Tires

For the proper functioning of the scooter it is very important that the tires are
kept at the correct pressure.
6.2.1.

Inflating the Tires

The tires are equipped with a car valve. You can have the tires inflated at your
dealer or local gas service station, or you can do it yourself using a foot or
hand pump. To inflate the tires, remove the cap from the valve. Under-inflated
tires can reduce the range of the scooter and increase the wear on the tire
treads. For the correct tire pressure, see 'Product specifications'.
When inflating the tires, never exceed the maximum
recommended tire pressure. This value is indicated on the
tire itself. (Tires inflated to 50 psi.)
For inspection of the tires, see the 'maintenance table'.
After inflating the tires, always make sure to replace the cap
back on the valve, to avoid dirt and sand entering the valve.
6.3 Cleaning Procedures

Upholstery, metal parts and frame parts can usually be cleaned easily with a
dry soft cloth.
Removing mud and/or other wet dirt
Parts that are soiled with wet dirt can best be cleaned by first wiping the dirty
