Filling with air

Low air pressure in the tyre will cause abnormal wear and a shorter travelling
range. So, check regularly that the pressure in the front tyres is up to 200 kPa.
(2 bar).

Unscrew the plastic cap on the drive wheel air valve.

Attach a compressed air nozzle to the air valve and adjust the tyre-
pressure to the prescribed level.

The recommended air pressure is 200 kPa (2 bar). Overfilling entails the
risk of explosion.
