Rider On - Segway PT x2 Reference Manual

Rider On

If the Stick Shake Warning occurs while riding, slow down. If the Stick
Shake 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:
You are clear of all obstacles and slopes.
You 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.
