Leaving a few inches of slack near the rear Smart Frame, start running the new RNET
Extension Cable (D) and LUCI USB extension cable up through the cable guides. The bottom
actuator cable and USB cable should be on the left of the lower cable guide and the RNET
extension should be on the right side (Figure 4A). All the cables should move to the left side
of the cable guide levers after the first zip tie. Zip tie (AC) the cables at the original locations.
The top zip tie near the guide hinge holds just the cables together and is not tied to the lever
mechanism (Figure 4B). Feed the cables back through the fabric cable cover (Figure 4C). Zip
tie the cable bundle back into place (Figure 4C). Plug in the RNET cable to the same port the
old cable was unplugged from. Bundle and zip tie (AC) excess cable. The USB cable should exit
the bundle just as the bundle reaches the seat actuator (Figure 4D).

Regardless of the type of footplate, the Scout cable will be routed toward the back of the
wheelchair. Just below the calf pad, insert the Scout cable into the 3/16” Cable Clamp (AA)
exactly as shown to ensure proper orientation (Figure 10A). Using a 4mm Allen wrench, remove
the lower footplate mount screw on the left side. Place the #10 Washer (Z) onto the M5x16mm
Socket Head Screw (T), insert the screw into the Cable Clamp (AA) and attach it to the leg rest
in place of the screw that was removed, tightening with the 4mm Allen wrench (Figure 10B). Use
an Alcohol Wipe (O) to clean surfaces on the leg rest post (Figure 10C) and place Cable Clips
(AB) (Figure 10C).
10A
CABLE CLIP LOCATIONS
Note: Use an alcohol wipe to thoroughly clean the plastic before applying cable
clips. Cable clips need firm pressure to properly adhere, and may come o in the
first few minutes if moved too aggressively when putting cables into them.
Extend the leg rest completely and route the Scout cable through the Cable Clips (AB) and carefully
along a path to ensure the Scout cable does not get pinched. Route the cable along the leg rest, zip
tying (AC) the cable to the frame where possible (Figures 10D and 10E).
Caution: Ensure there is enough slack in the USB cable so that the seat and leg rest can move to
their full extent, without causing tension on the cable. Approximately 1/2” of slack in each direction
is ideal (Figure 10F).

The Scout works best when it is level with the ground or facing slighting upward. For the majority of
drivers the default Scout position will work well and this step can be skipped (Figure 10B1). However,
if the driver primarily drives with the footplate significantly raised or lowered, the Scout should be
adjusted to an orientation that is level with the ground, to ensure proper functioning and obstacle
detection.
The adjustable footplate bracket allows for variability in Scout orientation (Figure 10B2). If the driver
typically drives with the footplate pointing up, the Scout can be mounted at up to 30 degrees tilt
(Figure 10B3).
Caution: Do not mount the Scout facing downward, as this will cause it to see the ground as an
obstacle and inhibit forward motion (Figure 10B4). Note that the Scout should be checked with the
user seated, because the footplates tend to tilt downward with weight applied.
