Thumb Throttle Button Instructions [sold separately]
NOTE: Parts shown may differ slightly from your SmartDrive.
Rigid Frame Mount
The two (2) SmartDrive thumb throttle buttons are easily mounted to
each side of the wheelchair frame to allow for easy pressing without
having to remove your hands from the handrims.
1. Wrap the velcro loop around the rubber backing of the button
then around the side tubing of the wheelchair; feed the skinny
end of the velcro through the slot in the wider end and pull tightly
before laying down on its mating surface. Be sure the blue LED
is pointing up and the cables that come out of each button run
towards the back of the wheelchair (Fig A).
NOTE: If the chair has screw-down seat upholstery, loosen the screws and
feed the velcro strap under the metal bar (then retighten screws) to allow for
closer positioning of the buttons to the handrims.
2. The cable can be pulled apart to the desired split location [preferably
in the rear of the seat] and any extra cable can be managed under
the cushion. Use the provided velcro strips to strap down the button
cables to the upholstery. Be sure the cables do not stick out and will
not get caught in the spokes of the wheelchair (Fig. B). Place the
cushion over the cable to further secure the cable.
