Gearbox Installation
To install gearbox:
1. Make sure Segway PT is powered off and
unplugged.
2. Inspect motor coupling and elastomer
bushing. Replace elastomer bushing if it is
worn out. See page 13 ‐ 5 .
3. If RTV silicone sealant is present on chassis,
use razor blade or utility knife blade (set at
90 ‐ degree angle to the chassis surface) to
carefully and gently scrape away all RTV
sealant residue from chassis mating surface.
Do not scratch machined surface. Always
work in downward direction to prevent
contaminants from falling into motor cavity.
See Figure 8 ‐ 3 .
To prevent contamination, cover motor cavity.
Machined surfaces of gearbox
and chassis can be sharp.
