Segway Villain SX10 Owner's Manual page 15

• Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water or water deeper than the
floorboards on this model. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced
stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply the
brake several times to let friction dry out the linings.
• Always be sure there are no obstacles or people are behind you when you
operate in reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.
• Always check terrain before going down hills. Go as slowly as possible. Never
go down a hill at high speed.
• Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
• Do not brake abruptly when carrying loads in the cargo bed.
• Always use the size and type of tires specified in this manual.
• Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
• Never exceed the stated cargo load capacity. Cargo should be as far forward
in the bed as possible, and distributed evenly from side to side. Be sure cargo
is secured so that it cannot move around during operation. Reduce your
speed and follow the instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or pulling
a trailer. Allow a greater distance for braking.
• Brake discs can be over heated after continuous braking. Allow brake disc to
cool before servicing.
• Avoid the risks related to contact with hot surfaces, including residual risks
such as filling oil or coolant in hot engines or transmissions.
