Riding Tips and Safety Guidelines Recap

The Segway PT's unique balancing ability and ease of use may lead you to become overconﬁdent. If you exceed the ability of the PT 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 PT exposes you to risk of injury. You can reduce the risk by

following all the instructions and warnings in this Manual, but you cannot eliminate the risk.

• Read this Manual and watch the Safety Video.

• Pre-ride inspection. Inspect your PT before each use (see "Pre-Ride Checklist" on the inside back cover of this manual). Do not use if

any part is loose or damaged. If you discover any loose or damaged part, see "Troubleshooting Procedures" (p. 119).

• Do not place any objects on the Mats. This could cause the PT to move on its own when in Balance Mode, possibly damaging your PT

and rendering it unsafe for use.

• Do not allow any person to use your PT unless that person has carefully read this Manual and watched the Safety Video.

• Do not use the PT in hazardous atmospheres. The PT has not been certiﬁed for use in hazardous atmospheres as deﬁned in NFPA

70, National Electric Code. Hazardous atmospheres are locations where ﬁre or explosion hazards may exist due to ﬂammable gases,

vapors, liquids, dust, or ﬁbers.
