not received proper instruction from this manual or the SmartDrive User’s
Manual may result in serious injury or death.
1. Introduction
Always inspect your PushTracker for missing parts / damage prior to each use [see
the “Maintenance” section for parts to pay attention to].
Make sure the PushTracker is charged before use.
When crossing major roads, intersection, railway crossings or highways as well as
when you drive steep, long slopes you should always consider having somebody
accompany you in the interest of your safety.
e PushTracker should ONLY be worn by the user sitting in the wheelchair with
the SmartDrive attached.
Always turn OFF the power assist (via PushTracker) when parked to prevent
accidental activation.
Always turn OFF the power assist (via PushTracker) before taking the
PushTracker o of your wrist.
Always use caution when transferring in or out of the wheelchair. Every precaution should be taken to reduce the transfer distance and be certain the wheel locks
are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving. Also always make sure the power
assist is OFF (via PushTracker) when transferring to and from your chair.
e PushTracker has passed industry climate testing, the same as power
wheelchairs, and is considered rain / splash proof. Complete submersion of either
may cause malfunction or damage and void the warranty.
Take the PushTracker o prior to bathing or showering.
Any modications to the PushTracker will void the warranty and may create a
safety hazard.

An electronic version of this User’s Manual along with informational videos are
available on our website [www.max-mobility.com / www.pushtracker.com] for
people with visual, reading or cognitive disabilities.
e Serial Number of your PushTracker is located on the bottom of the
PushTracker housing.
It is recommended that you save this User’s Manual and record the Serial Number
below for reference.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Refer to the SmartDrive User’s Manual for EMI specications.
USA / Canada
is device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) is device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Bluetooth® Wireless Communication
Bluetooth® wireless communication [2.4 GHz frequency band] is used by the
PushTracker to communicate to the SmartDrive when to activate/deactivate the
power assist, send and receive signals from a smartphone, etc. e PushTracker
must be within 25 ft (8 meters) of the SmartDrive / smartphone to connect
and communicate. e maximum output power of this technology is 10 mW,
and the operation of this device in close proximity to other wireless devices [i.e.
electromagnetic security systems, Bluetooth® headsets, etc.] could cause the device
to lose connection. Power assist is always deactivated whenever the motor is driving
and there is a loss of connection; the SmartDrive will beep and PushTracker will also
give indication when this happens. Worst case coexistence testing was performed
on the device to ensure its safety and eectiveness. Please contact Max Mobility
immediately for troubleshooting if continuous connection issues are experienced with
the device.
