It is important for your safety and the safety of those around you that you are properly trained to use the SmartDrive.
Please take this training seriously and be sure to fill-in all information. If you do not understand something, just ask.
SmartDrives are shipped in MX2+ control mode with moderate Maximum Speed and Acceleration settings which allow for familiarity and
PushTracker deactivation practice prior to extensive use.
1)
Read the
SmartDrive User’s Manual
,
PushTracker User’s Manual
and
SmartDrive MX2 + PushTracker Quickstart Guide
. Please heed
all of the warnings in yellow, as this information is important for your safety. Pay close attention to situations where it is safest to turn the
SmartDrive power assist OFF [via PushTracker].
2)
Demonstrate each of the skills to your dealer and check them off once you are confident with each skill:
Making sure power assist is OFF, install the PushTracker onto your wrist.
Understanding that power assist should be OFF whenev-
er handling the SmartDrive [or transferring into / out of your chair]
, switch the SmartDrive on and install it onto your wheelchair.
Turn the power assist ON [via PushTracker] and allow for it to wirelessly connect to the SmartDrive.
Before doing anything, practice SINGLE tapping your hand against your handrims with a stiff wrist. You will see the PushTracker
LED go red if it’s a good tap. Also practice DOUBLE taps. Continue to practice these taps until you get it every time.
Activate the motor with a DOUBLE tap, SINGLE tap to set a slow coast speed and finally DOUBLE tap then brake to stop.
Activate the motor again with a DOUBLE tap, this time setting a faster coast speed, and then DOUBLE tap brake to stop.
Once you have perfected the tapping needed by the PushTracker to activate / set the coast speed / deactivate the motor, try to activate
the motor, set a comfortable coast speed, turn in a figure 8, and then tap brake stop.
If possible, find a LONG / FLAT / OPEN space to allow the SmartDrive to ramp up to Maximum Speed. Adjust the Maximum
Speed or Acceleration to values that are comfortable in that and all predicted use environments.
If all skills are not able to be performed by the client, try the MX2 [or MX1] control mode and repeat this training.
