Whenever the motor is deactivated from this, the PushTracker / E2 will vibrate in addition to its Indication [LED on the
PushTracker or screen on the PushTracker E2] being illuminated red as indication that power is no longer being provided.
The final way to deactivate the motor is to press and release the Power Assist button on the PushTracker / E2. This means of deac-
tivation gives an illuminated red Indication, vibration and notification the PushTracker Display / PushTracker E2 screen before it
disconnects wirelessly from the SmartDrive [turning power assist OFF].
If any malfunctions or push detection / braking / SwitchControl button / PushTracker / E2 issues are experienced with the
SmartDrive, cease use of the device and contact Permobil [SmartDrive] / Max Mobility for assistance.
The power assist driving can ALWAYS be deactivated by pressing and releasing a SwitchControl button. If you
have a PushTracker / E2, pressing and releasing the Power Assist button will also deactivate the motor if driving by
turning power assist OFF / wirelessly disconnecting it from the SmartDrive.
Serious care should always be taken on hills, inclines, ramps, in crowded / confined areas, etc.
Tapping force does not need to be excessive or "hard". Gentle, stiff wrist taps at a reasonable speed (i.e. one half (0.5)
second between taps) is sufficient.
While the PushTracker / E2 is designed to sense the tap / impact of your PushTracker / E2 wearing hand, other move-
ments done with your hands while the motor is driving can possibly cause activation / deactivation. Whenever power
assist is being provided, it is recommended to position your hands over your handrims for steering, then a stiff wrist tap
then brake when desired to deactivate and slow down.
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.

Momentary Control Mode [for SwitchControl]

Momentary is the default control mode for power assist when activating the motor driving with the SwitchControl button(s).
With SwitchControl power assist ON in this mode, the SmartDrive will start driving the motor by ramping up its speed [at
the Acceleration rate set] to the configured SwitchControl Max Speed only while one of the buttons is being held. When the
held button is released, or both of the buttons [if present] are pressed, the driving will deactivate. Remember that upon deacti-
vation it does not put the device in the power assist OFF / standby state [see "Power Assist Ready" section].
It should be noted that the button must be pressed and held for longer than (1) second before the drive unit motor will start
to drive. If it is released before this amount of time has lapsed, it will be registered as a button press only and cycle power as-
sist OFF from the SwitchControl / put it in the standby state.
While driving, steering is still done by pinching on the handrims of the wheelchair. If the speed seems to increase at a rate or
can get to a speed that is faster than you feel comfortable, change the Acceleration and SwitchControl Max Speed to values
that are just right for you and your wheelchair skills.
In order to change the SwitchControl Mode, the SwitchControl Max Speed and / or Acceleration without the PushTracker
E2, it will require the use of the PushTracker mobile (smartphone) app on a phone / device.

Latched Control Mode [for SwitchControl]

Latched mode is another option for power assist activation with the SwitchControl button(s). With SwitchControl power
assist ON in this mode, the SmartDrive will start driving the motor by ramping up its speed [at the Acceleration rate set] to
the configured SwitchControl Max Speed while one of the buttons is being held. When the held button is release, the Smart-
Drive will remain driving / coast at the current speed when the button was released. When one of the buttons is pressed and
released again, or both of the buttons [if present] are pressed, the driving will deactivate. Remember that upon deactivation it
does not put the device in the power assist OFF / standby state [see "Power Assist Ready" section].
It should be noted that the button must be pressed and held for longer than (1) second before it is registered as a button hold,
at which point the drive unit motor will start to drive. If it is released before this amount of time has lapsed, it will be regis-
tered as a button press only and deactivate the power assist [if driving] or cycle power assist OFF from the SwitchControl /
put it in the standby state.
While driving, steering is still done by pinching on the handrims of the wheelchair. If the speed seems to increase at a rate or
can get to a speed the is faster than you feel comfortable, change the Acceleration and SwitchControl Max Speed to values
that are just right for you and your wheelchair skills.
