Assembly A B B A A WARNING: Serrations on the mating C surfaces of the clamp can wear with use and adjustment.
Tires (as equipped) A Assembly MAINTENANCE: • Frequently check the tire inflation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For extended storage, keep weight off of the tires. • Do not use unregulated air hoses to inflate the tire/tubes. An unregulated hose can suddenly over inflate tires and cause them to burst. • Replace worn tires. WARNING : Do not ride or sit on the unit if a tire is under inflated. This can damage the tire, inner tube and rim.
