1 Power Wheelchair Owner’s Manual
Thank you for choosing a Magic Mobility Product. We are proud of the quality construction of
every chair we build. This owner’s manual explains the operation of your new chair. Please read
it carefully as it contains important safety, care and maintenance information.
Magic Mobility’s Power Wheelchair series may be custom made to measure and may vary in
detail from chair to chair however this owners manual should cover all basic features and
options. If your wheelchair has been customised especially for you, you can request additional
instructions.
Magic Mobility endeavours to supply a wide variety of features and options to meet the needs of
the user. However, final selection and specifications of the type of wheelchair to be used by any
individual rests solely with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making such
a selection. Magic Mobility can only stand by our performance specifications when genuine
Magic Mobility components have been used. When third party parts or assembly has taken
place, we strongly advise you seek additional instructions for use.
All of the information and specifications in this document are current at the time of printing.
However due to our policy of continual product improvements we reserve the right to make
changes at any time without notice. This may lead to slight variations between the illustrations
and explanations in this manual and the model you have purchased.
1.1 Intended Use
The intended use of a Magic Mobility Power Wheelchair is to provide mobility to persons with a
maximum weight of 182kgs (see section 3.3) limited to a sitting position that have the capability
of operating a powered wheelchair.
If you experience any problems with your power chair that you are unable to solve, or if you do
not feel capable of safely following any of the instructions and/or recommendations as
contained in this manual, please contact your Magic Mobility dealer. You will find the model
designation and serial number of the wheelchair on the base of the frame as shown below:
Magic Mobility is not liable for damage to property or personal injury arising out of unsafe use of
a power chair. Magic Mobility is also not liable for any property damage or personal injury
arising out of the failure of any person and/or user to following the instructions and
recommendations set forth in this manual.
2 Safety and Damage Warnings
Throughout this manual, you will find the following safety and damage warnings.
WARNING! This is a warning which, if ignored, may cause injury to yourself and
other people

Page 6
STOP! This is an instruction that, if not followed, may result in damage to your
Power chair. It means ‘do not do this’ or ‘do not let this happen’.
3 Safety
Please read and follow all instructions in this owner’s manual before attempting to operate your
power chair for the first time. If there is anything in this manual you do not understand, or if you
require additional assistance for setup, contact your Magic Mobility Dealer before operating the
wheelchair.
Buying the four wheel drive Extreme X8 opens up a whole new World and we are keen for you
to explore new possibilities. However, we strongly recommend that when learning your driving
capabilities, the capabilities of your wheelchairs and learning where potential hazards may be;
you always have someone with you as a 4WD buddy. They can help check out the terrain and
also help you if you need it. We always recommend carrying a mobile phone or GPS alert so
that you can reach help if you need it.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the power chair user will
need to practice operating the power chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained
attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting
a power chair user in various daily living activities.
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a qualified healthcare
professional has properly fitted the power chair to the user and the prescribing healthcare
professional has trained the user in the operation of the wheelchair, the dangers that can be
encountered, and has ensured that the user is capable of this.
Using your Magic Mobility product safely also depends upon your own good judgement and/or
common sense, as well as that of your provider, 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.
WARNING! If you are going to be stationary in your power chair for an extended
period of time, turn off the power. This will conserve battery power and remove
the chance of unexpected chair movement through inadvertent joystick contact
or from electromagnetic sources
3.1 Transfers
It is recommended that you have a trained attendant present while you learn to transfer. To
reduce the chance of injury:
Be sure the power is turned off (See section Error! Reference source not found. Error!
Reference source not found.)
Be sure the power chair is not in freewheel mode (See section 5.3 Freewheel Mode –
pushing the power chair)
Ensure footrests are swung away or removed
For side transfers ensure armrests and legrests are swung away or removed, position
yourself as far back as possible in the power chair seat to prevent the power chair from
tipping forward.

Page 7
WARNING! Avoid putting all your weight on either armrests or footrests. This
may cause the power chair to tip and cause injury
3.2 Motor Vehicle Transport
Wheelchair positioning belts are not designed with the intent of providing proper restraint during
motor vehicle transportation. A WC19 and ISO7176-19 compliant system is available from
Magic Mobility. More information is contained in section 5.9.
WARNING! Wheelchair users should be transferred into appropriate seating in
vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by
the auto industry.
3.3 Weight Limitations
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 182 kg (see table). Do not carry
passengers or heavy weights on any part of the wheelchair.
SEATING ARRANGEMENT
MAXIMUM USER WEIGHT
No seat elevator fitted
182 kg
Seat elevator or tilt fitted
155 kg
STOP! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in
damage to your power chair.
3.4 Stairs and Escalators
This power chair is not specifically designed to negotiate stairs but is able to do so only in cases
with low step heights and long step landings.
WARNING! Take great care using your power chair to negotiate stairs. Never
use your power chair to negotiate escalators. Always use an elevator or lift
where possible. You may cause injury to yourself and to others.
STOP! Trying to negotiate stairs or escalators may result in damage to your
power chair.
3.5 Transportation Products for your wheelchair
If it is necessary to use a transportation product such as a vehicle hoist or lift, Magic Mobility
recommends that the manufacturer’s instructions and specifications are closely reviewed before
using that product.

Page 8
3.6 Public Streets and Roadways
WARNING! You should not operate your power chair on public streets and
roadways. This is in accordance with local traffic laws, which vary by country.
Please check your local traffic laws. Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to
see you when you are seated on your power chair. Obey all local pedestrian
traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme
caution
3.7 Stationary Obstacles: (Steps, Kerbs, Etc.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or
drop-offs (kerbs, porches, stairs, escalators, lifts etc). Always approach an obstacle so both
front wheels touch that obstacle together. Never attempt to climb a kerb or obstacle at an angle.
See Figure 1 for details.
Figure 1 - Correct and Incorrect Approaches to Obstacles
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair climb or descend an
obstacle that is higher than 50mm unless you have the assistance of an
attendant. The power chair can be capable of climbing an obstacle of up to
100mm in height however this can be much lower depending on the setup of the
wheelchair. Never try to travel backwards down any step, kerb, or other
obstacle. This may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury.
STOP! Do not attempt to climb obstacles when the seat is reclined or elevated.
3.8 Climbing or Descending an Incline
When climbing an incline, try to keep your power chair moving; however do not use excessive
speed. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate cautiously. if at anytime you
feel uncomfortable, reduce your acceleration rate.
When driving down an incline, set your power chair to the slowest speed setting and drive in the
forward direction only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you
anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick. Once the
chair has stopped push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
The following advice is recommended for your safety:
Do not drive at an angle up or down the face of the incline. Drive your power chair straight
up or down the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of tipping the chair over.

Page 9
Avoid potentially hazardous inclines e.g. areas covered with snow, ice, mud, cut grass, or
wet leaves.
As with all four wheel driving adventures, you should always be sure that the terrain ahead
of you is clear of unexpected hazards. We advise that you have someone with you who can
check ahead for any hazards.
When exploring alone, proceed with extreme caution and we advise you always carry your
mobile phone or GPS alert so that you can reach help.
Avoid sudden stops and starts
When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the power chair in freewheel mode
while seated on it or standing next to it.
Never attempt to travel backwards down an incline.
WARNING! Always exercise extreme caution on inclines and follow the advice
above to reduce the risk of personal injury
3.8.1 Maximum Recommended Incline
Most public access ramps have a maximum gradient 1 in 14 (AS1428.1). Therefore, Magic
Mobility recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or
descend on your power chair does not exceed a 1 in 14 gradient.
Given the off-road capabilities of the power chair, inclines of up to 30° can potentially be
ascended depending on the setup of the wheelchair, weight distribution, and terrain conditions.
Extreme care must be taken when ascending any incline over a 1 in 14 gradient to ensure the
wheelchair is not driven in an unstable position.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 1 in 14
gradient may put your power chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip,
resulting in personal injury.
Figure 2 –1 in 14 Gradient
3.9 Removable Parts
STOP! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts
(armrests, legrest, backrest). This may result in personal injury and/or damage to
the chair.
3.10 Cornering Information
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. If you feel that you may
tip over in a corner, immediately reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e. lessen the
sharpness of the turn)

Page 10
The following advice is recommended for your safety:
Reduce cornering speed
Reduce steering angle
Beware of uneven, rough and slippery terrain
Avoid turning on inclined surfaces
Be aware of changing surfaces - such as passing from a paved area to a gravel area at high
speed while turning
Avoid abrupt directional changes.
WARNING! When cornering, lower your speed and follow the advice above to
reduce the risk of personal injury
3.11 Electromagnetic Fields (further information is in section 10.5)
Your power chair’s performance may be influenced by electromagnetic fields caused by mobile
telephones or other radiating devices, such as hand-held radios, radio and television stations,
wireless computer links, microwave sources, and pagers.
Your power chair may also be a source of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Be
aware that your power chair may affect the performance of alarm systems and other radiating
devices.
WARNING! Turn off your power chair when using products, which emit
electromagnetic fields. This will eliminate the possibility of unintended movement
caused by electromagnetic sources. Failure to take this precaution may result in
personal injury
3.12 Positioning Belts
Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle refer to section 3.2 Motor Vehicle
Transport.
It is the obligation of the purchasers, therapists and other healthcare professionals to determine
if a positioning belt is required to ensure the safe operation of this equipment by the user.
WARNING! Ensure your positioning belt is fastened securely. Serious personal
injury may result if you fall from the power chair.
3.13 Weather Precautions
WARNING! Do not operate your power chair in icy or slippery conditions or on
salted surfaces (i.e.; footpaths and roads). Such use may adversely affect the
performance and safety of your power chair, resulting in an accident and
personal injury.
3.14 Reaching and Bending
WARNING! Avoid bending, leaning, or reaching for objects while seated in the
wheelchair. If you have to pick them up from the floor we suggest you use a
specially designed “Pick up stick”. Movements such as these may cause your
power chair to tip, possibly resulting in personal injury.
