The Segway™ Human Transporter (HT) Parking Stand Replacement Kit is designed for i Series models, providing a comprehensive solution for replacing the parking stand, fender, and tire/wheel assembly. This kit ensures the continued safe and reliable operation of your Segway HT by replacing worn or damaged components with new ones.

Function Description:

The primary function of this kit is to facilitate the replacement of key structural and functional components of the Segway HT. The parking stand provides stability when the device is not in motion, allowing the user to park it upright. The fender protects the user and the device from debris thrown by the wheels. The tire/wheel assembly is crucial for propulsion and maneuverability. By replacing these parts, the kit helps maintain the Segway HT's original performance and safety standards. The replacement process involves removing the existing tire/wheel assembly, fender, and parking stand, then installing the new components in reverse order. The instructions emphasize careful handling and specific torque settings to ensure proper assembly and prevent damage.

Important Technical Specifications:

The kit includes several fasteners and components designed for precise fit and function:

• Parking Stand Assembly: One unit, featuring a nylon retractable stand, foot-activated lever, and spring action for ease of use and secure parking.
• Fasteners:
  • (2) 4 mm Hex Drive Parking Stand Fasteners: Used for securing the parking stand.
  • (6) T-20 Drive Fender Fasteners: Used for attaching the fender.
  • (1) 16 mm Wheel Nut: Essential for securing the tire/wheel assembly.
• Tools Required:
  • 16 mm deep socket and compatible ratchet: For loosening and tightening the wheel nut.
  • Torque Wrench (set to 50 N-m): Crucial for tightening the wheel nut to the specified torque, ensuring the wheel is securely fastened without overtightening.
  • Rubber Mallet: Used to unseat the wheel hub taper and for general assembly adjustments.
  • Torx T-20 wrench/bit: For fender fasteners.
  • Torx T-15 wrench/bit: For older Segway HT models (prior to March 2003) for fender fasteners.
  • 4 mm hex wrench/bit: For parking stand fasteners.
  • Torque Wrench (set to 1.5 N-m): For tightening fender and parking stand fasteners to prevent stripping aluminum threads.

Usage Features:

The replacement process is designed to be user-friendly, with clear, step-by-step instructions.

• Parking Stand: The new parking stand features a foot-activated lever and spring action, making it easy to deploy and retract. Its nylon construction ensures durability and light weight.
• Fender: The plastic fender is flexible, allowing for easier installation and removal while providing robust protection.
• Tire/Wheel Assembly: The instructions guide users through proper alignment and seating of the wheel hub taper, which is critical for smooth operation. The use of a torque wrench for the wheel nut ensures optimal tightness, preventing both loosening and overtightening.
• Safety First: The manual strongly advises shutting down the Segway HT and unplugging the power cord before any maintenance, highlighting the importance of safety during the replacement process.

Maintenance Features:

This kit itself is a maintenance solution, providing replacement parts for common wear-and-tear components.

• Component Replacement: The kit allows for the replacement of the entire parking stand assembly, fender, and wheel nut, addressing issues such as damage, wear, or malfunction of these parts.
• Fastener Replacement: New fasteners are provided for each component, ensuring that old, potentially worn or stripped fasteners are replaced, maintaining the structural integrity of the assembly.
• Torque Specifications: Detailed torque specifications (50 N-m for the wheel nut, 1.5 N-m for fender fasteners, and 0.5 N-m for parking stand fasteners) are provided to ensure components are secured correctly, preventing damage from overtightening or loosening from undertightening. This is a critical maintenance detail for safety and longevity.
• Cleaning: The instructions recommend cleaning the drive shaft and wheel hub taper with isopropyl alcohol before installing the new tire/wheel assembly, which helps ensure a proper fit and prevents debris from interfering with the connection.
• Tire Inflation: After reassembly, users are reminded to check the tire inflation pressure, adhering to the pressure stated on the wheel label, which supersedes any sidewall recommendations. This ensures optimal performance and safety of the tire.
• Warranty: The Segway HT Tire/Wheel Assembly Kit is covered by the Segway Human Transporter Limited Warranty as a "Replacement Part," providing assurance of quality and support.

The manual also includes contact information for customer support in case of missing parts, returns, or questions, emphasizing Segway's commitment to customer satisfaction and product support. It also provides a warning about the dangers of not following instructions carefully, which could render the Segway HT unsafe.
