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.
