Operating instructions

Using your Magic Mobility product safely depends upon your own good judgement and/or
common sense, as well as that of your caregiver, and/or health professional. Magic Mobility
is not responsible for injuries and/or damage resulting from any person's failure to follow the
warnings, cautions and instructions in this Owner's Manual or any of the documentation
supplied with the powerchair.

4.1 Adjustments

Performance and positioning adjustments to your
powerchair should only be made by healthcare
professionals, or by persons fully conversant with
both this process and the driver's capabilities.
Changing the performance settings could
adversely affect your powerchair. Some
adjustments may degrade your powerchair's
performance and safety by changing its centre of
gravity. You may cause injury to yourself and to others.
Consult your agent if you notice any change in your
ability to control the joystick or your chair or if you
find it increasingly difficult to hold your torso upright.

4.2 Armrests

Don't lift your powerchair by its armrests.
They may come loose or break.

4.3 Assignable button controls

It's possible to assign a function to an input
control (buttons, jacks) on your powerchair.
If controls have been assigned to perform a dual or
alternate function, ensure you know what aspect of your
chair each control operates. Please contact your agent
or Magic Mobility if you do not receive this information.
Failure to do so may result in damage and/or injury.

4.4 Batteries

Please refer to Section 6.

4.5 Cushions

Standard foam cushions and other body
supports are not designed for specific high-end
pressure relief. If you suffer from pressure sores, or are at
risk of developing them, you may need a special seating
system or device to control your posture. Consult your
healthcare professional to see if you need such a device.

4.6 Fasteners

Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on your
powerchair are special high-strength fasteners.
Use of improper fasteners may cause your chair to
fail. Only use fasteners specified by Magic Mobility.
If fasteners become loose, tighten them immediately.
Over or under tightened fasteners can cause damage
to your chair or its components.

4.7 Footrests

If footrests are set too low to the ground, they
may "hang up" on obstacles. This may cause the
chair to stop suddenly and tip forward. Increased height
will be required when negotiating kerbs and obstacles
(see Section 3.20).
4.8 Freewheel mode – pushing the powerchair
There's no braking on your powerchair when it's
in freewheel mode. Be sure to turn the power off
before disengaging the motor brakes.
