Maintenance
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure the product continues to operate properly.
If any part of the product does not operate properly – discontinue use.
Keep the product clean and free of dirt, dust and water. This will prolong the useful life
of the product.
Check all screws and fasteners, re-tighten any that are loose. Replace any fasteners
that are damaged.
WARNING: If anything does not operate properly, discontinue use.
Tires
Maintenance:
• Frequently check the tire infl ation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over
time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the bicycle off the tires.
• Do not use unregulated air hoses to infl ate the inner tubes. An unregulated hose
can suddenly over infl ate tires and cause them to burst.
• Replace worn tires.
WARNING: Do not ride or sit on the unit if a tire is under infl ated. This can
damage the tire and inner tube.
Rear Tires:
Note: The hard plastic rear wheels are designed for stability and safety. The wear
rate of these plastic wheels depends on the surface the product is used on, and the
severity of use.
Infl ating the Front Tire:
• Use a hand or a foot pump to infl ate the tire.
• Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also acceptable.
• The maximum infl ation pressure is shown on the tire sidewall.
• If two infl 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 infl ation pressure.
