Tires
Maintenance:
• Frequently check the tire ination pressure because all tires lose air slowly over
time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the model off the tires.
• Do not use unregulated air hoses to inate the inner tubes. An unregulated hose
can suddenly over inate model tires and cause them to burst.
• Replace worn tires.
CAUTION: Do not ride or sit on the model if a tire is under inated. This can
damage the tire and inner tube.
Inating the Tires:
• Use a hand or a foot pump to inate the tires.
• Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also acceptable.
• The maximum ination pressure is shown on the tire sidewall.
• If two ination pressures are on the tire sidewall, use the higher pressure for on-
road riding and the lower pressure for off-road riding.
• The lower pressure will provide better tire traction and a more comfortable ride.
Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of the tire (the bead) is the same
distance from the rim, all around the rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not
appear to be seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push the
bead of the tire into the rim where necessary. Add air slowly and stop frequently to
check the tire seating and the pressure, until you reach the correct ination pressure.

Recommended Tire Pressure
(kilopascals):
Frequently check the tire ination
pressure because all tires lose air
slowly over time. For extended
storage, keep the weight of the product
off the tires.
Recommended tire pressure is marked
on the side of the tire. Conversion from
PSI to Kilopascals is shown here.
