Battery Information - max mobility SmartDrive MX2+ Manuel D'utilisation

The best way to climb ramps and inclines is to go slow. On cross-slopes, activate the motor to begin driving, then brake with
the uphill hand on the wheelchair handrim to go straight.
Also, rollers on the omni-drive wheel allow for pivoting of the wheelchair as they smoothly roll side-ways over surfaces.
Care should be taken to make sure the SmartDrive doesn't get caught on things like curbs or small sidewalk cracks when
you pivot. The attachment hardware is designed to fail first, so if you get the SmartDrive stuck, this can break the clamp /
folding adaptor bar and leave you without power assist. Sometimes it is best to turn the SmartDrive off, negotiate the situa-
tion manually and then start using the assistive power again.
If any part of the SmartDrive is accidentally submerged or doused in water, the user should cease usage and allow 12 hours
for it to air dry before attempting to use again. It is recommended to always store the SmartDrive and PushTracker indoors.
If your device has been stored in extreme temperatures, allow time for it to warm up or cool down prior to use.
The operating temperature of the SmartDrive is between -25 oC and 50 oC
If any malfunctions or issues are experienced with the SmartDrive, cease use of the device and contact Max Mobility for assistance.
4. Batteries
Although the battery in 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 fire.

Battery Information

The SmartDrive houses the rechargeable Lithium Iron Phosphate battery used to power the motor. The best in Lithium-Ion
technology, these batteries offer a significantly longer cycle life and faster charging rate than standard lithium ion cells.
The PushTracker "Battery Level" display [see the PushTracker User's Manual] and blue LEDs on top of the SmartDrive are
used to indicate the battery charge levels of both. All four (4) LEDs being illuminated on the SmartDrive indicate a full bat-
tery. As the charge of the battery decreases, so does the number of LEDs being lit. The SmartDrive will give a beep and the
PushTracker will show the low battery icon
you know charging of the battery should be done as soon as possible to avoid running completely out.
See the separate PushTracker User's Manual provided for its low battery indication. Again, charging of this battery should
be done as soon as possible to avoid running completely out.
It is encouraged to charge each battery every night to avoid running out of charge during daily use. The life of the batteries
will not be deteriorated by charging when it is partially drained.
Make sure the charging receptacles are completely dry and free from debris [as the magnets and ports can attract some]
before plugging in the charger, for this can cause a spark or short. Blow water out of the receptacle if you suspect there being
water in it. It is also recommended to always cover the button / charger receptacle whenever either are not plugged into the
SmartDrive.
Long-term storage of the batteries [more than 3 months] reduces its capacity through spontaneous discharge. Charge the
battery to at least 75% before you store it long-term, and avoid storing the SmartDrive where the temperature is too high or
with high humidity.
Only use the provided charger to recharge the SmartDrive. Other chargers may damage your unit, or cause a fire.
Also, always power off and never attempt to use the SmartDrive while charging.
The battery charger is to be used indoors and in dry locations. Use an easily accessible outlet that is close to the Smart-
Drive that is to be charged.
Do not use or attempt to repair a damaged / defective charger. Contact Max Mobility if a charger is damaged and do not
dispose of in your household garbage.
The charging transformer box is intended to be laid flat during charging.
Only use the power supply cord provided with the charger. The charger is capable of operating at different voltages with-
out adjustment.
