General Safety Precautions
Safety Conventions
The following safety messaging conventions are used throughout this document:

WARNING! Warns you about actions that could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION! Warns you about actions that could result in minor or moderate injury.
Indicates information considered important, but not related to personal injury. Examples
NOTICE
include messages regarding possible damage to the PT or other property, or usage tips.

Important Safety Notices


Read and follow all safety notices.

General
WARNING!
• Failure to follow these safety precautions could lead to electrical shock, serious injury, death, or damage to property.
• To replace parts on the Segway PT, you must read and follow all instructions and warnings in this Service Manual.
• Always power off the Segway PT before performing any maintenance or installing any part or accessory.
• Always unplug the AC power cord before performing any maintenance or installing any part or accessory.

Batteries
WARNING!
• Do not use the battery if the battery casing is broken or if the battery emits an unusual odor, smoke, or excessive
heat, or leaks any substance. Avoid contact with any substance seeping from the battery. Batteries contain toxic and
corrosive materials that could cause serious injury.
• As with all rechargeable batteries, do not charge near flammable materials. When charging, the batteries heat up and
could ignite a fire.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets. Exposure to battery voltage could result in death or serious injury.
• Observe and follow all safety information on the warning label found on the battery.
• Use only Segway-approved charging devices to charge the batteries.
• Do not attempt to open batteries. Do not insert any object into the batteries or use any device to pry at the battery
casing. If you insert an object into any of the battery ports or openings you could suffer electric shock, injury, burns,
or cause a fire. Attempting to open the battery casing will damage the casing and could release toxic and harmful
substances, and will render the battery unusable.
• Do not submerge the PT, batteries, or powerbases in water. Do not use a power washer or high-pressure hose to clean
a PT. Avoid getting water into any of the connectors. Avoid exposing the Segway PT to heavy downpours or extended
periods of heavy rain. If you suspect the batteries or powerbase have been submerged or experienced water intrusion,
call Segway Technical Support immediately at 1-866-473-4929, prompt #2. Until you receive further instructions, store
the PT upright, outdoors, and away from flammable objects. Failure to do so could expose you to electric shock, injury,
burns, or cause a fire.
• Comply with all local and federal or individual country laws when disposing of and transporting Segway PT batteries.
• Failure to adhere to these warnings could lead to serious injury, death, fire, or damage to property.

Segway Personal Transporter SE Service Manual ix


General Safety Precautions

Fasteners
WARNING!
• Use only Segway-approved fasteners. Other fasteners may not perform as expected and may come loose.
• Do not tighten or reuse any fastener except the screws used to attach the batteries, wheel nuts, and LeanSteer frame.
Instead, when any other fastener is loose or removed, replace the fastener with a new Segway-approved fastener. See
“Fasteners,” page C–1, for more information.
• Before using a fastener, make certain the fastener is the correct size and type with any necessary washer and thread
lock in place (see Table C–1, p. C–2).
• Since the pre-applied thread lock compound is intended for single use only, reuse of fasteners is not permitted with the
exception of the wheel nuts, battery fasteners, and LeanSteer frame fasteners.
• Do not attempt to repair any stripped or damaged screw hole. Instead, replace the part. If a replacement part is not
available, do not reassemble.
• Insert fasteners slowly and carefully. Do not cross-thread or over-tighten fasteners. Tighten only to the prescribed
torque.
• At the factory, Segway installs self-tapping fasteners intended for one-time use only. Service replacement fasteners are
not self-tapping and, therefore, may differ slightly in appearance from the comparable factory-installed fasteners.
• Failure to adhere to these warnings could lead to serious injury or death or damage to property.

Eye Protection
WARNING!
• When procedures require the use of safety glasses (such as those in which a mallet or solvent is used), failure to wear
eye protection could result in serious injury.

ESD Procedures
CAUTION!
• When a repair involves opening the console or chassis cover, best-practice electrostatic discharge (ESD) control
procedures must be followed. Failure to follow ESD procedures could result in personal injury or damage to property.

SOLVENTS
CAUTION!
• This manual refers to the use of isopropyl alcohol and ammonia or ammonia-based window cleaner in certain cleaning
procedures. Use of any other type of solvent is not allowed.

Questions
WARNING!
• If you have any questions about the instructions in this guide, please contact a Segway Service Representative to avoid
confusion leading to serious injury or death or damage to property.

• Read all instructions. Battery Kit (20878-00001)
• Power off the Segway PT. 1 Li-ion Battery
• Unplug the Segway PT. 4 Fasteners
• Do not use the battery if the battery casing is broken or if the battery
emits an unusual odor, smoke, or excessive heat, or leaks any
substance. Avoid contact with any substance seeping from the battery.
Batteries contain toxic and corrosive materials that could cause
serious injury.
• As with all rechargeable batteries, do not charge near flammable
materials. When charging, the batteries heat up and could ignite a fire.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets. Exposure to battery voltage
could result in death or serious injury.
• Observe and follow all safety information on the warning label found on
the battery.
• Use only Segway-approved charging devices to charge the batteries.
• Do not attempt to open batteries. Do not insert any object into the
batteries or use any device to pry at the battery casing. If you insert
an object into any of the battery ports or openings you could suffer
electric shock, injury, burns, or cause a fire. Attempting to open the
battery casing will damage the casing and could release toxic and
harmful substances, and will render the battery unusable.
• Do not submerge the PT, batteries, or powerbases in water. Do not
use a power washer or high-pressure hose to clean a PT. Avoid getting
water into any of the connectors. Avoid exposing the Segway PT to
heavy downpours or extended periods of heavy rain. If you suspect the
batteries or powerbase have been submerged or experienced water
intrusion, call Segway Technical Support immediately at 1-866-473-
4929, prompt #2. Until you receive further instructions, store the PT
upright, outdoors, and away from flammable objects. Failure to do so
could expose you to electric shock, injury, burns, or cause a fire.
• Comply with all local and federal or individual country laws when
disposing of and transporting Segway PT batteries.
• Use only Segway-approved fasteners.
• Insert fasteners slowly and carefully. Do not cross-thread or over-
tighten fasteners. Tighten only to the prescribed torque.

When to Replace
Replace batteries as advised by a Segway Service Representative.

Segway Personal Transporter SE Service Manual 3–1


Batteries

Batteries
When replacing a Battery, consider replacing both Batteries,
and always use pairs of Batteries with the same chemistry.
Replacing only one Battery will not necessarily increase the
performance or range of the PT, because the PT is designed to
operate only at the level allowed by the lower-energy Battery.
Redundancy is a critical safety feature built into the Segway
PT that also applies to the Batteries. Therefore, you should
replace Batteries in pairs (except for the unusual situation
where a Battery is replaced because of damage or defect and
the other Battery is relatively new).

NOTICE
To isolate a problem in a specific battery, swap front and
rear Batteries to confirm that the error condition follows the
Battery.

serious injury, death, or damage to property.
Customer Replaceable
• Read all instructions.
• Power off the Segway PT. Customer Replaceable Kits
• Unplug the Segway PT. Gearbox Kit (21367-00001)
• Wear safety glasses to avoid eye injury. 1 Gearbox
• Gearboxes are not field serviceable. Do not attempt to open the 3 Fasteners
gearbox for lubrication or repair. You must replace the entire gearbox
assembly if the gearbox is not operating normally. Servicing or Gearbox Gasket Kit (20292-00001)
modifying the gearbox in any way could lead to malfunction. 1 Gasket
CAUTION!
• When a repair involves opening the console or chassis cover, best
practice electrostatic discharge (ESD) control procedures must be
followed. Failure to follow ESD procedures could result in personal
injury or damage to property.
• Machined surfaces of the gearbox can be sharp. Use caution when
handling the gearbox and spacer to avoid injury.

When to Replace
It is appropriate to remove, inspect, or replace the gearbox for reasons that
include the following:
• Excessive wheel wobble that cannot be remedied by either changing
the wheel position on the gearbox, by rotating the mounting position
by 180 degrees, or by replacing the Tire/Wheel Assembly.
The wheel hub has three holes that correspond to the three gearbox
flange studs. The wheel can be mounted to the gearbox in any of three
positions, relative to these holes. Clocking the wheel (i.e. advancing
the wheel to the next of these three possible positions) might minimize
wheel wobble on some units.
• Excessive and progressively worsening noise and/or vibration that
cannot be remedied by removing potential obstructions of the wheel,
by properly inflating the tire, or by replacing the Tire/Wheel Assembly.

A Post-Service Tests
This chapter describes standard tests to perform after servicing a Segway PT.
WARNING!
• Read all instructions. Failure to do so could lead to electrical shock,
serious injury, death, or damage to property.

CAUTION!
• When a repair involves opening the console or chassis cover, best
practice electrostatic discharge (ESD) control procedures must be
followed. Failure to follow ESD procedures could result in personal
injury or damage to property.

Startup Test
1. Make sure the Wireless InfoKey Controller properly powers on the PT
without any error messages.

Standard Check
1. Check that fasteners are in place, secure, and torqued correctly.
2. Check wheels for wear, tightness, and tire pressure.
3. Check that the Mats are intact, secure, and free of debris.
4. Check the LeanSteer Frame for tightness. Make sure the LeanSteer
Frame returns to center.
5. Check to make sure that no part is damaged or loose.

Operational Test
1. Check for obstruction under the Mats.
2. Check the LeanSteer Frame for tightness and centered orientation.
3. Turn on and power off the PT twice.
4. Confirm adequate battery levels.
5. Turn on the PT and test the rider detect. Make sure that the display
does not indicate that the rider detect button is on at startup. Tilt the
PT back and press each rider detect button.
6. While holding the PT level, tap the Mat with a foot to enter balance
mode.
7. Step on and ride the PT. Move forward and backward. Turn 360 degrees
to the left and to the right.

C Fasteners
This appendix provides information about the fasteners used in the Segway PT.

WARNING!
• Use only Segway-approved fasteners. Other fasteners may not perform
as expected and may come loose.
• Do not tighten or reuse any fastener except the screws used to attach
the batteries, wheel nuts, and LeanSteer frame. Instead, when any
other fastener is loose or removed, replace the fastener with a new
Segway-approved fastener.
• Before using a fastener, make certain the fastener is the correct size
and type with any necessary washer and thread lock in place (see
Table C–1, p. C–2).
• Since the pre-applied thread lock compound is intended for single
use only, reuse of fasteners is not permitted with the exception of the
wheel nuts, battery fasteners, and LeanSteer frame fasteners.
• Do not attempt to repair any stripped or damaged screw hole.
Instead, replace the part. If a replacement part is not available, do not
reassemble.
• Insert fasteners slowly and carefully. Do not cross-thread or over-
tighten fasteners. Tighten only to the prescribed torque.
• At the factory, Segway installs self-tapping fasteners intended for
one-time use only. Service replacement fasteners are not self-tapping
and, therefore, may differ slightly in appearance from the comparable
factory-installed fasteners.
• Failure to adhere to these warnings could lead to serious injury or
death or damage to property.
