Please check the engine label and advise what it says. Depending upon the engine, they're typically located on the top of the valve cover, on the side of the valve cover, or on the side of the block (usually under the intake manifold).

PM or Email Tommy at Affordable Tractors.
I believe he sells this model Foton.
He's a great dealer and I am sure he will help you if he can

I emailed to affordable tractors, alas, they do not know the required settings.............

If your engine runs in the upper (desirable) temp. range of 180°F to 195°F then .014" for intake and .016" for exhaust.
If your engine runs in the lower range of 140°F to 170°F then .012" for intake and .014" for exhaust.
