INFLATE ALL TIRES BEFORE RIDING!
• Use a hand or a foot pump to in ate the tires.
• Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also acceptable.
• The maximum in ation pressure is shown on the tire sidewall.
Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of the tire (the bead) is the same distance
from the rim, all around the rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not appear to be
seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push the bead of the tire into
the rim where necessary. Add air slowly and stop frequently to check the tire seating and the
pressure, until you reach the correct in ation pressure.
