Maintenance
To ensure that your RMP continues to function optimally, please follow these routine maintenance guidelines.
Tire Pressure
Ideal tire pressure for the supplied tires depends on both the surface being driven across
and the payload being carried. Because every situation is different, Segway recommends
keeping the tire pressure within the range of 6–15 psi. Do not allow the tire pressure to
exceed what's stated on the sidewall of the tire. For best results, tire pressure should be
adjusted to match the payload and the environment. In general, lower pressures increase
traction and roll damping and higher pressures increase range and roll stiffness.
To ensure that the RMP tracks straight, both tires must be inflated to the same pressure.
When inflating tires to a different pressure, be sure to update the tire diameter (refer to
the
RMP V3 Interface Guide). The tire diameter is used internally when calculating velocity,
acceleration, position, and differential wheel speed.

Fastener Torque
CAUTION!
Adhere to torque specifications when tightening fasteners. Over-tightening or under-tightening fasteners can result in malfunction or
damage to the RMP.
Periodically check the fastener torques. Fastener torque specifications are provided in Table 21.
WARNING!
• Failure to heed these warnings could lead to death, serious injury, or property damage.
• Before performing any maintenance, verify that the Segway RMP is unplugged and powered off. It is not safe to perform
maintenance while the RMP is powered on or charging: the RMP could move unexpectedly.
• Use only Segway approved fasteners on the RMP. Other fasteners may not perform as expected and may come loose.
• Always use thread lock on fasteners to keep them from coming loose.
• Insert fasteners slowly and carefully. Do not cross-thread or over-tighten fasteners. Tighten only to the prescribed torque.
• 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.
