Critical Faults During Balance

If, during normal riding, the system detects a critical system fault, it will perform a Safety Shutdown by

reducing speed to zero and giving the Stick Shake Warning. At that time, the Display will show the

following icon:

Display Icon Definition User Response

The system has detected a

critical error and is slowing to

zero speed before Safety

Shutdown (full Battery Pack

charge level indicator shown).

Come to a controlled stop, then step

off and discontinue operation. You

have 10 seconds from the start of the

Stick Shake Warning to come to a

controlled stop and safely step off

before the HT will automatically

shutdown.

Never Restart After an Empty Battery Condition Notification. The Segway HT will notify the rider of an

empty Battery Pack condition. (A red “unhappy face” icon will appear in the Display, the Segway HT’s

speed will be limited to 5 mph (8km/h), and the Handlebar will beep.)

When you receive notification of an empty Battery Pack condition, you should stop, step off, shut

down and charge your Segway HT. If you fail to stop and step off of your Segway HT during an empty

battery notification, then your Segway HT will perform a Safety Shutdown. (See a detailed description

of Safety Shutdown in your Rider’s Guide or e Series manual.)

Never restart and ride your Segway HT after it has notified you of an empty battery condition, until

you recharge. There is a high probability that the Segway HT will not have enough power to keep you

balanced – especially if you demand a lot of power at once. If you restart and continue riding prior to

recharging, you risk falling. Also, you may damage your Battery Packs, resulting in reduced Battery

Pack life and capacity.
