Care and maintenance

Like any motorised vehicle, your powerchair requires routine maintenance checks. You can
perform some of these checks yourself, but it's recommended that your chair be inspected
at a factory authorised service facility. Repairs or replacements, including batteries and tyres,
should only be done using manufacturer-approved components to ensure optimal performance
(see Section 7.19). With the right care, your powerchair should give you many years of operation.
7.1 Tyre pressure
Under inflated tyres can leave them prone to puncture and decrease your powerchair's range. Over inflated
tyres can also be dangerous and cause tyres to explode which may result in injury. The maximum recommended
tyre pressure is also recorded on the sidewall of the tyre, however Magic Mobility's recommended maximum pressure
is shown in the chart below. Uneven tyre pressure can cause your powerchair to veer to one side.
Tyre pressure should be checked weekly. All pneumatic tyres are fitted with automotive type valves and can be
inflated using most typical automotive hand and foot pumps. Never use service station air outlets. Failure to use
the correct inflation pressure can result in reduced performance or negatively impact your safety.
Lower drive wheel tyre pressure will provide greater traction in mud and on looser surfaces such as gravel. When
driving on firmer surfaces, off-road tyre pressure may be increased according to the charts below and depending
upon user weight, preferences and driving capability.
