TIRES
Recommended operating tire pressure is
approximately 20 p.s.i. (check sidewall of tire for tire
manufacturer’s recommended pressure). Maximum
tire pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i.
Equal tire pressure should be maintained on both
tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is
clean and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim
generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat
beads.
WARNING:
Excessive pressure (over
30 p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause
tire/rim assembly to burst with force
sufficient to cause serious injury.
