C. MAINTENANCE TIPS

1. Axles & Axle Sleeves:

Check axles and axle sleeves every six months to make sure they are tight. 
Loose sleeves will damage the axle plate and will affect performance.

Check air pressure in pneumatic tires at least ONCE A WEEK. The wheel
locks will not grip properly if you fail to maintain the air pressure shown on
tire sidewall.

Clean the painted surfaces with mild soap at least once a month.

(not wet) cloth.
