C–1 Segway Personal Transporter SE Service Manual
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.
