CHECKING THE BATTERY

Inflation pressure and tire tread should be regularly 

checked. In order to ensure maximum safety and 

longer service life, inflation pressure requires more 

frequent routine check.

Tire Pressure

Insufficient tire pressure will not only accelerate 

wearing, but also have bad impact on driving stability 

such as making turning difficult. However, too high 

pressure will reduce the contact area between tire 

and ground, thus causing slipping or even getting out 

of control. Tire pressure should be kept in the stan-

WARNING

!

Do not use a fuse or bulb of a higher amperage
