4.5. RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURES
Tires must be inflated and periodically checked and re-inflated using a
pump with an accurate pressure gauge.
Pump the tires up to your desired pressure. Refer to the tires’ sidewall for
pressure range. Check your wheel manual or decal on the rim itself to see
if your wheels have a maximum pressure limit. Do not exceed it.
Please refer to the Tires and Tubes section of your Specialized
Bicycle Owner’s Manual for additional information.
WARNING! Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure
marked on the tire’s sidewall or the maximum pressure limit
specified by the wheel manufacturer, whichever is lower. Failure
to follow this warning may cause the tire to blow off the rim and
may result in serious personal injury.
5. ASSEMBLY
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive assembly, use, service,
repair, or maintenance guide. Please see an Authorized Specialized
Retailer for all service, repairs, or maintenance. Your Authorized
Specialized Retailer may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics, or
books on bicycle use, service, repair, and maintenance.
WARNING! Use a sturdy repair stand to support the bicycle during
assembly or maintenance and a bicycle rack for transportation.
When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp
the stand to the seatpost and not the frame. Clamping the frame
can cause damage to the frame that may or may not be visible,
and can cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! Many components on the bicycle are proprietary. Use
of other components or hardware can compromise the integrity
and strength of the assembly. Model components should only be
used on the same model and not on other bicycles, even if they
fit. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING! Never modify your frame or components in any way. Do
not sand, drill, file, or remove parts. Do not install incompatible
forks or components. An improperly modified frame, fork, or
component, can cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! Before your first ride and regularly thereafter, ensure
the pedals are tightened to specification. Pedals can loosen over
time depending on the type and frequency of use. This is especially
true if they were not installed properly. Riding with loose pedals may
damage the threads and the pedal may disengage from the crank,
which can result in a loss of control of the bicycle.
