e total weight of the SmartDrive assembly is 19.8 lbs. is 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 exceed-
ed with the addition of the SmartDrive.
If any part of the SmartDrive is accidentally gotten wet, the user should cease usage and allow 12 hours for it to air dry before
attempting to use again.
e operating temperatures of the SmartDrive are -25 C and 50 C.
If any malfunctions or issues are experienced with the SmartDrive, cease use of the device and contact Max Mobility for as-
sistance.
Operating Conditions
e SmartDrive is designed for typical operating conditions encountered by a manual wheelchair user on a daily basis. Max
Mobility recommends restricting the use of this device to indoor and light outdoor use. All operating conditions set forth by
one’s wheelchair manufacturer should always be heeded, in addition to the avoidance of the following:
4. Battery
Although the battery on the SmartDrive is very small and compact, it can store a large amount of power. Faulty
handling or storage can damage the equipment, and in some cases result in shocking, burns, or re.
e battery unit houses the rechargeable Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries used to power the SmartDrive. e newest in
Lithium-Ion technology, these batteries oer a signicantly longer cycle life and faster charging rate than standard lithium
ion cells.
e green LED on the top of the buttons is used to indicate the battery charge level. In any mode or state with the motor not
activated, press and hold either of the buttons for more than three (3) seconds. e LED’s will then blink to show the battery
charge level. ree (3) successive blinks mean you have greater than 70% battery capacity. Two (2) blinks indicate that you
have between 70% and 30% capacity. One (1) single blink indicated that the battery is less than 30% capacity and should be
charged as soon as possible.
Avoid getting the battery unit wet, for this can cause a short. It is also recommended to always place the connector in the
connector holder on the back of the battery unit whenever it is not plugged into the drive unit.
Long-term storage of the battery [more than 3 months] reduces its capacity through spontaneous discharge. Charge the bat-
tery to at least 30% before you store it long-term, and avoid storing the unit where the temperature is too high or with high
humidity.
Always store and charge the battery in a cool, dry area. Hot and damp environments can damage or short the unit,
requiring a costly replacement.
Avoid dropping of the battery unit.
Never get the battery unit wet. is can cause a short or permanently damage the battery unit.
Only use the provided charger to recharge the battery of the SmartDrive. Other chargers may damage your unit, or cause
a re.
e rollback resistance may not be able to prevent the slow rolling back on especially steep slopes and/or very
heavy wheelchair users.
Rollback resistance is not a parking brake. Be sure the secure your wheelchair with brakes if stopping on a slope is desired.
