Inflating The Tires; Installing Front Reflector; Recommended Tire Pressures - Kogan FORTIS 700C User Manual

Step 10: Inflating the tires
Use a hand pump, foot pump, or floor pump to properly inflate the tires. The maximum
inflation (PSI) is shown on each tire sidewall (Figure 20). If your pump does not have a built in
gauge, use a separate pressure gauge to ensure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure.
WARNING: Tires must be properly inflated before riding. Never exceed the
maximum pressure (PSI) that is listed on the side of the tire.
WARNING: Be sure to check that the edge (beads) of both tires are evenly seated
the entire way around on both sides of the tire. Failure to do so may result in the tire
coming off of the rim, the tube popping (Figure 21), and a loss of control of the
bicycle, causing injury or even death.
