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’
Guide and the Segway HT Safety Video and the following instructions.
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.
