Segway Personal Transporter Recommended Preventive
Maintenance Checklist
1. Make sure the Segway PT is unplugged and powered off. Inspect the Segway PT from top to
bottom to ensure that no part is damaged or loose. Start at the top of the PT with the
handlebars and work your way down to the wheels and tires. If a part is damaged and/or loose
refer to the appropriate part installation document for instructions on how to correctly install a
replacement part. If there are no instructions available for a particular damaged part, please call
your Authorized Segway Dealer or Distributor. Please refer to your Segway PT Reference
Manual for more details on the location of machine components. If you do not have your
Segway PT Reference Manual visit
2. Inspect the LeanSteer™ frame for tightness; the LeanSteer™ wedge and bolt should be
torqued to 11 N-m. (See LeanSteer™ Frame Wedge & Bolt install instructions in the Segway
PT Reference Manual for details.) Make sure the Segway PT is unplugged and powered off. Tilt
the LeanSteer™ frame fully to the left and then right, until it touches each fender. Release the
LeanSteer™ and verify that it returns to a straight-up position perpendicular to the PT's chassis.
The LeanSteer™ frame should be replaced if any part is bent or otherwise broken.
3. Check that all fasteners are in place, secured and torqued to specifications set forth in the
Recommended Segway PT Maintenance Schedule table on page 11. Adhere to torque
specifications when tightening fasteners. Over-tightening or under-tightening fasteners can
result in damage or malfunction.
4. Check that the mats are intact, secured and free of debris. It is appropriate to replace a mat if
any worn edges or tears are observed. For replacement instructions please see the Segway PT
Reference Manual.
5. Check tires and wheels for wear, tightness and tire pressure. i2 tires should be inflated to 15
psi, x2 and x2 Turf tires to 4 psi. Wheel nuts should be torque to 30 N-m.
Excess tire wear is determined as follows:
•
Model i2—Center rib is worn flush with tire surface
•
Model x2—Diamond pattern on center rib is no longer visible
•
Model x2 Turf—Tire tread depth is less than 3/32" (2.38mm)
See page 10 of this document for visual examples.
6. Power the Segway PT on and off twice to
ensure it is able to power on and off reliably.
Confirm that the Wireless InfoKey controller is
displaying a "happy face" icon as seen in the
image to the right.
7. Check that the fenders are intact, secured and free of debris. The fenders on the Segway PT
are designed to protect the rider from debris. The fender will also shield the rider from having
the tire rub against their leg while leaning in turns. Cracked or otherwise broken fenders should
be replaced. For replacement instructions please see the Segway PT Reference Manual.
8. Turn on the Segway PT and test the rider detect sensors. See the Segway PT Reference
Manual for more details. When your feet are properly positioned on the rider mats, all four rider
detect sensors depress, allowing the Segway PT to operate normally in Balance Mode.
