Mx1 Control Mode [If Used With Pushtracker / E2]; Anti-Rollback; Operating Conditions - max mobility SmartDrive MX2+ Manual Del Usuario

9
MX2 is designed to continue to drive you until a SINGLE tap is performed by the PushTracker / E2 worn arm or the power
assist is turned OFF to deactivate the motor [as described in in the PushTracker / E2 Power Assist Deactivation section] OR
until another, faster push is performed. In this last case, the SmartDrive will speed up and begin to drive at this faster attained
when you pushed harder. Once a push is performed and the motor is activated, position your hands over your handrims [and
SwitchControl button(s)] to be prepared to turn off the motor when braking / deactivated power is desired.
Refer to the separate PushTracker / E2 User's Manual provided on how to change / limit the Max Speed that the Smart-
Drive is able to activate and drive.
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 SmartDrive is able to recognize all types of pushes. Do not alter the way that you push for this could lead to
injuries in the future.
Care should be taken when using on a decline in all control modes. Consider switching the power assist OFF [via Switch-
Control and PushTracker / E2] before descending down a slope.
The acceleration of the SmartDrive could possibly cause the wheelchair to tip-over backwards, causing injury. It is recom-
mended that the user lean slightly forward to prevent this tipping.

MX1 Control Mode [if used with PushTracker / E2]

MX1 mode [formerly known as "Beginner Mode"] is one of the other options for the power assist Control Mode that can
be selected [see the separate PushTracker / E2 User's Manual provided]. In this mode, the deactivation means is the same as
MX2 mode [see "MX2 Control Mode" and "PushTracker / E2 Power Assist Deactivation" sections], but you are also able to
deactivate the power assist by braking on the handrims of the wheelchair. The SmartDrive recognizes the deceleration that the
wheelchair experiences from the braking and turns the motor off. This mode can be used effectively indoors and to prefect the
tapping motion needed by the PushTracker / E2 to deactivate the motor, upon which most likely is time to switch to either
MX2 or MX2+ mode to get the most out of your SmartDrive in all environments encountered on a daily basis.
Refer to and heed all warnings for MX2 control mode.

Anti-Rollback

The SmartDrive is equipped to provide rollback resistance whenever power assist is activated while the wheelchair is moving
backwards. This is a safety feature that requires the wheelchair to be at rest to begin driving. Whenever the rollback resistance
is not activated, the SmartDrive will roll backwards freely.
As warned before, serious care should be taken on all hills, inclines, ramps, etc.
The rollback resistance may not be able to prevent the quick rolling back on especially steep slopes and / or for very
heavy wheelchair users.
Anti-rollback is not a parking brake. Be sure to secure your wheelchair with brakes if stopping on a slope is desired.

Operating Conditions

The SmartDrive is designed for typical operating conditions encountered by a manual wheelchair user on a daily basis. Permobil
[SmartDrive] / Max Mobility recommends restricting the use of this device to indoor and light outdoor use. All operating con-
ditions set forth by one's wheelchair manufacturer should always be heeded, in addition to the avoidance of the following:
• Loose dirt, sand or gravel
• Standing water
• Icy surfaces
The total weight of the SmartDrive assembly is 13.5 lbs (6.1 kg). This weight should be included in calculating the on-board
weight of the wheelchair. The maximum allowable on-board weight outlined by one's wheelchair manufacturer should never
be exceeded with the addition of the SmartDrive.
• Rough terrain
• Extreme slopes
