CHECKING/INFLATING
1. Using an air pressure gauge, measure the air pressure
in each tire. Adjust the air pressure as necessary to
meet the recommended inflation pressure.
2. Inspect the tires for damage, wear, or punctures.
NOTE: If repair is needed, follow the instructions
found on the tire repair kit or remove the wheel and
have it repaired professionally.
NOTE: Be sure all tires are the specified size and
have identical tread pattern.
