Intended Use of the SmartDrive The Max Mobility SmartDrive Wheelchair Power Assist device is exclusively intended to provide auxiliary power to manual wheelchairs to reduce the pushing power needed by their users, including pediatrics, with a user weight of 30 to 331 lbs (14 - 150 kgs). It is intended to be used by users capable of operating and maneuvering a powered and manual wheelchair, ultimately empowering them through enhanced mobility. It is also very strongly recommended that it be used on manual wheelchairs that meet the “Wheelchair Compatibility” dimensions listed in the Specification Sheet. Must Read ...

Do not operate over significantly rough terrain, very slick surfaces, extreme slopes, or loose ground. This cables. It is strongly recommended that a seat cushion be used on your wheelchair when using the buttons. The SmartDrive and PushTracker have passed industry climate testing the same as power wheelchairs, and are con- sidered rain / splash proof. Complete submersion of either may cause malfunction or damage and void the warranty. Take the PushTracker off prior to bathing or showering. Surface temperatures of the SmartDrive can increase and become hot to the touch when exposed to external sources of heat, such as sunlight ...

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Electromagnetic Interference comes from radio wave sources. Examples of these sources are radio / TV station transmit- ters, receivers, transceivers [send and receive signals], cell phones, walkie-talkies, etc. There are many sources of EMI in one’s daily environment, some that are avoidable and some that one might not even realize. Powered electronic devices, such as the SmartDrive are susceptible to EMI, both strong and weak, from these types of transmitters, as well as from electrostatic discharges (ESD) and conducted sources. These interferences can cause unintentional activ ...

2. SmartDrive Set-Up SmartDrive Attachment The SmartDrive is designed to easily and quickly attach to all types of manual wheelchairs, both rigid and folding. Refer to the Specification Sheet to verify the compatibility of the wheelchair. Custom SmartDrive attachment solutions are also avail- able if the existing hardware does not work for the desired wheelchair. Use the separate directions provided with your attachment hardware for correct set-up prior to use. Adjustments made to the wheelchair set-up could affect the orientation of the SmartDrive. Adjust or replace the attachment hardware, if neede ...

The push activated power assist can ALWAYS be deactivated by pressing the Power Assist Button on the Push- Tracker as this turns power assist OFF / wirelessly disconnects it from the SmartDrive. If you have thumb throttle buttons, pressing and releasing either button will also deactivate the motor if driving. Serious care should always be taken on hills, inclines, ramps, etc. While the PushTracker is designed to sense the tap / impact of your PushTracker wearing hand, other movements done with your hands while the motor is driving can possibly cause activation / deactivation. Whenever power assist is be- ing pro ...

The SmartDrive is able to recognize all types of pushes. Do not alter the way that you push for this could lead to injuries in the future. Care should be taken when using on a decline in all control modes. Consider switching the power assist OFF [via Push- Tracker] before descending down a slope. The acceleration of the SmartDrive could possibly cause the wheelchair to tip-over backwards, causing injury. It is recom- mended that the user lean slightly forward to prevent this tipping. This all might sound complicated, but it is actually very simple. Any DOUBLE tap will either activate and start rampin ...

Anti-Rollback The SmartDrive is equipped to provide rollback resistance whenever power assist is activated while the wheelchair is moving backwards. This is a safety feature that requires the wheelchair to be at rest to begin driving. Whenever the rollback resistance is not activated, the SmartDrive will roll backwards freely. As warned before, serious care should be taken on all hills, inclines, ramps, etc. The rollback resistance may not be able to prevent the quick rolling back on especially steep slopes and / or for very heavy wheelchair users. Anti-rollback is not a parking brake. Be sure to secure your whe ...

SmartDrive Battery Charging To charge the SmartDrive, plug the battery charger cable into a wall outlet, at which point the green LED on the charger box will illuminate. Connect the magnetic charger connector to the powered off SmartDrive magnetic receptacle [moving the rubber plug to the side]. The magnets in the connectors will only allow the plug to connect in one direction. Once the unit is connected and charging, the LED on the charger will turn red. When the LED on the charger turns back to green, the SmartDrive is fully charged. Remove the connector from the SmartDrive and replace the rubber cap to protect t ...

Traveling and Shipping Because the SmartDrive houses a Lithium-Ion battery, special considerations have to be taken when traveling on an airplane. The SmartDrive must be carried onto your plane and should be stored in the overhead bin. It is recommended that advanced arrangements be made with each airline operator and approval received prior to departure date. A “SmartDrive Airline Pas- senger / IATA Certificate” can be downloaded or provided upon request. Use the provided foam stand for the SmartDrive to prevent movement and damage when transporting in a car. If riding in a cab, it is recommended to have the driver hand ...
