NOTE : Tire pressure should only be measured or adjusted when tires are cold.
| Recommended Pressure | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 15 PSI | 12 PSI |
WARNING:
Check the tire pressure carefully while inflating. Too much air in the tire
could cause the tire to burst, causing serious personal injury.
