WARNING: Tires must be properly inflated before riding. Never exceed the maximum pressure (PSI) that is listed
on the side of the tire.
WARNING: Be sure to check that the edge (beads) of both tires are evenly seated the entire way around on both
sides of the tire. Failure to do so may result in the tire coming off of the rim, the tube popping (see Figure 4
1
),
and a loss of control of the bicycle, causing injury or even death.
WARNING: Using a service station air hose without a pressure gauge may result in over-inflating of the tire and
popping of the tube. This could also cause irreparable damage to the tube and tire.

Use a hand pump, foot pump, or floor pump to properly inflate the tires (see Figure 4

). The maximum inflation (PSI) is
shown on each tire sidewall (see Figure 4

to ensure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure (see Figure 4

)
