Avoiding Hazards (cont.)
Impacts
Impacts occur when the SE-3 Patroller Wheels or chassis encounter an
obstacle or terrain that prevents it from moving, bringing it to an abrupt stop
and potentially causing a fall or tip-over (Figure 22).
• Avoid holes, curbs, steps, and other obstacles.
• Use caution when riding over any terrain change such as pavement
to grass, or over a threshold or speed bump where the bottom of the
SE-3 Patroller may strike any object.
Tip-Overs
You are responsible for maintaining proper vehicle/rider balance by leaning
into turns and uphill on slopes (Figure 23). If you fail to actively maintain
vehicle/rider balance, the SE-3 Patroller can tip sideways and fall over. If a
tip-over occurs, do not attempt to ride the SE-3 Patroller until it has been
thoroughly inspected by a Segway Certified Technician.
• Avoid riding across steep slopes.
• Lean into turns and lean uphill when riding across gentle slopes.
• Avoid turning on slopes or ramps.
• Never let go of the Handlebar when riding across a slope. The SE-3
Patroller could turn downhill and you could lose your balance.
• Stay centered on narrow sidewalks or elevated paths. Make sure that
one Wheel does not drop off a curb.
• Ride slowly over bumpy terrain.
