The Segway HT's unique balancing ability and ease of use can lead you to become overconfident. If you exceed the ability of the Segway HT to balance, such
as by riding over obstacles, uneven terrain, slippery surfaces, loose materials, or steep slopes, you can very quickly lose control, leading to collisions, falls,
and injury. As with any other transportation device, using a Segway HT exposes you to risk of injury. You can reduce the risk by following all the instructions
and warnings in this guide, but you cannot eliminate the risk. Whenever you ride, follow these rules:
> Read this guide and watch the Safety Video.
Do not allow any person to use your Segway HT
unless that person has carefully read this guide and
watched the Safety Video.
> Wear a helmet.
Whenever you ride your Segway HT wear a helmet
that fits properly with the chin strap in place. Use
an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that
provides protection for the back of your head.
Depending upon riding conditions and your riding
experience, consider using additional protective
equipment, such as gloves, eye protection, wrist
guards and knee pads. Wear footwear that
protects your feet and provides adequate support
and comfort.
> Spot new riders carefully.
All new riders should use the Beginner Key.
The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Do
not allow anyone to step onto the Segway HT for the
first time unless you are there to hold the
Handlebar. Spot new riders until they are
comfortable with the basic operation of the
Segway HT. Don't let new riders operate the
Segway HT outside of your direct supervision
unless they have read this guide and watched the
Safety Video.
> Avoid slippery surfaces, loose materials, steep
slopes, and obstacles.
If you cannot avoid a slippery surface, loose
material, steep slope, or obstacle, then you must
step off and use Power Assist Mode to move across
it. Be especially careful when riding in confined
spaces or near obstructions.
> Use caution on slopes.
Use caution when ascending, descending, or
crossing slopes. Do not attempt to ride up, down, or
across steep slopes or slopes with loose material or
slippery surfaces. Instead, step off and use Power
Assist Mode, walking with the Segway HT held
downhill from you. When riding up, down, or across
any slope, lean uphill to maintain balance.
