Tire Pressure & Inflation
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE, YOU WILL NEED TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRES TO BRING THEM TO WITHIN THE RECOMMENDED
PRESSURE OF 35 – 45 PSI (POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH). USE A GAUGE TO CHECK THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE FALLS WITHIN
THIS RANGE PRIOR TO EVERY RIDE.
TO ADD AIR:
1. REMOVE THE DUST CAP FROM THE TIRE VALVE ON ONE WHEEL BY TWISTING IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE. SET ASIDE.
2. FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUR AIR PUMP TO INSERT AIR INTO THE TIRE. CHECK
PERIODICALLY WITH A GAUGE AND CONTINUE ADDING AIR UNTIL YOU REACH 35 – 45 PSI.
3. REMOVE THE AIR PUMP FROM THE VALVE AND REPLACE THE DUST CAP BY TWISTING IT ON CLOCKWISE ON THE VALVE.
4. REPEAT WITH THE OTHER TIRE.
IMPORTANT:
ONLY USE A MANUAL AIR PUMP TO INFLATE THE TIRES ON YOUR BIKE. NEVER USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR;
DOING SO MAY CAUSE THE TIRE TUBES TO POP.
