  • Page 4: Introduction

    1.2 Important safety notes – please observe at all times The SMOOV O10 is an add-on drive for wheelchairs, comprised of a drive unit and a control unit. It must only be attached to and operated with wheelchairs that are listed in Alber’s mounting database. For safety reasons, it must only be operated by persons who •...

    SMOOV O10. The SMOOV O10 must not be used for any purpose that contravenes the intended use of the device. This particularly applies to all types of load transportation, such as transporting household objects or additional people in the wheelchair. Proper use includes complying with the information specified in this operating manual on carrying out maintenance work and observing and adhering to the safety precautions and hazard information for drive mode.
  • Page 6 This operating manual contains instructions, information and warnings relating to the charger and the charging pro- cess. They are to be read and be given due consideration prior to starting up the SMOOV O10 or charging it for the first time.

  • Page 7: Permissible Conditions Of Use/Locations Of Operation

    SMOOV O10. • The SMOOV O10 must only be operated at temperatures between -25 °C and +50 °C. Therefore, do not expose the SMOOV O10 to any heat sources (such as intense sunlight) as this may cause surfaces to reach high temperatures.

  • Page 8: Commissioning

    Speed limitation For your own safety, we recommend that you do not exceed the specified maximum speed of the SMOOV O10 or wheel- chair (whichever is the lowest value) during daily use. We assume no liability for any damage which results from oper- ation at speeds higher than the stipulated maximum speed.

  • Page 9: Attaching The Drive Unit To The Wheelchair

    2.1 Attaching the drive unit to the wheelchair With a little practice, active wheelchair users can attach the drive unit of the SMOOV O10 themselves while sitting in the wheelchair. Alternatively, the drive unit can be attached to the wheelchair before the wheelchair user takes their seat. A helper may also attach the drive unit.

  • Page 10: Attaching And Removing The Control Unit

    Information for left-handed persons • Unless you specify otherwise when ordering the SMOOV O10, the retaining plate [16] is mounted on the right-hand side of the wheelchair as standard. • The Mobility app allows the control unit to be switched to left-handed use at any time.

  • Page 11: Setting The Control Unit

    Drive unit battery is empty If the battery no longer has sufficient capacity, the LED [a] flashes briefly in the display [2] when the SMOOV O10 is switched on. The system switches off completely thereafter. Charge the battery as described in chapter 4.1.

  • Page 12: Using The Smoov O10

    If this Bluetooth® connection is interrupted, the SMOOV O10 goes into a safe state (=no more auxiliary power pro- vision), i.e. the SMOOV O10 drive unit stops supporting. This allows the user to react to emergency situations at any time by operating the system via the handrims like a manual wheelchair.

  • Page 13: Fault (Control Unit Without Function)

    By pressing the On/Off button [10], neither the control unit nor the drive unit is switched off – as indicated by the illuminated LEDs. This means that the SMOOV O10 is immediately set in motion again as soon as the speed dial [11] is turned (even unintentionally). In this respect, you should switch the drive unit off completely in the event of an emergency stop (see chapter 3.6.2) until it is safe for you to continue.

  • Page 14: Cornering

    This incorrect wheel position (diagram A) can (primarily when navig- ating slopes) can result in recuperation. Consequently, damage to the SMOOV O10 drive unit cannot be ruled out. For this reason, make sure that the drive wheel [8] is always in the cor- rect travel position (diagram B).

  • Page 15: Range

    For every SMOOV O10 user, the range of the system is one of the areas of greatest inter- est. In general, the SMOOV O10 has a range of up to 20 km with the standard built-in bat- tery (6.2 Ah).

  • Page 16: Charging The Batteries

    4. 1 Charging the drive unit battery First read the safety instructions for the charger and the charging procedure in chapters 11.3 and 11.4 before charging the SMOOV O10 battery for the first time. With regard to the charging process, proceed as follows: •...

  • Page 17: Charging The Control Unit Batteries

    The battery should always be fully charged so that you are able to make use of the SMOOV O10’s maximum range. In addition, you reduce the risk of no longer being able to use your wheelchair with the motorised assistance of the SMOOV O10 due to an empty battery.

  • Page 18: Charging Via The Drive Unit

    • LED [f] lights up green continuously if the charging process is complete. • Remove the charger cable; LED [f] goes out If the charging process is complete and the charger cable has been removed, the SMOOV O10 can be put back into operation.

  • Page 19: Error Messages And Warnings

    Contact your specialist dealer. If any error messages other than those listed here appear, there is a serious system fault. In such cases, the SMOOV O10 cannot be used and must be sent to Alber GmbH via your specialist dealer for testing.

  • Page 20: Automatic Shutdown

    If a new control unit is required, both the QR code (unique key for 128 bit AES encryp- tion) of the SMOOV O10 O10 and the QR of the new control unit must be scanned via the Mobility App for pairing. The previous control unit is then no longer paired.

  • Page 21: Transport

    • Push the adapter axle together at its ends using the handles [23]. • Remove the adapter axle from the wheelchair. In order to be able to operate the wheelchair with the SMOOV O10 again after transport, both wheels must first be attached to the wheelchair followed by the adapter axle [22].

  • Page 22: Important Information About Air Transport

    However, when planning a trip, please contact your travel agent or the airlines to discuss taking the SMOOV O10 with you on any flight you may book. At the end of the day, the decision to allow or refuse the SMOOV O10 on board is made at the pilot’s discretion. Neither Alber GmbH nor their specialist dealers are able to influence the pilot’s decision.

  • Page 23: Safety Instructions

    • Prior to each use, check the condition of the drive wheel [8]. If the tyre has reached its wear limit (the tread is hardly visible), the SMOOV O10 must not be used any further.
  • Page 24 • Apply the SMOOV O10 brake carefully according to your speed (i.e. not suddenly). • The highest achievable speed with the SMOOV O10 drive unit is 6 or 10 km/h respectively. If this value is exceeded (e.g. when navigat- ing slopes), the drive unit switches to idling. In such cases, you need to reduce the speed with the push rims. The drive unit switches on again automatically as soon as the wheelchair drops to a speed below the previously driven/set speed.

  • Page 25: Obstacles

    • Prior to use, the wheelchair user is to check the condition (remaining tread, damage) of the SMOOV O10 drive wheel [8]. The charge status of the batteries and the functionality of any visual and acoustic signalling devices attached to the wheelchair are also to be checked.

  • Page 26: Storing The Smoov O10

    11.2 Storing the SMOOV O10 • The service life of a battery is partly dependent on its storage location. As such, never leave the components of the SMOOV O10 in hot loca- tions for prolonged periods of time. In particular, use the boot of a car parked in the sun only for transport – never as a storage location.
  • Page 27 • If necessary, check the electrical connections to ensure that the charger is set up correctly and not covered by any other objects. • The charger is only permitted for charging the SMOOV O10. Use with other products is not permitted and can result in significant dam- age to this charger and to the other •...

  • Page 28: Maintenance (Safety Inspections) And Disposal

    12.2 Reuse If your SMOOV O10 has been provided to you by your health insurance company and you do not need it any longer, please contact your health insurer, an Alber representative, or your authorised specialist dealer. Your SMOOV O10 can then be easily and efficiently reused.

  • Page 29: Product Service Life
