Cleaning and Exposure to Water
All parts of the Segway HT can be cleaned with
soap and water
and a soft cloth. the Segway HT is
designed to withstand brief exposure to water, but not submersion. Avoid submerging the Battery
Packs or Platform. Avoid getting water in the Charge Port. Always close the Charge Port Cover after
charging. Do not use a high-pressure hose. Never clean the Mat or tires with any specialized
cleaners (such as Armor All
). These products may reduce traction.
If Your Mat Sticks to the HT Platform
If pressing the Mode Button does not cause the Segway HT to power down or change into Power
Assist Mode, your Segway HT Mat may be sticking to the riding Platform. If this happens, lift the Mat
to release it, while being careful to hold onto your Segway HT, and not to move it forward or
backward. If the problem persists, call Segway Customer Operations at 1-866-4SEGWAY.
Tire Pressure
Recommended tire air pressure for each model is as follows:
Model
i Series
p Series
e Series
Optimum Pressure
15 psi
(103 kPa)
22 psi
(152 kPa)
15 psi
(103 kPa)
Changing tire pressure will affect traction, shock absorption and range in the following ways:

Batteries
Two rechargeable Battery Packs power your Segway HT. Take some time to read and understand
these guidelines for your own safety and to extend the life of the Battery Packs.
Segway HT NiMH Battery Packs will discharge (i.e. power the Segway HT) until they reach 135
°
F
(57
°
C). The Battery Packs will generally be significantly warmer than ambient temperatures due to
the heating that occurs as electricity passes through the Battery Packs.
At 135
°
F (57
°
C), the Speed Limiter will be activated to reduce any internal heating caused by high
discharge currents. The Display face will also change from a green smiling face to a green straight
face.
