Introduction
The U-Drive system is designed to attach to
a user propelled wheelchair to turn it in to a
U-Drive. The U-Drive system can either be
removed or put in to neutral to allow the
user to propel the wheelchair manually.
The U-Drive system is designed to work in
conjunction with specific wheelchairs. The
list of wheelchairs your model will fit is
available from Drive Medical.
The U-Drive is controlled by the wheelchair
user independently.
The U-Drive uses a 24V 12ah battery pack,
which uses 2x 12V 12ah sealed lead acid
batteries (supplied).
The U-Drive is manufactured by Drive
Medical Ltd and is CE marked. Drive
Medical Ltd is an ISO 9001 and ISO 13485
certified Medical Device Manufacturer.
Safety Procedures
Ensure the U-Drive is installed as far to the
front of the wheelchair frame as is possible.
When connecting / disconnecting the
battery from the U-Drive or the charger
make sure both the power to the charger
and U-Drive joystick are switched off.
Ensure the U-Drive is secured in transit. It is
also recommended that the battery is
disconnected.
Ensure that the battery is charged only with
the battery charger supplied with the U-
Drive. Using another battery charger may
cause damage or injury.
Whilst the U-Drive has been EMC tested, it
may be susceptible to certain types of
electromagnetic waves. Avoid close
proximity to mobile phones, commercial
broadcast towers and emergency services’
radios. Other household appliances are not
known to pose any such risk. If involuntary
movement occurs, switch off the U-Drive
and report this to your dealer.
The U-Drive should not be used when it is
snowing or during heavy rain. This may
cause damage to the U-Drive. The U-Drive
should not be exposed to damp conditions
or direct sunlight.
Ensure the strap is hooked on to the left
hand wheelchair push handle and is taught
to prevent the U-Drive from dropping when
driving over pot holes, etc.
Before Driving
The user needs to be familiar with the use
and operation of this U-Drive before driving.
Ride on the pavement and pedestrian areas
only. Never ride on motorways or dual
carriageways. Only use roads to cross to
other side of the pavement.
