SmartDrive MX2 +
It is important for your safety and the safety of those around you that you are properly trained to use the SmartDrive.
Please take this training seriously and be sure to fill-in all information. If you do not understand something, just ask.
SmartDrives are shipped in Momentary Control Mode [for SwitchControl] and MX2+ Control Mode [if used with PushTracker / E2] with
moderate Max Speed and Acceleration settings. This allows for familiarity and the different deactivation to be practiced prior to extensive use.
To quickly change the SmartDrive settings and get the most out of your SmartDrive, download the PushTracker mobile (smartphone) app in
the Apple or Google Play Store. There are also instructional videos available at
about your SmartDrive [use the Closed-Caption for subtitles in other languages].
1)
Read ALL provided manuals / instructions / guides. Please heed all the warnings and cautions in yellow, as this information is important for your safety.
Pay close attention to situations where it is safest and necessary to turn the SmartDrive power assist OFF [via SwitchControl and PushTracker / E2] .
2)
Demonstrate each of the skills to your dealer and check them off once you are confident with each skill:
Making sure power assist is OFF, install the PushTracker / E2 onto your wrist [if used]. Understanding that power assist should be OFF
whenever handling the SmartDrive [ or transferring into / out of our chair], switch the SmartDrive on and install it onto your wheelchair.
Use the SwitchControl button(s) to turn power assist ON, noting the SwitchControl LED flashing, then activate the motor by
pressing and holding. Next deactivate the driving, then brake to stop the wheelchair. Finally turn power assist OFF again with the
SwitchControl. Repeat this, activating and driving multiple times before turning power assist OFF, always noting the LED indication
Turn the power assist ON [via SwitchControl and PushTracker / E2] and allow for it to wirelessly connect to the SmartDrive.
[If used with PushTracker / E2]
Before doing anything, practice SINGLE tapping your hand against your handrims with a stiff wrist. You will see the PushTracker /
E2 Indication go red if it's a good tap. Also practice DOUBLE taps. Continue to practice these taps until you get it every time.
Activate the motor with a DOUBLE tap, SINGLE tap to set a slow coast speed and finally DOUBLE tap then brake to stop.
Activate the motor again with a DOUBLE tap, this time setting a faster coast speed, and then DOUBLE tap brake to stop.
Once you have perfected the tapping needed by the PushTracker / E2 to activate / set the coast speed / deactivate the motor, try
to activate the motor, set a comfortable coast speed, turn in a figure 8, and then tap brake stop.
With PushTracker / E2 power assist ON, also turn SwitchControl power assist ON, noting the change in flashing indication. Now use the
different controls simultaneously / in combination to understand how you might use each or both for different environments, situations, etc.
If possible, find a LONG / FLAT / OPEN space to allow the SmartDrive to ramp up to Maximum Speed. Adjust the Maximum
Speed or Acceleration to values that are comfortable in that and all predicted use environments.
If all skills are not able to be performed by the client, try the MX2 [or MX1] and / or Latched control modes and repeat this training.
