Where to Position the Jack When Changing a Spare Tire on the Baojun 730?
2 Answers
When changing a spare tire on the Baojun 730, the jack should generally be positioned on the raised section of the side rail near the tire being replaced. Prepare the tools: Gather the necessary tools for changing the spare tire, including a wrench and a jack. Position the jack under the vehicle: Place the jack under the vehicle, where there is a designated slot for the jack. Replace the tire: Once the jack is in place, remove the tire. Be cautious as the jack may shift during the installation of the spare tire. Place the removed tire under the vehicle to minimize the risk of accidents. Tighten the wheel bolts: First, screw in one bolt, then proceed to tighten all the bolts. Typically, the same number of turns should be applied to each bolt to ensure even distribution of force. Remove the jack: Slowly release the jack and remove it, allowing the car to settle steadily on the ground.
I've had several tire blowouts on the highway while driving my Baojun 730, and each time I changed the spare tire according to the manual. The jack must be placed under the chassis at the designated reinforced points near the tire, usually on the frame rail next to the wheel where you'll see small notches or markings. Never place the jack on the suspension arm or exhaust pipe, as this can cause body deformation or the jack to slip, which is extremely dangerous. Remember to engage the handbrake, put the car in park, and set up the warning triangle. During my own experience, I also checked the spare tire pressure to ensure it was normal before installation. After changing, tighten the wheel bolts and slowly lower the jack to ensure safety and stability, avoiding rework. Experience has taught me that familiarizing yourself with the locations beforehand can reduce panic on the road.
