; 

Learn collected using a handheld tire sensor ID, tire pressure and transmit to the host, as follows:

nuts, keep the rotations of both side linkages 
equal to each other, both side steering 
linkages are right hand threads, so right 
steering linkage shall be turned in front of 
vehicle, and left steering linkage shall be 
turned back to increase the toe-in. 

Note:  turn each of both steering linkages by a 
complete circle, and change the toe-in by about 
6mm {0.24 in} 0º36’.

Note 

In case of not removing ABS anti-lock brake 
system wheel speed sensor first, carry out the 
following operation procedures. If the sensor is 
inadvertently pulled, it may cause the broken 
circuit of wire. Before carrying out the following 
operation procedures, remove ABS wheel speed 
sensor from axle side, and fix it in appropriate 
position to prevent the sensor from inadvertent 
pulling during the repair of vehicle. 

1.  Remove it in the sequence shown in the table; 

2.  Install it in the reverse sequence of removal; 

3.  Check the location of front wheel. In case of 

not conforming to the standard provisions, 
adjust the location of front wheel (refer to the 
location of R front wheel). 

 

Difference between left and right 
values is below 3mm(0. 12in)

Warning: 

It’s dangerous to remove the piston rod nut, the 
shock absorber and spring may pop up due to huge 
pressure, thus it will lead to serious personal injury 
and death. Ensure that the shock absorber shall be 
installed inside SST special service tool before 
removing the piston rod nut. 

1.  Protect the spiral spring with a cloth, and then 

place SST special service tool. 

2.  Compress the spiral spring and remove the 

piston rod nut with SST special service tool.

Keypoints for installing the spiral spring 

1.  First installed on rubber shock absorber under 

the seat, make sure the lower rubber seat and 
spring seat vibration really fit into place. 

2.  Dust will take Taoka buffer block in the upper 

support. 

3.  Compress the spiral spring with SST special     
service tool. 

4.  The coil spring shock absorber up through 

from below, so that the end face of the coil 
springs under the seat under the rubber with 
the place. 

 

5.  Mounted on the end face of the bearing and so 

on are supported on the coil spring, shock

The upper support of shock absorber has wrong-
installation-proofing functions, which ensure no 
wrong installation during the installation. 

Check of front shock absorber 

1.  Remove front shock absorber from the 

vehicle. 

2.  Check the shock absorber for damages or oil 

leakage. 

3.  Check the rubber bush for aging and wears. 

4.  Compress and stretch the shock absorber 

piston at least three times, confirm the 
unchanged operating force and no abnormal 

noises. If it can’t conform to the standards, 
replace the shock absorber. 

(1)  Compress the shock absorber piston, and then 

release it. 

(2)  Confirm that the piston stretches and returns 

at normal speed. 

 

Warning for scrapping the front shock 
absorber  

  Wear the safety goggles in case of each 

drilling of shock absorber, because the high-
pressure gas in the shock absorber may inject 
the metal shavings to the eyes and faces while 
drilling. 

1.  Clamp the shock absorber down on the plane 

by making the piston down. 

2.  Drill a hole φ2-3 mm {0.08-0.12 in} in the 

position 20-30mm {0.8-1.2 in} away from the 
pipe bottom to make the gas leaked out. 

 

3.  Make the hole down. 

4.  Collect the oil by moving up and down the 

piston rod several times and cutting the pipe 
ends. 

5.  Handle the waste oil as per the waste material 

processing regulations. 

Note:  the gas applied in the shock absorber is 
nitrogen, and the oil applied in the shock absorber 
is mineral oil.
