Cleaning

 WARNING!

Do not use a power washer or high pressure hose to clean your RMP. Use of these devices could force water into components that 
must stay dry. See "Safety," p. 8, for more information. Failure to do so could expose you to electric shock, injury, burns, or cause 
a fire.

The outside of the RMP can be cleaned by scrubbing with soap and water to remove any dirt and grime. Avoid getting water in the 
connectors. Do not submerge in water. 
If the inside of the RMP needs to be cleaned, contact Segway (see "Contact Information," p. 6). Do not use water or any liquid 
cleaning agents inside the enclosure.

Software Updates

Periodically, Stanley Innovation releases new software updates for the RMP V3. Checking for new software updates should be 
included as part of your regular platform maintenance schedule. New software may improve performance and/or change how the 
RMP V3 functions. Always read the release notes prior to upgrading. Some upgrades may require an update to the PC side ROS 
drivers as well.
To stay notified on new software updates you can “watch” the software on Github. Simply sign in to Github.com then navigate to 
https://github.com/StanleyInnovation and select the software you’d like to be notified for. When it is updated you will automatically 
get a notification via email. Stanley Innovation recommends signing up for 

https://github.com/StanleyInnovation/segway_v3_

embedded_firmware which is the code that runs on the platform. 
Instructions for loading new firmware can be found at

Removing Wheel Assemblies

Tool Required:

 

13 mm socket wrench

1.  Make sure the RMP is powered off and unplugged.
2.  Raise the RMP up so the tires are not touching the ground.
3.  Use a 13 mm socket wrench to remove the three wheel nuts (Figure 28).
4.  The tire/hub assembly can now be removed.

Replacing Wheel Assemblies

Tools Required:

  13 mm socket wrench

  Torque 

wrench

1.  Make sure the RMP is powered off and unplugged.
2.  Raise the RMP up off the ground.
3.  Slide the tire/hub assembly onto the gearbox flange so the three fasteners on 

the gearbox flange fit through the holes in the tire hub.

4.  Install the three wheel nuts using a torque wrench with a 13 mm socket head 

and tighten to 

35.0 N-m (25.8 ft-lbf)
