• Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each use
and while inflating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.

similar equipment used to inflate tires
can fill small tires similar to these very
rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on

of the tire pressure. Add air in small
increments and frequently use the tire
gauge to prevent over inflation.
