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.
