Maintaining Tires and Wheels
To ensure safe and efficient operation of your Segway PT, be sure to
check Tires and Wheels regularly, especially if you have recently
performed service on a Tire/Wheel Assembly.
Checking the Tire/Wheel Assembly
To 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 Pressure
The 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.
