CHECKS
What do you need to check before driving
your Carver?
2.1 Run-in procedure
To extend the life of your Carver and to
maintain optimal performance it is very
important to comply with the following
recommendations during the rst 500 km:
• To run in your brakes:
Brake gently and steady, and avoid
locking your front wheel.
• To run in your tyres:
Be aware that during the rst 100 km
your tyres also require a run-in period
before their full traction potential is
achieved. Thus drive with extra care
during these rst kilometres.
You should also comply with these run-in
procedures if any of these parts are replaced
at a later point.
We further recommend that you perform the
following checks before getting behind the
steering wheel. Make it a habit to perform
these checks regularly to ensure optimal
safety.
2.2 Check for any leaks
Check for any leaks both at the front and rear
of the vehicle. If you detect any signs of leaks,
contact Carver.
2.3 Tyre pressure
Make sure the tyres are inated to the correct
pressure.
Incorrect tyre pressure can lead to poor
road handling and potentially dangerous
situations and may also lead to excessive
wear, tyre blow-outs and higher battery
consumption.
Correct tyre pressures for cold tyres are as
follows:
Front: 2.5 bar
Rear: 1.7 bar
