Use/Operation Method and Notices:
y During gearshift, fully step down the
clutch pedal and move shift lever to
the chosen position, and shift it to
the position by little force. If it
doesn’t shift successfully, shift to the
position by stepping down the clutch
pedal again. Release the driver from
the engine torque and then operate
the gearshift lever for gearshift
rapidly.
y The low speed gear should be used
for downward slopes and turns. The
slide with disengaged clutch is not
allowed.
y When shifting the transmission from
low gear to high gear, do not
conduct gear skip operation;
otherwise the service life of the
synchronizer will be affected.
y The forced gearshift by means of
synchronizer to start the engine
under neutral gear and engine stall
status is strictly prohibited;
otherwise the service life of the
synchronizer will be affected.
y The flap method (namely the
operation method of one pulling and
one releasing) is strictly prohibited
during gearshift. Please always hold
the transmission lever with hand so
as to greatly reduce the slide and
friction time and the worn-out of the
synchronizer lock ring.
y After shifting, do not leave your
hand on the gear selector lever
during driving; otherwise it will
result in the early worn-out of the
gearshift fork.
y In case of the detection of any
abnormal evidences such as
abnormal noise of the transmission
or the obvious heavier operation
during use, please stop the vehicle
for inspection immediately and
continue the driving once the trouble
is resolved.
y During normal driving, don’t put
feet on the clutch pedal to avoid
unnecessary clutch wear.
Steering
In order to avoid the damage of power
steering system, please read the following
items carefully:
y The time when rotating the steering
wheel to the end (to left dead point

y When the power steering liquid in
the power steering liquid reservoir is
lower than MIN mark, please refill
Shifting gear in reverse
direction is prohibited while
driving, or else the
