PRI - Tire inspection
The condition of your scooter’s tires is vital for operational ef-
ficiency and your safety. Check the tires’ inflation pressure,
the tread depth, and look for damage before each ride.
OPERATION
1. Measure and adjust the tire pressure when the tires are
touching the ground (with no one seated on the scooter).
NOTE: Measure the pressure before riding, as the heat
generated during operation may cause improper readings.
Do not inflate the tires beyond
35.0 PSI ( 2.5 kg/cm
2
).
Front tire (rider only):
25.0 PSI (1.75 kg/cm
2
)
Rear tire (rider only):
29.0 PSI (2.0 kg/cm
2
)
Front tire (rider & passenger): 25.0 PSI (1.75 kg/cm
2
)
Rear tire (rider & passenger): 32.0 PSI ( 2.25 kg/cm
2
)
2. Inspect the tires for nails, screws and other objects

that
may be imbedded into the rubber.

. If
the tread is worn smooth at these points, the tire must
be replaced.
