1A
If the wheelchair is equipped with a seat elevator, raise
it to the highest setting to make installation easier; if
the wheelchair is equipped with tilt-only, tilt the seat
back to the farthest setting. Use a flathead screw-
driver to pull the plastic rivets out and remove the rear
cover (Figure 1B). Place the LUCI SmartFrame (A) on
the floor behind the wheelchair (Figure 1C). Remove
the rear battery cover by removing the two thumb
screws on the sides of the base (Figure 1D). Slide the
base cover out and set it aside (Figure 1E).

STEP 1 - PREPARE WHEELCHAIR BASE
Unplug the male RNET cable from the power module
(Figure 2A). Re-route the cable so that it exits the side
of the wheelchair base, gently pulling out about 6”
of slack cable. Loosely insert one M5 x 10mm flange
screw (N) into the LUCI Subframe on each side of the
wheelchair (Figure 2B). Slide the LUCI SmartFrame (A)
onto the wheelchair, lining up the front mounting holes
(Figure 2C). Clip the frame onto the stando (Figure
2D) on each side and insert an M5 x 10mm flange screw
(N). Tighten with a 3mm Allen wrench. Let the sides of
the LUCI SmartFrame (A) rest on the loosely inserted
screws to keep it up out of the way while connecting the
RNET cables (Figure 2E).

STEP 3 - CONNECT LUCI
Route the male RNET cable from LUCI through the side of the wheelchair (Figure 3A) and plug it
into the wheelchair power module. Reinstall the base cover, ensuring that the cover lines up prop-
erly at the front of the wheelchair (Figure 3B). The RNET cables should exit the cover through the
forwardmost opening and the spiral cable should exit through the rearmost opening (Figure 3C).
Reinstall the rear cover using the original thumbscrews (Figure 3D). Plug the male RNET cable
from the wheelchair into the female RNET cable on the LUCI SmartFrame.

With the LUCI SmartFrame still propped up, remove the wrapping from the cable bundle leading
from the base to the backrest of the wheelchair (Figure 4A). Use an alcohol wipe (K) to clean a flat
area on the left side of the rear cover on the back of the wheelchair. Remove the Velcro backing
from the LuciLink Hub (L) 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 (Figure 4B). Route the USB cable from the LUCI
SmartFrame toward the drag chain, leaving a few inches of slack at the bottom so that the cable is
not pulled when the unit is lifted for battery service (Figure 4C). Continue to route the USB cable
along the drag chain toward the LuciLink Hub (L), pressing it down into the drag chain (Figure 4D).
At the top of the drag chain where the cables exit, clip the original zip tie, add the USB cable to the
bundle, and zip tie (S) the bundle together (Figure 4E). Reinstall the wrapping from the drag chain
to the chair base and from the chair base to the back cover (Figure 4F).

Gently lift the back end of the LUCI SmartFrame (A) and remove the two screws that it was resting
on. Lower the LUCI SmartFrame into place (Figure 5A). The pins on the inside of the LUCI Smart-
Frame (A) should slide into the slots in the Luci Subframe (Figure 5B). Insert two M5 x 10mm flange
screws (N) in each side of the LUCI SmartFrame and tighten with a 3mm Allen wrench (Figure 5C).
Note: It may be necessary to push down slightly on the LUCI SmartFrame to seat the pins in the
slots.

Peel back the rubber on the footplate. Tear out the Footplate Drill Guide (C) along the perforated
lines that match the wheelchair’s footplate. Line it up as indicated on the template (left edge of the
right footplate for individual footplates or along the right edge and center curve for single footplate)
and tape it in place (Figure 6A). Drill the three holes with the 3/16” Drill Bit (M). Replace the rubber
and drill holes through it from the bottom of the footplate. Set the Scout on top of the footplate.
Choose screws of the appropriate length from the Scout Kit (B). Insert the panhead screw in the
front hole and two flathead screws into the rear holes (Figure 6B1 or 6B2). Hold the lower Scout
bracket against the bottom of the footplate (Figure 6C) and tighten all three screws. For individual
footplates, drill a hole on the inside edge of the right footplate (Figure 6D) and zip tie (S) the Scout
cable to the footplate.

STEP 7 - ROUTE SCOUT CABLE
Tools Required
- 3/16” Cable Clamp (Q)
- Alcohol Wipe (K)
- Adhesive Cable Clip (R)
- Zip Ties (S)
- 10mm Socket Wrench
- Flathead Screwdriver
- Zip Tie Cutter

Regardless of the type of footplate, the Scout cable will be routed toward the back of the
wheelchair. Begin by routing the cable toward the left side of the footplate center mount post
(Figure 7A). Fully extend the leg rest to prepare for cable routing (Figure 7B). Just below the calf
pad, insert the Scout cable into the 3/16” Cable Clamp (Q) exactly as shown to ensure proper
orientation (Figure 7C). Using a 10mm socket wrench, remove the upper footplate mounting bolt
on the center column. Insert the cable clamp and reinstall the bolt (Figure 7D). Zip tie (S) the
Scout cable to the leg rest bracket (Figure 7E). Clean the side of the leg actuator with an alcohol
wipe (K) and attach an adhesive cable clip (R). Route the Scout cable through the cable clip
(Figure 7E).
Note: Use an alcohol wipe (K) to thoroughly clean the plastic before applying the adhesive
cable clip. The cable clip needs firm pressure to properly adhere, and may come o in the first
few minutes if moved too aggressively when putting the cable into it.
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.
Zip tie (S) the Scout cable along the actuator wiring (Figure 7F). Use a zip tie cutter to trim the
zip tie tails. Tilt the seating assembly all the way back and open the existing cable clips with a
flathead screwdriver. Insert the Scout cable into the cable clips, routing it along existing cabling
toward the back of the wheelchair (Figure 7G). Close each cable clip by pushing on the outer
ridge until it clicks.
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.
Note: If the driver typically drives with the footplate raised, the Scout should be adjusted,
following the instructions in Step 7B.

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 7B1). 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 7B2). If the driver
typically drives with the footplate up, the Scout can be mounted at up to 30 degrees tilt (Figure 7B3).
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 7B4). Note that the Scout should be checked with the
user seated, because the footplates may tilt downward with weight applied.
