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.
Refer to the separate instructions 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 needed, whenever changes are made to the chair or its wheels.
SwitchControl Button(s)
The frame mounted SwitchControl button(s) are easily mounted to a wheelchair to allow for close access and easy pressing.
The button(s) can be used to deactivate the motor, as well as provide a means of actively powering the motor.
Refer to the separate instructions provided with the button(s) for correct set-up prior to use.
PushTracker / E2 [if used]
The PushTracker / E2 is designed to comfortably and securely attach to the top part of wrists of all sizes. If has an embed-
ded accelerometer to recognise when you push, when you want to activate the power assist and also when you tap your hand
against the handrim to deactivate the power assist. Additionally, it is equipped with visual and haptic feedback to indicate
different information, states and activations / deactivations that occur during everyday use.
It is recommended that your PushTracker / E2 be worn snug on your wrist to get the most reliable recognition of
your hand movement for SmartDrive operation, propulsion activity tracking, etc. Ability to operate / maneuverer
the wheelchair can be affected if the PushTracker / E2, watches, jewellery, etc. are worn loosely or positioned such
that they can become loose and interfere with handrim operation.
Refer to the separate PushTracker / E2 User's Manual provided for information on re-paring or paring a new PushTracker /
E2 to your SmartDrive.
The band on the PushTracker / E2 is designed for most users; but if you have difficulty securing the buckle / clasp, it doesn't
fit right, or you wish to have one of a different color / material, the band can be easily replaced with essentially any off-the-
shelf watch band of your choosing.
Refer to the separate PushTracker / E2 User's Manual provided for complete information, specifications, band size / attach-
ment and operation details.
3. Operating the SmartDrive
Always turn OFF the power assist [via SwitchControl and PushTracker / E2] when parked, before transferring in or out of your
wheelchair, taking the PushTracker / E2 off of your wrist and / or SmartDrive off of your chair to prevent accidental activation.
Power Assist Ready
The user of a SmartDrive equipped wheelchair is able to use the power assist whenever desired or turn it OFF [via Switch-
Control and PushTracker / E2] and operate their wheelchair as if the SmartDrive was not on their chair.
With the SmartDrive already attached to the wheelchair and powered on [as described in the separate attachment hardware

/ E2.

force] and release one of the buttons. Indication of power assist ON via SwitchControl will be given on the button LED(s).
