Instructions for maintenance

4.2.1 Wheels and tyres

Proper working of the brakes depends on the state of the tyres, that can change due to wear
and contamination (water, oil, mud, ...).
•
Keep your wheels free of wires, hair, sand and fibres.
•
Check the profile of the tyres. If the tread depth is less than 1 mm, the tyres need to be
replaced. Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
•
Inflate the pneumatic tyres to the correct pressure (see pressure indication on the tyres).
•
For instructions on how to change the tyres, see the installation manual.
