1Power 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 owner’s 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 limited to
a sitting position that have the capability of operating a powered wheelchair both indoors and
outdoors. Power chairs with and without seat lift function can accept occupants with a maximum
weight of 155 kgs /340lbs and 182kgs/400lbs respectively.
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.
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; and on your owner’s manual:

2Safety 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
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’.
3Safety
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 a Magic Mobility wheelchair 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 an All-terrain 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
Be sure the power chair is not in freewheel mode (See section 5.3)
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.

Form 07A –Frontier V6, V4 and Extreme X8 Owner’s Manual ENGLISH.docx Revision No.4
© Magic Mobility Page 8 of 65
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. An ISO 7176-19 compliant system is available from Magic Mobility.
All Magic Mobility electric wheelchairs have been tested to and conform to the requirements of ISO
7176-19. The Frontier V6 Mid Wheel Drive and Extreme X8 also comply with the requirements of
ANRI/RESNA WC/19; further details of this are available on request.
For detailed information see Appendix A –ISO 7176-19
NOTE: ISO = International Organisation for Standardisation
WARNING! Whenever feasible, wheelchair users should transfer to the vehicle seat
and use vehicle manufacturer installed restraint system.
WARNING! The primary goal of ISO 7176-19 is to reduce the potential for injury to
wheelchair seated occupants in the event of a vehicle impact. Modifications or
additions to the wheelchair (changes to the frame, aftermarket cushions, harnesses)
may reduce its safety in a vehicle accident. If unsure of their effect, please consult a
suitably qualified professional for advice.
3.3 Weight Limitations
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 182 kg/400 lbs (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/400 lbs
Seat elevator or tilt fitted
155 kg/340 lbs
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.
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.
Given the off-road capabilities of the power chair, it may be capable of climbing and descending an
obstacle of up to 4”/100mm in height, however this can be vary greatly depending on the setup of
the wheelchair, weight distribution and the user’s ability.
WARNING! It is recommended that an attendant assists when attempting new
obstacles and whilst familiarising yourself with your new 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 any time 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.
Avoid potentially hazardous inclines e.g. areas covered with snow, ice, mud, cut grass, or wet
leaves.
As with all off-road 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.
Be aware that stopping distances increase when travelling down an incline.
WARNING! Always exercise extreme caution on inclines and follow the advice above
to reduce the risk of personal injury
3.9 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.
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 8 –1 in 14 Gradient

3.10 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.
3.11 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)
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
3.12 Electromagnetic Fields (further information is in Appendix B –Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI)
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
3.13 Positioning Belts
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 and correctly. Serious
personal injury may result if you fall from the power chair.

Form 07A –Frontier V6, V4 and Extreme X8 Owner’s Manual ENGLISH.docx Revision No.4
© Magic Mobility Page 14 of 65
3.14 Weather Precautions
Your power chair’s surface temperature may increase when exposed to heat sources – eg. Sunlight.
WARNING! Do not operate your power chair in icy or slippery conditions (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. Salted surfaces will
cause accelerated corrosion of your wheelchair.
3.15 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.
3.16 Prescription Drugs/Physical Limitations
Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or if you have
certain physical limitations.
WARNING! Some medications and limitations may impair your ability to operate
your power chair in a safe manner, possibly resulting in personal injury to yourself
and others.
3.17 Alcohol/Smoking
WARNING! Do not operate your power chair while you are under the influence of
alcohol, as this may impair your ability to operate your power chair in a safe manner,
resulting in personal injury to yourself and others.
WARNING! It is strongly recommended that you do not smoke cigarettes while
seated in your wheelchair. The power chair has passed the necessary flammability
requirements, but it is strongly advised to keep ashtrays at a safe distance from seat
cushions, to ensure cigarettes are completely extinguished before disposal, and we
strongly advise against leaving lit cigarettes unattended.
3.18 Trapping Hazards
Your power chair has numerous areas which may be trapping/pinching hazards. Always exercise
caution when using your power functions and avoid putting body parts or objects into the
mechanisms during operation. Serious personal injury will occur.

The wheelchair controls will not function and a message will appear on the screen “brake error”
when the chair is in free-wheel mode. This feature has been intentionally incorporated to protect the
user from unsafe situations. These levers are intended for use by the attendant.
Push the levers back up again firmly after manually positioning the chair. Turn the power off and on
again to remove the error message.
WARNING! Do not use your chair in freewheel mode or attempt to place your chair
into freewheel mode without an attendant present. You may cause injury to yourself
and to others. Do not place your power chair in freewheel mode while on an incline.
The chair could roll uncontrollably on its own, leading to injury to yourself and
others.
WARNING! THERE IS NO BRAKING ON THIS WHEELCHAIR WHEN IT IS IN FREEWHEEL MODE.
5.4 Electrical Safety Protection
Your wheelchair has a fuse fitted into the battery circuit to protect the motors and electronics from
an accidental current overload. In the case of a blown fuse, the chair will not drive and you will need
to contact your Magic Mobility dealer for repair / replacement
