to improve traction performance in
snow and mud conditions.

when accelerating, braking, turning corners
and working at high speed on the machine.
It is important to use these wheels with
caution, not only in the presence of mud
or snow, but also on damp ground.

Do not use the machine for riding over
unstable, slippery, icy, stony, rough, marshy
ground or puddles that do not allow the
consistency of the ground to be assessed.
