STOP! Do not use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorised by Magic Mobility. This may void your warranty and cause damage to your power chair. 8.1 General Guidelines Do not expose your power chair to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, salt water, or wash). Such exposure can damage your power chair. Should your power wheelchair come into contact with water, dry as thoroughly as possible with a towel and then allow it to sit in a warm room for 10-12 hours to dry.
12 ½ x 2 ¼ pneumatic 200mm MCP Pneumatic Drive Tyres Castors 35 psi (241kPa) 36 psi (248kPa) (207 – 344 kPa) 30 – 40 psi (207 – 275 kPa) 36 psi 248 kPa OFFROAD V4 ALL TERRAIN Black, Low Pressure, Knobby Drive Tyres 250mm Pneumatic (All Terrain Model) Castors 3.6 psi (25 kPa) Also, see chart below 3.6 - 24 psi (25 – 165 kPa) 36 psi (248kPa) 36 psi 248 kPa Lower tyre pressures provide more traction in mud, sand and snow.
STOP! Over inflated tyres may cause the tyre to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tyre pressure is also listed on the sidewall of the tyre 8.3.2 Tyre Wear Tyre wear varies greatly depending on usage (from months to years), but no matter what sort of time your tyres last this is mostly governed by your typical daily requirements. To achieve the most from your tyres it is important to have them correctly inflated. Always use manufacturer recommended parts.
- After allowing adequate drying time, apply the touch-up paint ensuring that it covers all exposed areas. When dry, the area should now be protected from further corrosion. If is it not practical to perform the above steps, products that neutralise rust and prevent it from spreading can be used such as the many commercially available ‘rust converter’ products. 8.6.2 Beach, salt water and Coastal Areas Salt water and the surrounding environment is highly corrosive.
If you are storing your power chair for an extended period of time, please contact your Magic Mobility Dealer who can give you advice on disconnecting the batteries and blocking up the power chair to avoid flat-spotting the tyres WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, wash your hands after touching. WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in the batteries. Use only AGM or gel-cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions. 8.
Please contact your Magic Mobility Dealer to arrange your annual service. Your local representative can also discuss the availability of loan (rental) units during repairs and servicing. It should be noted that many of our power chairs are highly customised and a loan (rental) chair may not be appropriate.

The belt anchor points are shown in shown in Figure 1. The seatbelt is anchored over a 14mm spigot by an M8 (minimum grade 8.8) bolt. The pelvic belt restraint can be used in conjunction with a vehicle anchored shoulder belt with a standard lower anchorage connector as a crashworthy three point belt restraint in motor vehicles.
Figure 3 - Preferred and optimal zones for angles of pelvic belt restraints The belt restraint buckle of three point belt restraints must be placed in contact with the occupant’s body and away from wheelchair components Upper torso belt restraints should fit directly over, and in contact with, the middle of the shoulder.
Figure 5 - Illustration of proper routing an positioning of belt restraints on the wheelchair occupant Belt restraints should be adjusted as snugly as possible, consistent with user comfort.

Only spill proof batteries (e.g. gel-cell) should be installed on wheelchairs that are transported in motor vehicles.
For people who use heavy wheelchairs transportation in larger vehicles is recommended when the option exists The wheelchair should be inspected by a manufacturer’s representative before reuse following involvement in any type of collision Care should be taken when applying the occupant restraint to position the seatbelt buckle so that the release button will not be contacted by wheelchair components during a crash Page 35
Appendix B – Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources Powered Wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions.
or powered wheelchair movement which could result in serious injury. Do not operate hand held transceivers (transmitter-receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the powered wheelchair is turned ON. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair OFF as soon as it is safe to do so.
