Brake System - Segway AT5 S Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes that are
activated by stepping on brake pedal or moving brake lever
towards the handlebars. The brakes are self-regulating. As the
brake pads/disc wears away, the brake fluid level will drop. Also,
leakage in the system will cause the brake fluid level to drop.
Brake fluid levels must be checked periodically: overfilling of the brake
reservoir may cause brake resistance or brake locking, which may
result in serious injury or death. Keep brake fluid at the
recommended level and do not overfill. Check brake pads and brake
disc wear regularly: if brake disc or pad is worn, must be replaced.
The following inspection is recommended to keep the braking
system in good working condition. If the brake is in heavy use
during normal operation, check it more frequently.
1. Always keep the brake fluid at an appropriate level. Refer
to pages 110 - 111 for details.
2. Check the brake system for brake fluid leakage.
3. Check whether the brake travel is too long or feels soft.
4. Check whether the friction gasket is worn, damaged or loose.
When replacing the brake gasket, the brake pad must be
replaced when the remaining limit thickness of the brake pad
is not less than 1.5 mm.
5. Check the safety and surface condition of the disc. Use
quality brake cleaner to clean any grease. Do not use spray
lubricants or other petroleum-based products on brake
components. If any damage (crack, excessive corrosion,
warping) is found, ask Segway Powesports service for repair
before operation.
