Check Tire Pressures

Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained at the levels shown in the chart. Note that these pressures may differ slightly from the “Max Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper traction, improve cut quality, and extend tire life.

Front (S/N: 2013129510 & Below)	40 psi (2,76 bar)
Front (S/N: 2013129511 & Above)	25 psi (1,72 bar)
Rear	15 psi (1,03 bar)

Seat Adjustment

See Figure 3. The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever (A, Figure 3) forward, position the seat as desired, and release the lever to lock the seat into position.
