TIRE PRESSURE – PNEUMATIC TIRES

If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on

each tire.

WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire

be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your

tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control and overinflated tires may burst. Failure

to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tires at all times may

result in tire and/or wheel failure.

Regularly inspect your scooter’s tires for signs of damage or wear.
