User Manual | Excel E-Smart / E-Smart +
4. Instructions for use
It is very important that you teach yourself the correct user instructions. Therefore, you need to know all the
components of the wheelchair as described in this user manual. Always check with an expert about developing safe
methods regarding your physical abilities to use your wheelchair.
4.1 Balance
Daily operations such as getting in and out of the wheelchair, reaching and bending in the wheelchair will cause
change to the weight distribution and the centre of gravity of you and your wheelchair. You will need to perform
these movements and techniques as shown below.
4.1.1 Getting in and out
Getting in and out of the wheelchair is a common operation. The diculties of getting in and out depend on your
physical capabilities. In this user manual, we describe the actions that must be followed when you want to get in or
out of the wheelchair without help. When you can’t do it independently any longer, we recommend that you make
an appointment with an occupational therapist to discuss your options and to determine how you can best get in
and out of the wheelchair.
Before you get in or out of your electric wheelchair, you must make sure the wheelchair is on a at surface. The
wheelchair needs to be in drive mode (not freewheel) when getting in or out. That way, the motorbrake keeps
the wheelchair from moving. Always make sure the wheelchair is turned o when getting in or out. The electric
wheelchair is turned o when all of the LEDs on the controller are o. This prevents the chance of accidentily
moving the joystick and thus moving the wheelchair when getting in our out. When getting in or out of the
wheelchair, be sure to ip the armrests and footplate up. When seated, fasten the seatbelt, ip down the armrests
and footplate and you are ready to go. To get out, turn o the wheelchair, unfasten the seatbelt, ip up the
footplate and one or two of the armrests.
4.2 Bending and/or reaching
It may occur when you are in your wheelchair that you need to reach for something. To avoid tipping over, you must
follow the steps below.
• Make sure that you are as close as possible to the object;
• Make sure the front wheels are in forward driving position. If not, go forwards and then backwards to turn the
wheels in the correct position;
• Turn o the electric wheelchair;
• You can now bend and reach for the target more safely.
4.3 Going up or down inclines or kerbs
It may occur that you have to go up or down a kerb or with your wheelchair. In this user manual we will describe
how to do this independently and safely.
Warning
If the wheelchair is going faster than you are comfortable with when descending, the speed can be adjusted without
stopping fully.

User Manual | Excel E-Smart / E-Smart + User Manual | Excel E-Smart / E-Smart +
4.3.1 Going up an inclcine or kerb
If you want to go up a kerb or threshold you have to do so in a forward motion. Be extra careful when going up the
incline or kerb. This does not mean driving as slow as possible, but with reasonable speed. Keep the wheelchair
driving and do not stop when still on the incline. Should you still accidentily come to a stop on the incline, slowly
and carefully increase speed again. It is possible that the electric wheelchair rolls back a little bit before continuing
forward when restarting after a stop. This is normal.
The anti-tip wheels of the Excel E-Smart and E-Smart+ provide extra safety when going up a kerb or incline. It is also
important to not add any extra weight (e.g. bags) to the wheelchair.
4.3.2 Going down an incline or kerb
When going down an incine or kerb, always do so in a forward motion. You should go straight down the incline,
never on an angle. Otherwise the wheelchair can fall over. Never go down a kerb or incline too fast.
4.4 Controls
The most important skill with an electric wheelchair is controlling it. Below is a description on how to use the
controller in a safe manner in dierent situations.
Your electric wheelchair is made to increase mobility. When driving the wheelchair you will encounter dierent
situations. To control the wheelchair in these situations, we describe a few examples below, and how to control the
E-Smart safely. By following instructions below, you can prevent dangerous situations to occur.
Controlling the wheelchair in small spaces
• Make the wheelchair come to a full stop;
• Put the E-Smart on the lowest speed setting;
• Steer into the desired direction.
Uneven surfaces
• Your electric wheelchair performs best on at surfaces. But it is also possible to use it on uneven surfaces like
grass or gravel. However we do recommend to avoid slippery surfaces like ice and snow;
• It is important to go slow but not to come to a full stop on the aforementioned surfaces.
Tip
Carefully inspect an incline or kerb before going up or down. That way you make sure you know what to expect, and
you can continue safely.
Warning
Never go up or down an incline or kerb that is covered in snow, ice, grass or any other possible slippery surface.

User Manual | Excel E-Smart / E-Smart +
4.5 EMI / RFI
The fast development of electronics, especially for the purpose of communication, has drenched our surroundings
with electromagnetic radiation. This is mainly transmitted by television stations, mobile phones, radios, laptops,
microwaves and pacemakers. These electromagnetic waves are invisible but grow stronger the closer one gets to
the source. This radiation could cause electrical appliances to stop functioning correctly or even stop functioning at
all. This phenomenon is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
All electric vehicles, including electric wheelchairs, are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference / Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI). This can result in abnormal or unexpected behaviour of the electric wheelchair.
Should any unexpected behaviour occur, please turn o the wheelchair immediately. The FDA has ruled that every
electric wheelchair should be able to withstand EMI / RFI up to a certain level, indicated by volts per meter (V/m).
The minimum level of resistance for electric wheelchairs should be 20 V/m. This product has been tested and found
to have a resistance of 20 V/m.
4.5.1 EMI / RFI recommendations
• Do not use personal electronic communication devices, like a cellular phone, when using the electric
wheelchair;
• Be extra aware of the behaviour of your electric wheelchair when you are near transmission towers for radio,
telephone or television;
• Turn o the electric wheelchair when stationary for longer periods of time.

6. Components of the Excel E-Smart
In this chapter the dierent components of the Excel E-Smart are described. On the wheelchair are a number
of components present which are adjustable. If you want to add or remove any of its components, make any
adjustments of replace components, you should always follow the instructions described in this user manual.
6.1 The controller
Your electric wheelchair is equipped with a joystick as displayed on photo 1. The joystick can be adjusted in depth.
This can be done by loosening the black screw button on the bottom of the armrest (photo 2). Next, slide the tube
with the joystick backwards or forwards as desired. When the joystick is in the desired position, tighten the black
screw button.
1. On/o button
To turn the electic wheelchair on or o, press the on/o button. On the controller you will nd a number of LEDs.
These lights will ash once. Then, depending on the battery level, a number of them will light up and stay lit. To turn
the electric wheelchair o, press the on/o button once more. When the E-Smart is turned o, none of the LEDs will
be on.
On the joystick are ten LEDs; three green LEDs, four oranje LEDs and three red LEDs. If all LEDs are on, the battery
level is 100%. Using the wheelchair will discharge the battery, causing the LEDs to go o one by one, to indicate the
declining battery level. If there are only a few of the red LEDs lit, the battery needs to be charged.
2. Sound signal
This button can be used to warn people that are in your way or otherwise unaware of your approach. Pressing this
button will trigger a beeping noise
3. Speed adjustment
With this button you can adjust the speed as desired. The button on the right increases speed, as indicated with
the higher number of bars on the button. The left button has less bars printed on it, indicating that this button
decreases speed. The LEDs show the current speed setting, showing the lowest speed as 1 LED and the highest
speed setting as 5 LEDs lighting up.

the armrests can be removed fully. Note: the controller is attached to the armrest. In case you want to remove the
whole armrest, rst disconnect the cable of the controller. Photos 7 and 8 show how to disconnect the two yellow
connectors of the cable.
6.3 The battery pack
The Excel E-Smart is equipped with a closed battery pack (2x 12V). Van Os Medical B.V. advises to fully charge the
battery pack for at least 12 uninterrupted hours before rst use.
To increase the lifespan of the battery pack, charge it as follows;
• Park your electric wheelchair as close to the outlet as possible;
• Switch o the controller;
• Plug in the charger at the charging point on the front of the controller. Daarnaast is er op de accu ook een
oplaadpunt; mogelijkheid om de plug hierop aan te sluiten;

6.4 The freewheel levers
The Excel E-Smart has two settings, namely ‘neutral’ and ‘drive’ (photo 13). The sticker next to the freewheel levers
indicate these two settings with a D for drive and an N for neutral. When you want to use the electric wheelchair,
these levers should always be set to the drive setting. The neutral or freewheel setting makes it possible to move
the wheelchair when the controller is o. When pushing the wheelchair forward in neutral, the motor will act as a
generator. To put the wheelchair into freewheel mode, push both levers up. To put it back into drive, push both
levers back down. This re-engages the electromagnetic brakes, making it impossible to move the wheelchair unless
it is turned on and controlled as normal.
6.5 The high-low system
The Excel E-Smart + is tted with a high-low system. This is an electrical system that makes it easier to access higher
objects like kitchen cabinets. On photo 15 you can see the Excel E-Smart + in the lowest position. By pressing the
button underneath the left side of the seat (photo 16). Photo 17 shows the highest position of the E-Smart +. You
can only drive the wheelchair when the seat is in the lowest position.
