7.7 Tyre puncture repair
Tyre punctures can occur unfortunately. There are several
precautions you can take to minimise this likelihood:
•
Urban/hybrid tyres only - fit solid wheels, however,
be aware that this can give a harsher ride but won't
go flat
•
Off-road tyres only – fit the Magic Mobility puncture
resistant tyre liner kit (aramid fibre tyre liner +
sealant) which are less likely to puncture. Please
contact your Magic Mobility agent to have the kit
fitted to your current wheels. The liners can then be
switched into your new tyres when the time comes
•
Install tyre sealant into the tubes
•
Maintain correct tyre pressure and replace tyres
when they are badly worn or cracked.
Punctures can be repaired by your Magic Mobility
agent or most bicycle, ATV or car tyre outlets.
7.8 Tyre wear
Tyre life varies from months to years depending on
your daily use. To achieve the most from your tyres it's
important to have them correctly inflated. Always use
manufacturer recommended parts and replace tyres
when the tread pattern wears to less than 2mm deep
as tyres will start to lose safe traction and become
more prone to puncture.

7.9 Caring for the body kit
Your powerchair has a plastic body kit that can be easily
wiped clean with a damp soft cloth and mild detergent.
Never hose off or pressure clean your powerchair or
place it in direct contact with water.
7.10 Caring for upholstery
Your powerchair upholstery can be cleaned with mild
soap and water. It's important to always avoid water
transgressing into any electrical components. Never
use chemicals to clean a vinyl seat as this can cause the
seat to become slippery or dry out and crack. A general
purpose upholstery cleaner may be used on fabric
covered parts.
Upholstery life may be affected by skin oils,
sweat and certain medications. It's recommended
that you replace upholstery if it's cracked, torn or has
significant wear and tear. Worn fabric may increase
the potential for fire hazard. Be aware that washing
upholstery may also reduce the fabric's flame
retardation quality.
7.11 Caring for the joystick
Your powerchair joystick and boot can be cleaned using
a damp cloth with diluted detergent. The LCD screen can
be cleaned with a soft, lint free, dry cloth.
•
Never use Windex, scouring powder or solvent
based cleanser. This will scratch the screen and
remove the anti-glare coating
•
The joystick is NOT waterproof.
