Use the alcohol wipe (J) to clean a flat area on the wheelchair seat back.
Note: We recommend placing the LuciLink Hub in the upper left or upper right of the seat back
(Figure 12A). The LuciLink Hub may be placed anywhere on the seat back, as long as it does not
limit the range of motion of the seat, armrests, etc. (Figure 12B)
Remove the Velcro backing from the LuciLink Hub (B) back cover and aix it to the cleaned area,
so that the key is oriented as shown and the cable opening is at the bottom (Figures 12A and 12B).
Route the SmartFrame USB cable along existing cabling, zip tying it in place.
Note: If the wheelchair seat raises and lowersNote: If the wheelchair seat raises and lowers, raise the seat to its fullest extent and follow
existing cabling along the seat mechanism, zip tying it in place as needed. (Figures 13 and 14).

Lower the foot rest completely. Align the correct footplate (standard or
wide) template (H) on the right footplate (Figure 16) and tape it in place so
that it does not shift. Use a Phillips screwdriver to make pilot hole marks in
the footplate template to help with drilling the holes in the correct location.
Insert the drill bit (I) into your drill and drill three holes as indicated on the
template. Ensure the holes on the Scout (C) line up with the holes you
drilled.
Note: For extra wide footplates, use the wide footplate template, aligning
it in the inside, forward corner of the footplate.
Caution: Use a brush or vacuum to get rid of the metal shavings as these
are sharp!
Remove the front cover of the LuciLink Hub (B) using the Phillips
P1 screwdriver, to expose the USB outlets inside (Figure 15). Plug
the SmartFrame USB cable into the LuciLink Hub. If the cable is too
long (specifically for models with seats that do not raise), loop the
excess cable and zip tie it together, securing it to the wheelchair.
Caution: All cables should be installed, bundled and routed so
as to avoid damage to the cables through pinching, dragging, etc.
and to avoid excess cable length that could lead to entanglement
or strangulation.
Caution: If the driver typically uses backpacks or hangs otherCaution: If the driver typically uses backpacks or hangs other
bags o his/her wheelchair, suggest the user clip the Wheelchairbags o his/her wheelchair, suggest the user clip the Wheelchair
