WARNING:
Risk of bursting. Use a tire pressure gauge to
check the tires pressure before each use and while inflating
tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE:
Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment
used to inflate tires can fill small tires similar to these
very rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to
no more than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in
small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to
prevent over inflation.
