WHEELS AND TIRES

Golden Companion scooters are equipped with split-rim wheels with pneumatic and foam-filled tires.

WARNING: Golden Technologies, Inc. does not recommend that you disas- semble the tire from the splitrim wheels. Consult your authorized Golden Companion dealer for as- sistance with this matter. If you must disassemble a pneumatic tire from the split rim, the tire must be completely deflated.

If the tire is not completely de- flated, serious injury may occur.
