TIRES

Recommended operating tire pressure is approximately 14 p.s.i. on 14 inch tires and 20 p.s.i. on 16 inch tires. (Check sidewall of tire for tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure). Maximum tire pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire pressure should be maintained on both tires.

When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat beads.

WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30 p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury.
