Replacing a Tire/Wheel Assembly
Tools Required: 16mm socket wrench, rubber or plastic mallet, torque wrench,
alcohol wipes, air pressure gauge, tire pump
Before you begin:
> Make sure Segway HT is shut down and not
plugged into AC.
> Place a carpet or pad on the floor, to protect
the wheel when you tip the Segway HT onto
its side.
> Tip the Segway HT onto its side so that the
Tire/Wheel Assembly to be replaced faces up
Remove all cargo bags.
Do not attempt to separate tire from wheel.
Check tire air pressure regularly. Inflate i and e
Series tires to 15 psi (103 kPa) and p Series tires
to 22 psi (152 kPa). Insufficiently inflated tires can
reduce mileage, affect performance, and break
wheels. Over-inflated tires reduce suspension
performance and tire traction.
Check tightness of wheel nuts for safe operation.
Torque wheel nuts to 50.0 N-m.
Directions:
Removal Instructions
1. Remove the wheel nut with a 16mm deep
socket wrench. Hold the wheel from rotating
and turn the wrench counter clockwise. (This
may require considerable force.)
2. Strike down on the outside edge of the
tire with a rubber mallet to unseat the
wheel hub taper. (This may require
multiple attempts and considerable
force, as the wheel hub is tight to the
gearbox taper.)
3. Remove the wheel.
Installation Instructions
(Note: Replace any fasteners you remove
when performing this installation with the
new fasteners included in the replacement
kit, unless reinstalling existing wheel).
4. Clean the gearbox taper and the wheel
hub taper with alcohol wipes.
5. Place the new wheel hub opening over
the gearbox shaft; rotate the wheel while
pressing down until the wheel seats.
6. Thread on the new wheel nut and torque
to 50 N-m.
