Installing the Golf Bag Carrier

Step 1 Locate the Gearbox Plugs on both gearboxes.

Gently pry out all three plugs on each gearbox using a Flathead Screwdriver. Keep the plugs in a safe place for use in the future.

(This step is necessary only if the Golf Bag Carrier was purchased as a separate accessory. This step is not necessary on the Segway GT, as the Gearbox Plugs are not installed.)

Step 2 In this step you will assemble one Support and Cap

onto the Frame prior to attaching it to the Gearbox:

a. Orient the Frame with the Warning Label facing

up. The Warning Label will be on the right side.

b. Place one Support on the inside of the left or right

side of the Frame and insert the fittings on the Support into the holes in the Frame.

c. Place one Cap on the outside of the Frame and

insert the fittings on the Cap into the holes in the Frame so that the Cap is aligned with the Support.

d. Thread two 35mm hex fasteners with washers

through the holes in the Cap and Frame, into the threaded brass inserts in the Support. Tighten with a 5mm hex wrench. Torque to 7.5 N-m.

Step 3 Set the assembled parts on the Segway HT so that

the Warning Label is in front of the Control Shaft and on the right side. Align the three holes in the bottom of the Support with the three threaded inserts in the Gearbox.

Step 4 Thread three 18mm hex fasteners through the

Support and into the threaded inserts in the Gearbox. Once all three fasteners are installed, tighten using a 4mm hex wrench. Torque to 8.0 Nm.

Step 5 Align the other Support with the other Gearbox so

that the fittings on the Support insert into the holes in the Frame.

Step 6 Thread three 18mm hex fasteners through the

Support and into the threaded inserts in the Gearbox. Once all three fasteners are installed, tighten using a 4mm hex wrench. Torque to 8.0 Nm

Step 7 Attach the remaining Cap by pushing down from

the top until the fittings on the Cap insert into the holes in the Frame.

Step 9 Attach the Golf Bag Holder.

a. Orient the Golf Bag Holder so the tube fitting at the

end of the swiveling extension arm is aligned with the forward opening in the right side of the Frame, and the other tube fitting is aligned with the rear opening. (It may help to tip the Segway HT onto the left Wheel.)

Operating Instructions

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY

Whenever you ride the Segway HT, you risk death or serious injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls. Riding with the Golf Bag Carrier installed may increase this risk. To ride safely, you must read and follow all the instructions and warnings in the Segway HT Riders’

Follow all installation instructions

The Golf Bag Carrier must be installed in accordance with Segway provided instructions using all the fasteners provided. You must securely attach your golf bag to the Golf Bag Carrier using both of the straps provided with the Carrier. If you fail to properly install the Golf Bag Carrier in accordance with the instructions or fail to properly secure the golf bag to the Carrier, the Carrier or bag could come loose and change position while riding and cause loss of control, falls, or collisions, resulting in injury.

> Make certain that no strap or other portion of your golf bag is loose.

The golf bag should be installed on the Golf Bag Carrier so that any attached stand and all straps and other portions of the golf bag are securely captured within the Golf Bag Carrier straps. If a stand, strap, or other portion of the golf bag becomes entangled with a Segway HT wheel or hangs down onto the ground so that a Segway HT wheel runs over it or so that it interferes with the operation of the Segway HT, the rider could lose control, resulting in falls, collisions, and injury.

> Practice!

Riding a Segway HT with the Golf Bag Carrier and golf bag is different from riding a Segway HT without a Golf Bag Carrier. After you install the Golf Bag Carrier and golf bag on the Segway HT, you should take plenty of time to practice riding the Segway HT on a surface with good traction away from all potential obstacles and distractions to acquaint yourself with the differences.

> The Golf Bag Carrier will prevent stepping off to the front or side.

Because the rider should always first come to a stop and step off the Segway HT to the rear, the Golf Bag Carrier will not interfere with proper stepping off, but it will interfere with emergency dismounts to the front or side. You must ride with extra care to avoid any slip, trip, or tip of the Segway HT (as described in the Riders’ Guide and Safety Video).

> Don’t exceed the weight limits.

The combined weight of the Segway HT rider and all cargo should not exceed 260 lbs. (118 kg.). The Golf Bag Carrier weighs 10 lbs. (4.5 kg.). You should check to make sure that the combined weight of the rider plus the golf bag and any other cargo carried by the rider or on the Segway HT does not exceed 250 lbs. (113 kg.).

> Increased weight on one side increases the risk of tipping over.

The Golf Bag Carrier increases the risk that the Segway HT might tip over to the side with the Carrier. The greater the weight of the golf bag, the greater the risk. You must turn with extra care and you must be especially carefully when crossing any slope or riding with one wheel higher than the other to reduce the risk of tipping over to the side.

> If you have a Parking Stand, don’t use it.

If your Segway HT is equipped with a Parking Stand, do not use the Parking Stand when a golf bag is attached to the Segway HT. The Parking Stand is designed to support an unloaded Segway HT only and will not support the Segway HT with a golf bag.

Using your Segway HT on the Golf Course

Make sure you understand and follow all rules and regulations of the golf course. Step 1 After arriving at your ball or parking spot, come to a complete stop and step off normally as

described in the Riders’ Guide and Safety Video. Remember never to let go of the Segway HT while it is in Balance Mode.

Step 2 Tap the Mode Button once to put the Segway HT into

Power Assist Mode. Check the Display to make sure there is an orange backlight and no face.

Step 3 Lean the Segway HT backwards so that it is resting on

the bottom of the Golf Bag Carrier as shown. You can now select your clubs and play your shot.

Step 4 After replacing your clubs in the golf bag, tilt the

Segway HT forward until the Platform is level. Remember, the Segway HT will not enter Balance Mode unless the Platform is level.

Step 5 Tap the Mode Button once to put the Segway HT into

Balance Mode. Check to make sure that the Segway HT is in Balance Mode by making sure that the Display shows a smiling face and green backlight and that the Segway HT moves its wheels in response to movement of the Handlebar.

Step 6 Step on normally as described in the Riders’ Guide and Safety Video. You’re off to the next

shot!

Segway HT i167 and i170 models have an automatic shutdown feature, so that the Segway HT, if left in Power Assist Mode for approximately one minute, would power off. If you are attaching this Golf Bag Carrier to one of those i Series models, you have two options: (1) use the Keys that came with your Segway HT and re-start the Segway HT if it automatically shuts down while you are playing your shot; or (2) contact an authorized Segway Dealer and purchase a special “Standby Key” for your Segway HT which will deactivate the automatic shutdown.
