7English * See “Weight Limits for Riders and Cargo” on page 8 for more information on weight limits.** See “Maximizing Range” on page 11 for information on maximizing the distance you can travel on your Segway PT, and factors that can increase or reduce your range.NOTE:
8Operating LimitsIt is important that you familiarize yourself with the operating limits of the Segway PT. These limits are set to maximize rider safety while reducing the risk of damage to the Segway PT. The Segway PT will perform better when you observe these limits.Weight Limits for Riders and CargoSegway sets weight limits for two reasons: zRider safety.zTo reduce the risk of damage to the Segway PT.Dynamic Weight LimitsTo keep the Segway PT and rider upright, the Segway PT must always have enough power to be able to turn its Wheels forward and backward. Variables that require more power include:zHigher payloads (weight of rider and all cargo).zSteeper slopes.zBumpier surface conditions.zHigher speeds.zAbrupt maneuvers. Exceeding the weight limits, especially when combined with other variables that require more power, will increase your risk of falling or damaging the Segway PT.WARNING!
9EnglishThe Segway PT monitors the amount of power being used and will activate safety alerts when it senses excessive power demands. It is important that you learn to anticipate and recognize when the Segway PT is reaching the limits of performance.  Learn to recognize and respond to Safety Alerts; review “Speed Limiter” on page 48, “Stick Shake Warning” on page 51, and “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.Minimum Weight LimitThe rider’s weight must not be less than 100 lbs. (45 kg). If the rider is below the minimum rider weight limit, he/she may not be able to ride safely because he/she cannot shift his/her weight far enough back (behind the centerline of the Wheels) to safely slow down and stop. This is especially true when riding downhill. Also, riders below the minimum weight limit might fail to properly interact with the Segway PT’s balancing system.Handlebar CargoThe total weight of any Handlebar payload plus any other attachments hanging from the Handlebar must not exceed 10 lbs (4.5 kg). Exceeding this Handlebar Cargo limit interferes with the Segway PT’s balancing ability and could cause the Segway PT to accelerate forward, risking injury and damage.WARNING!
10Structural Weight LimitsExceeding the maximum weight limit increases the risk of damage to the Segway PT. Heavier payloads place greater stress on the Segway PT. Several factors affect the loads transmitted to the Segway PT:zSkill level of the rider.zPayload (weight of the rider and all cargo).zSurface condition (obstacle height, etc.). Exceeding the rider or cargo weight limits, especially when riding on uneven terrain, could damage the Segway PT.CAUTION
11EnglishMaximizing RangeMaximum range distances are provided in Table 2 on page 5. The range of your Segway PT is affected by many variables, including:zTerrain: Riding on smooth, flat terrain improves range, and riding on hilly terrain and unpaved surfaces reduces range. zSpeed and Riding Style: Riding at a consistent, moderate speed will increase range while frequent starting, stopping, acceleration, and deceleration reduces range.zTire Inflation Pressure: Riding with tire pressures below the specified limit reduces range.zRider Weight and Cargo: Lighter riders with less cargo experience better range than heavier riders with more cargo.zTemperature: Storing, charging, and riding in temperatures close to the median of the recommended temperature range improves range. Riding in colder temperatures reduces range significantly. zBattery Condition: Properly charged and maintained Batteries provide greater range. Old, cold, heavily used, or poorly maintained Batteries provide less range.zWind: Riding with a tailwind increases range. Riding against a headwind reduces range.

13Chapter 2:EnglishGetting to Know Your Segway PTThis chapter describes how the Segway PT works. It includes:zA description of the InfoKey Controller and its buttons and icons.zInformation about Segway PT components.How the Segway PT WorksThe Segway PT works like the human body. When walking, if you lean forward, you take a step forward to keep your balance. If you lean back, you step back. On a Segway PT when you lean forward or back the machine powers the Wheels in the direction that you lean. The Segway PT uses technology called dynamic stabilization to maintain its balance and move forward or backward.
14When you lean, your center of gravity moves beyond the contact patch (the place where the tire contacts the ground) causing the Segway PT to tilt. The Segway PT’s systems sense this change, powering the Wheels to keep them underneath you. See Figure 3.Figure 3. How the Seqway PT Works - Leaning Forward and BackWhen you pivot the LeanSteer Frame left, the Segway PT turns left. When you pivot the LeanSteer Frame right, the Segway PT turns right. To turn the Segway PT, point the LeanSteer Frame in the direction you want to go, keeping the Handlebar in line with your body. When the LeanSteer Frame is centered, the Segway PT travels straight ahead. See Figure 4.
15EnglishEnglishFigure 4. How Segway PT Works - TurningThe Segway PT’s dynamic stabilization technology balances forward and backward but not side-to-side. If you tip the Segway PT onto one Wheel, it will not dynamically bring itself underneath you and it could fall over. You are responsible for maintaining side-to-side stability while riding the Segway PT. To do this, keep your body aligned with the LeanSteer Frame. Lean into turns and lean uphill when riding across a slope to maintain side-to-side balance. When riding across a slope with one Wheel higher than the other, keep the LeanSteer Frame vertical to keep from turning.NOTE:
16Segway PT Components and SubsystemsThe Segway PT includes the following components and subsystems (see Figure 5): zInfoKey™ Controller zInfoKey Controller Dock zHandlebarzLeanSteer FramezTire/Wheel Assembly and FenderszConsole with Charge and Balance Indicator LightszConsole TrimzMatszPowerbase zBatteriesThe Segway PT has been designed with concern for the safety of the rider and those who may be nearby. Redundant subsystems maintain controlled operation of the Segway PT in the unlikely event of a component failure. If one component in a subsystem fails, the other component continues to operate, allowing you to come to a complete and safe stop before stepping off. The Segway PT has five redundant subsystems: Controller Boards, Motors, Batteries, the Balance Sensor Assembly, and LeanSteer Sensors.
17EnglishEnglish All Segway PT parts must be approved by Segway, and properly installed. Never attempt to stand on a Segway PT without the LeanSteer Frame attached and secured. Using your Segway PT without all parts properly installed could damage your Segway PT and result in serious injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls.WARNING! Do not modify the Segway PT. Modifications to the Segway PT without the prior written approval of Segway could interfere with the operation of the Segway PT, could result in serious injury and/or damage, and could void the Segway PT Limited Warranty. WARNING!

41EnglishEnglishUnderstanding the Rider Detect SensorsThe Segway PT has four sensors located beneath the Mats. Rider Detect Sensors detect the presence or absence of a rider while the Segway PT is powered on. When your feet are properly positioned on the Mats, all four Rider Detect sensors depress, allowing the Segway PT to operate normallyin Balance Mode.If fewer than three Rider Detect sensors are depressed while riding, the Segway PT reduces the top speed limit regardless of whetherBeginner Setting is enabled or not. Once your feet are properly positioned again, the Segway PT regains full performance.If the Segway PT is moved too quickly while in Balance Mode and none of the Rider Detect Sensors are depressed, the Segway PT will give the Stick Shake Warning before exiting Balance Mode and transitioning to Standby Mode.Rider Detect Sensors
42 To prevent a riderless Segway PT from traveling on its own, never let go of it while it is in Balance Mode. It will travel some distance on its own before shutting down, risking injury to others and damage to the Segway PT.WARNING! Never place anything on the Mats, except your feet. Doing so could interfere with the Rider Detect Sensors and allow the Segway PT to travel on its own, risking running into a person or property, and causing injury or damage.WARNING!
43EnglishEnglishController BoardsFigure 12 shows the location of the Controller Boards. Figure 12. Location of Controller BoardsThe two Controller Boards receive input from the Segway PT’s Batteries, Motors, Rider Detect Sensors, LeanSteer Sensors, rate and tilt sensors. Based on this input, the Controller Boards send commands to the Motors that turn the Wheels. If the system senses a malfunction in a critical component or a Battery that is depleted beyond its safe limit, the Segway PT will perform a Safety Shutdown. For more information on Safety Shutdown, see “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.
44MotorsFigure 13 shows the location of the Motors. Figure 13. Location of MotorsEach Wheel is independently driven by redundant, high-speed electric Motors that are quiet and efficient. Each Motor is computer-controlled to precisely regulate the Segway PT’s motion.Each Motor is wound as two separate electrical circuits, capable of independent operation, acting as one mechanical entity. If either winding in a Motor fails, the Segway PT will perform a Safety Shutdown. For more information on Safety Shutdown, see “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.
45EnglishEnglishBalance Sensor AssemblyFigure 14 shows the location of the Balance Sensor Assembly. Figure 14. Location of Balance Sensor AssemblyThe Balance Sensor Assembly contains five angular rate sensors (solid state gyroscopes) and two tilt sensors. The Balance Sensor Assembly sends information about the Segway PT’s orientation to the Controller Boards. All sensors are constantly monitored by the Segway PT to ensure each is operating correctly. If one of these sensors fail, the Segway PT will perform a Safety Shutdown. For more information on Safety Shutdown, see “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.
46BatteriesFigure 15 shows the location of the Batteries. Figure 15. Location of BatteriesThe two Batteries are sealed units (when properly installed) that require no maintenance other than proper charging and storage. The Batteries are interchangeable and can each be installed in either the front or rear of the Powerbase. For the Segway PT to operate, both Batteries must be installed, and both must be Li-ion Batteries. If one Battery fails or is depleted beyond its safe limit, the Segway PT will perform a Safety Shutdown. For more information on Safety Shutdown, see “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.
47Chapter 3:EnglishUnderstanding the Safety AlertsThis chapter describes the Segway PT’s safety alerts. The safety alerts include:zSpeed LimiterzStick Shake WarningzSafety ShutdownIt is important that you recognize these alerts and know how to respond appropriately before you ride your Segway PT. Read and follow all the instructions in the Getting Started Manual, this Reference Manual and watch the Safety Video for important safety information about the Speed Limiter, Stick Shake, and Safety Shutdown safety alerts. WARNING! Not every safety issue triggers an alert. For additional safety tips and guidelines, see “Avoiding Hazards” in the Getting Started Manual.NOTE:
48Speed LimiterWhen you approach the maximum allowed speed, the Segway PT’s Speed Limiter will push the Handlebar back to slow you down. (see Figure 16). Figure 16. Speed LimiterThe Segway PT’s Speed Limiter is an alert that you are moving too fast! When the Speed Limiter pushes the Handlebar back, stop leaning forward and slow down. Always leave a gap between yourself and the Handlebar as shown in Figure 17. Once you slow to a speed that the Segway PT determines is safe, it will resume normal operation and riding position. Figure 17. Gap Between Rider and Handlebar
49EnglishEnglishThe speed at which the Speed Limiter pushes the Handlebar back depends on a variety of factors including riding style, terrain, payload, whether or not the Beginner Setting is enabled, Battery condition, foot positioning, and other factors. Riding against the Handlebar can cause loss of control, collisions, falls, and injury.WARNING! Conditions that may cause the Speed Limiter to activate and show the face icon with the straight mouth along with the Warning icon, when you are traveling at less than the maximum speed allowed for your operating mode include: zRiding up a steep hillzRiding on bumpy terrainzRiding with fewer than three Rider Detect Sensors depressedzThe first few seconds after you power on and step on the PowerbasezLow Battery chargezBatteries that are too hot or too coldzRiding down a hill with fully charged Batteries Because of regenerative charging, if the Batteries are fully charged, the Segway PT will activate the Speed Limiter to avoid overcharging.NOTE:
50Table 5 shows the icons that display on the InfoKey Controller when the Speed Limiter is engaged at a speed lower than the top speed set by the InfoKey Controller. This table also describes the error that has occurred and the recommended action you should take.Table 5. Speed Limiter (Display Icon and Recommended Action)Display Icon Description Recommended ActionThe Segway PT is operating at reduced performance levels due to a temporary condition. The speed limit has been lowered until the condition clears.When the Speed Limiter pushes the Handlebar back, stop leaning forward and slow down. Always leave a gap between yourself and the Handlebar.
51EnglishEnglishStick Shake WarningOne of the ways that the Segway PT notifies you when you are at risk of falling is by shaking the Handlebar and making growling noises. This is called the Stick Shake Warning. The Stick Shake Warning can occur in conjunction with, or independent of the Speed Limiter and Safety Shutdown alert, depending on your riding situation (see Figure 18). Figure 18. Stick Shake Warning
52Rider OnIf the Stick Shake Warning occurs while riding, slow down. If the StickShake Warning persists, come to a stop and safely step off. Do not attempt to ride again until the condition that caused the persistent Stick Shake Warning has been identified and corrected. If the Stick Shake Warning occurs while you are stopped or stuck, step off immediately and do not attempt to ride again until:zYou are clear of all obstacles and slopes.zYou are certain that you did not experience a Safety Shutdown. For additional information, see “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.When riding, the Stick Shake Warning occurs if you demand too much power from the Segway PT. The Stick Shake Warning can happen when riding on a steep slope, rough terrain, or against an obstacle, or when accelerating or decelerating abruptly. The Stick Shake Warning also occurs if you ride backward too fast or if you try to step on the Segway PT when it is not ready to balance. The Stick Shake Warning is more likely to occur when your Batteries are low, cold, heavily used, or poorly maintained because there is less energy available to keep you balanced. Table 6 lists possible causes of the Stick Shake Warning and recommended actions to take when the Stick Shake Warning occurs with a Rider on the Mats.
53EnglishEnglishTable 6. Stick Shake Warning With a Rider on the MatsPossible Causes Recommended ActionRiding aggressively, accelerating or stopping abruptly.Ride more smoothly and slowly.Riding against the Handlebar causing you to demand too much power.Leave a gap between you and the Handlebar.Riding on rough terrain or steep slopes causing you to demand too much power.Ride on smoother, flatter, less demanding terrain. If on a slope, turn perpendicular to the slope, step off, and walk your Segway PT in Riderless Balance Mode.Riding against an obstruction such as a door frame or curb that stops the Wheel while you continue to demand power.Stop pushing against the obstruction. Stop, step off, and proceed by walking around the obstruction with the Segway PT in Riderless Balance Mode. Riding backwards too quickly. Stop, turn in place, and proceed forward.Safety Shutdown has begun. Come to a controlled stop and safely step off the Powerbase within 10 seconds.
54Rider OffYou do not have to be riding the Segway PT for the Stick Shake Warning to occur. The Stick Shake Warning occurs if the Segway PT is moved too quickly while in Riderless Balance Mode. Riderless Balance Mode is when the Segway PT is in Balance mode without a rider standing on the Powerbase. The Stick Shake Warning also occurs if the Wheels spin as you pull the Segway PT over a curb or up stairs.Table 7 lists possible causes of the Stick Shake Warning and recommended actions to take when the Stick Shake Warning occurs with no Rider on the Mats.Table 7. Stick Shake Warning With No Rider on the MatsPossible Causes Recommended ActionMoving a Segway PT too quickly with no rider on the Powerbase while in Riderless Balance Mode.When moving your Segway PT in Riderless Balance Mode, you must move slowly and carefully. Always keep the Segway PT below you (lead it up stairs or slopes and keep it below you when descending stairs or slopes). Stepping on the Segway PT when it is powered on, but not ready to for you to step on.Step off, center the LeanSteer Frame, and level the Powerbase. Once the center Balance Indicator light turns green, step on again.
55EnglishEnglish Safety ShutdownIf the Segway PT detects a fault in any of its redundant systems or a Battery is depleted beyond its safe limit, it performs a Safety Shutdown (see Figure 19).Figure 19. Safety ShutdownWhen a Safety Shutdown occurs, the Segway PT automatically reduces its speed, gives the Stick Shake Warning (shakes the Handlebar and makes growling noises), flashes the Balance Indicator lights, emits a warning tone, and the InfoKey Controller displays an unhappy face.
56You have approximately 10 seconds from the start of a Safety Shutdown to come to a controlled stop and step off. After 10 seconds, the Segway PT will immediately shut down when the Wheels reach zero speed. If a Safety Shutdown occurs: 1. Immediately come to a controlled stop. 2. Carefully step off one foot at a time.
57EnglishEnglish Never restart and ride your Segway PT after it has indicated an empty Battery condition or performed Safety Shutdown due to low Battery. The Segway PT may not have enough power to keep you balanced, especially if you demand a lot of power at once. If you restart and continue riding, you risk falling. Also, you risk damaging your Batteries, resulting in reduced Battery life and capacity. If the condition persists, contact an Authorized Segway Dealer or Distributor. WARNING! Theft detection systems, such as the type used in some libraries and retail stores can interfere with the Segway PT’s ability to balance and/or cause the Segway PT to perform a Safety Shutdown. Do not ride within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any theft detection system.WARNING!
58Table 8 shows the InfoKey Controller icon that displays when a Safety Shutdown occurs. The table also describes the recommended action you should take.Table 8. Safety Shutdown (Icon and Recommended Action)Display Icon Description Recommended ActionThe system has detected a fault and is slowing to zero speed before shutdown (full Segway PT Battery charge level shown).If a Safety Shutdown occurs: 1. Immediately come to a controlled stop. 2. Carefully step off one foot at a time. You have approximately 10 seconds from the start of the Safety Shutdown to come to a controlled stop and step off the Powerbase. Do not resume use of your Segway PT after a Safety Shutdown has occurred until you have identified and corrected the condition that caused it. See “Troubleshooting the Segway PT” on page 119.
59EnglishEnglishEmpty Battery ConditionThe Segway PT notifies you of a pending empty Battery condition before starting a Safety Shutdown. An unhappy face icon displays on the InfoKey Controller, the Segway PT’s speed is limited, and the Segway PT emits a warning tone. Whenever the Segway PT notifies you of a pending empty Battery condition, come to a controlled stop and safely step off of the Segway PT before the Safety Shutdown begins. Table 9 shows the InfoKey Controller icon that displays when a pending empty Battery notification occurs. The table also describes the recommended action you should take.Table 9. Empty Battery Condition (Icon and Recommended Action)Display Icon Description Recommended ActionThe system has detected and notified you of a pending empty Battery condition. Come to a controlled stop and safely step off of the Segway PT before the Safety Shutdown begins. Do not resume use of your Segway PT until you have charged the Batteries.
60 In some cases, old, cold, heavily used, or poorly maintained Batteries may develop a high resistance condition. This can cause a pending empty Battery condition to occur even if the Batteries were recently charged.NOTE:

69EnglishEnglishBattery Charge Indicator LightsTwo Charge Indicator lights on the Console indicate the charge status of the Batteries when the Segway PT is plugged in. The front Charge Indicator light corresponds to the front Battery and the rear Charge Indicator light corresponds to the rear Battery (see Figure 23). Figure 23. Location of Battery Charge IndicatorsThe Charge Indicator lights provide independent information regarding whether each Battery is charging. When the Segway PT is plugged in and charging, both Charge Indicator lights will be flashing or solid green.If one or both Charge Indicator lights is red or fails to illuminate, there is a charging problem with the corresponding Battery.  For more information, see “Charging Failures” on page 70.FrontRear
70Charging FailuresIf a failure is detected during charging, all charging will stop. Depending on the nature of the failure, a solid red Charge Indicator light displays or the Charge Indicator light is off.If either or both Charge Indicator lights are red or off, check the following:1. If the Charge Indicator lights are off (no illumination), check that AC power is present, and ensure the Power Cord is full seated in the Charge Port.2. If AC power is present and the Charge Indicator lights are either red or off, unplug the power cord, then remove and reseat the Battery Pack(s).  For instructions, see “Removing the Batteries” on page 100 and “Reattaching the Batteries” on page 102.3. If these actions fail to resolve the problem, contact an Authorized Segway Dealer or Distributor.Regenerative BrakingThe Segway PT has a regenerative braking system that charges the Batteries when descending a hill or slowing down.When you ride down a hill, you may notice an increase in the Battery charge level. If your Batteries are already completely full at the top of a hill, when you descend, you may feel the Speed Limiter engage to keep the Segway PT from overcharging its Batteries. For more information on the Speed Limiter, see “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.
71EnglishEnglishReading the Battery Charge Level DisplayThe horizontal bars on the left side of the InfoKey Controller display indicate the levels of the charge in the Segway PT Batteries. Figure 24 shows how the Segway PT Battery Gauge on the InfoKey Controller changes as the Battery is depleted.Figure 24. InfoKey Controller Display with Battery Charge Being DepletedThe more charge the Batteries contain, the more horizontal bars are shown. If the Battery charge level is very low, the Segway PT will notify you of a pending empty Battery condition prior to initiating Safety Shutdown. For more information, see “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.Do not ride your Segway PT if there is inadequate charge in the Batteries (indicated by the unhappy face icon on the InfoKey Controller and no dark horizontal lines on the Battery Charge display). Carefully monitor your Segway PT Battery Gauge and be prepared to step off if your Battery charge becomes completely depleted.Full Charge Low Charge
72Surface Charge (Partial Charge)Whenever you do not fully charge the Segway PT’s Batteries, surface charge or partial charge may affect the accuracy of the Battery charge level display, causing it to show a higher charge level than actually exists.After you power on, check the Battery charge level display and then ride for at least three or four minutes and check the Battery charge level display again. If the Battery charge level display shows rapid charge depletion during this time, the Batteries have received only a surface charge. If necessary, plug the Segway PT back in and recharge.Recalibrating the DisplayThe Segway PT indicates the Battery charge level in the InfoKey Controller, as described in “Reading the Battery Charge Level Display” on page 71. The display may be inaccurate after long periods of storage, or during initial use. To recalibrate the display:1. Fully charge the Batteries for 12 hours. 2. Discharge the Batteries until the bottom bar in the Display is blinking (approximately 10 percent Battery charge remaining). The InfoKey Controller will display the following:3. Leave your Segway PT in a safe, secure location, powered on, until the Battery charge is fully depleted, and your Segway PT powers down.
73EnglishEnglish4. Fully recharge the Batteries for a minimum of 12 hours, after which the Battery Charge Level Display will be recalibrated. Depleting your Segway PT Batteries from the bottom bar to empty could take several hours, depending on Battery condition and the amount of charge remaining.NOTE: Do not ride your Segway PT to full Battery depletion. To safely discharge Batteries below the bottom bar, you should leave your Segway PT powered on in Balance Mode leaning against a wall in a secure location. WARNING! To avoid injury, damage, and to deter theft, be sure your Segway PT discharges in a safe, secure location, powered on in Riderless Balance Mode.CAUTION
74How Temperature Affects PerformanceThe Batteries are usually significantly warmer than the air temperature due to heating that occurs as electricity is delivered from them (while riding) and to them (while charging.)Riding in Hot or Cold TemperaturesThe Batteries will run at the highest efficiency when you operate them nearest the center of the recommended operating temperature range. If the Batteries on your Segway PT become too hot or too cold while riding, the Segway PT may activate a safety alert. For more information, see “Understanding the Safety Alerts” on page 47.
75EnglishEnglishTable 11 shows the InfoKey Controller icon that displays when your Segway PT Batteries become too hot or too cold.As with all batteries, less energy is available at low battery temperatures. You may not be able to travel the same distance when the Batteries are cold, as when the Batteries are nearer to room temperature.Table 11. Riding in Hot and Cold Temperatures (Icon and Recommended Action)Display Icon Description Recommended ActionSpeed Limiter or Stick Shake WarningRespond as instructed in Chapter 3, “Understanding the Safety Alerts.” Allow your Batteries to warm or cool to within the recommended operating temperature range prior to riding. For more information, see “Temperature Ranges” on page 63.Safety Shutdown
76Charging in Hot or Cold TemperaturesYour Batteries should be within the recommended charging temperature range prior to and during charging.  For the recommended Battery charging temperature range, see “Temperature Ranges” on page 63. The Batteries will charge most efficiently when they are nearest the center of the recommended charging temperature range.If your Batteries are too hot or too cold, they may take longer to charge, or they may not charge at all. If you are concerned that the Batteries may be too cold or overheated during charging, see “Charging Failures” on page 70.
77EnglishEnglishReplacing BatteriesYour Segway PT is powered by two rechargeable Li-ion Batteries. With normal usage and proper maintenance, Batteries should last the equivalent of 600 to 1000 full charges. As your Batteries near the end of their useful life, they need more frequent charging and your Segway PT’s range will be reduced. To order replacement Batteries, contact an Authorized Segway Dealer or Distributor.Replacing Batteries in PairsWhenever you need to replace a Battery, consider replacing both Batteries, and always use pairs of Batteries with the same chem-istry. Replacing only one Battery will not necessarily increase the performance or range of your Segway PT, because the Segway PT is designed to operate only at the level allowed by the lower-energy Battery. Redundancy is a critical safety feature built into the Segway PT that also applies to the Batteries. Therefore, you should replace Batteries in pairs (except for the unusual situation where a Bat-tery is replaced because of damage or defect and the other Bat-tery is relatively new).  For information on removing and reseating Batteries, see “Removing the Batteries” on page 100 and “Reattaching the Batteries” on page 102.
78Transporting and Shipping BatteriesIf you are transporting your Segway PT, protect the Batteries to avoid damage during shipment. Do not expose the Batteries to direct heat or moisture, and avoid heavy vibration during transportation. Do not use or transport a Battery if the casing breaks open, leaks any substance, becomes excessively hot, or if you detect an unusual odor.Do not handle a damaged or leaking Battery unless you are wearing disposable rubber gloves, eye protection, and are in a well-ventilated area. Dispose of the rubber gloves and damaged Battery properly in accordance with regulations governing disposal of toxic materials.WARNING!

Checking the Tire/Wheel AssemblyTo check the Tires and Wheels:1. Make sure the Segway PT is unplugged and powered off.2. Check for Wheel wobble by grasping the Tire/Wheel Assembly and attempt to move it side-to-side. The Tire/Wheel Assembly should not move laterally. If you detect Wheel wobble, check the Wheel nut and tighten if necessary.  For additional information regarding service procedures for the Tire/Wheel Assembly, see “Installing the Tire/Wheel Assembly” on page 107.Checking Tire Inflation PressureThe Tires on the Segway PT provide suspension and traction. Both functions are affected by the tire inflation pressure. Be sure to: 1. Make sure the Segway PT is unplugged and powered off.2. Check tire inflation pressure regularly. Improperly inflated Tires will result in less than optimal range.3. If tire inflation pressure in either Tire is not at the level stated in the “Segway PT Specifications” on page 5 for your Segway PT model, inflate the Tire to the specified pressure.4. Check that both Tires are inflated equally and are free of debris or contaminates.
85EnglishEnglish The tire pressure stated on any affixed Wheel label (near the inflation valve) supersedes any recommended pressure stated on the Tires. Higher pressure reduces suspension performance and traction, and increases risk of loss of control, collisions, and falls.Lower pressure reduces range and increases risk of damage to the Tire/ Wheel Assembly.Unequal pressure causes the Segway PT to turn in the direction of the lower pressure tire.WARNING!
86Cleaning Your Segway PTTo clean your Segway PT: 1. Make sure the Segway PT is unplugged and powered off.2. Always close the Charge Port Cover after charging, and prior to cleaning.3. Gently clean your Segway PT with soap and water and a soft cloth.
