SmartDrive Attachment

"Specifications" to verify the compatibility of the wheelchair . Custom SmartDrive attachment solutions are also available if the
existing hardware does not work for the desired wheelchair .

replace the attachment hardware, if needed, whenever changes are made to the chair or its wheels.

SpeedControl / SwitchControl

The frame-mounted SpeedControl dial / SwitchControl button(s) are easily mounted to a wheelchair to allow for close access
and easy pressing . The SpeedControl dial or SwitchControl button(s) can be used to deactivate the motor, as well as provide a
means of actively powering the motor .

PushTracker / E3

[if used]

attachment, and operation details, including re-pairing or pairing a new PushTracker / E3 to your SmartDrive .
The PushTracker / E3 is designed to comfortably and securely attach to the top part of wrists of all sizes . If has an embedded
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 .

maneuver the wheelchair can be affected if the PushTracker / E3, watches, jewelry, etc. are worn loosely or positioned
such that they can become loose and interfere with handrim operation.

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 .

Operating the SmartDrive

WARNING: Always turn OFF the power assist [via SpeedControl, SwitchControl and PushTracker / E3] when parked,
before transferring in or out of your wheelchair, taking the PushTracker / E3 off of your wrist and / or SmartDrive off of
