SmartDrive User’s Manual 1
1. Introduction
Intended Use of the SmartDrive
e 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 Specication Sheet.
Must Read Prior-to-Use Information
Improper use of the SmartDrive or the wheelchair it is attached, depending on surface, weather, and trac conditions, can
present a potential of injury and cause damage to the wheelchair or SmartDrive. erefore, the SmartDrive must only be
handled and used under the following prerequisites:
• e user is both physically and mentally capable of operating the wheelchair and device in all possible conditions
and situations.
• Proper instruction on its handling and operation has been received by reading and understanding this user’s manual
in its entirety.
• No technical modications have been made to the device.
• e user must take time to become accustomed to the SmartDrive’s response and performance by rst practicing
its operation in a safe area that is free from hazards. One should become familiar with the tap sensitivity, push
recognition, deactivation response, acceleration / top speed, etc. of the device before venturing out with the device,
where potentially hazardous situations may exist. It is strongly recommended that the user not attempt to use the
SmartDrive outdoors until it can be safely operated indoors without diculty.
If any issues or malfunctions exist, cease the use of the SmartDrive and contact Max Mobility for service / further instruction.
Any contrary use to the directions of this user’s manual, to the recommendations of one’s mobility equipment dealer, or to
the technical limitations dened by either Max Mobility and one’s wheelchair manufacturer is considered to be misuse of the
SmartDrive. Max Mobility is not responsible for any injuries or damage caused by this type of misuse.
Warnings and Safety Precautions
All warnings and safety precautions issued by one’s wheelchair manufacturer must be heeded in addition to
those stated in this manual. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Handling or use of the SmartDrive by anyone who
has not received proper instruction from this manual
may result in serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to attach the SmartDrive to a wheelchair
that does not meet the dimensions outlined in “Wheelchair Compatibility” section of the Specication Sheet.
One MUST familiarize themselves with the response and
performance of the SmartDrive prior to regular use. Do
not attempt to use outdoors until it can be safely operated
indoors without colliding into walls or any other objects.
Methods for safe use of a SmartDrive attached wheelchair
are dierent for each user depending on function and ability.
e specications provided by one’s wheelchair manufacturer may be slightly aected by the addition of the
SmartDrive.
e addition of the SmartDrive to one’s wheelchair
may cause it to feel dierent. Take the time to become accustomed to this new feeling.
Always inspect your SmartDrive, PushTracker, attachment hardware and the optional thumb throttle buttons for
missing parts / damage prior to each use [see the “Maintenance” section(s) for parts to pay attention to].
Make sure both the SmartDrive and PushTracker are
charged before use.
Always pay close attention to the surface that you are operating your wheelchair, whether your SmartDrive is on or
not, as the front casters of your wheelchair can get stuck in
cracks, ruts, holes, ledges, etc. Running into these obstacles can cause you to tip out of your chair.

Do not operate over signicantly rough terrain, very
slick surfaces, extreme slopes, or loose ground. is
may cause a loss of traction, leading to injury or damage to
your SmartDrive and void the warranty.
e SmartDrive is not designed to drive up or down large
curbs / steps. Only perform this maneuver when absolutely
necessary and always ask for help. Also be sure to turn OFF
the power assist [via PushTracker] before maneuvering.
Use extreme caution when operating a SmartDrive attached wheelchair when near streets. Consider turning
OFF the power assist [via PushTracker] to reduce risk.
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.
With regards to driving up and down slopes, please adhere
to the instructions and specications given by the diverse
wheelchair manufacturers.
Riding over curbs or obstacles can cause tipping and serious bodily harm. Turn OFF the power assist [via PushTracker] when attempting to ride in these situations. If
you have any doubt that you can safely cross any curb or
obstacle, ALWAYS ask for help. Be aware of your riding
skills and personal limitations. Develop new skills only
with the help of a companion.
e PushTracker should ONLY be worn by the user sitting
in the wheelchair with the SmartDrive attached.
Use caution when operating a SmartDrive attached wheelchair indoors or in conned areas. Consider turning OFF
the power assist [via PushTracker] to reduce the chance of
damage or injury.
e optional buttons are designed to be used with
a seat cushion as to prevent sitting directly on the
cables. It is strongly recommended that a seat cushion be
used on your wheelchair when using the buttons.
e SmartDrive and PushTracker have passed industry
climate testing the same as power wheelchairs, and are 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.
Surface temperatures of the SmartDrive can increase and
become hot to the touch when exposed to external sources
of heat, such as sunlight.
Using Anti-Tippers substantially reduces your risk of falling over backwards, which can cause serious injury. If you
are afraid of tipping over, use anti-tipppers. Anti-Tippers
will keep you from falling over, but they will limit your
ability to be pulled up curbs and some other maneuvers.
Just as children learn to ride bikes without training wheels,
you may be able to learn to use your wheelchair with AntiTippers. It is STRONGLY recommended that AntiTippers be employed to the wheelchair until the user has
become accustomed to operating the SmartDrive in all
possible environments, situations, and conditions.
Do not tip or wheel your wheelchair without assistance,
unless you are highly skilled.
Do not shift your weight or sitting position toward the
direction you are reaching as one’s wheelchair may tip over
backwards or sideways.
Do not lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach
objects behind as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.
Do not stand on the frame of your wheelchair.
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.
NOTES: Figures and diagrams of the SmartDrive in this manual may vary slightly from your device.
e Serial Number of your SmartDrive is located on its underside. It is recommended that you save this User’s Manual and
record the Serial Number below for future reference.
SmartDrive Serial Number: _______________________________________
Your wheelchair is not designed for weight training and
is unsafe from use as a seat while weight training. Weight
training from your wheelchair substantially changes the
stability of your chair and may cause tipping.
Do not attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel
locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.
Do not take a SmartDrive attached wheelchair on an escalator or moving walkway. Serious bodily injury may occur.
Any unauthorized modications to the SmartDrive
will void the warranty and may create a safety hazard.
