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 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/364lbs(see section 3.3) limited to a sitting position that have the
capability of operating a powered wheelchair.
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 owners 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

Page 8
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.
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.
This wheelchair conforms with the requirements of ANRI/RESNA WC/19 and ISO7176-19. Magic
Mobility recommends that wheelchair users are NOT transported in vehicles of any kind while in
wheelchairs. The Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down system for
transportation of a user while in a wheelchair in a moving vehicle of any type. It is Magic Mobility’s
position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for
transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the auto industry.
For detailed information see Appendix A - ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol 1 –Section 19 & ISO7176-19
restraint system; if fitted
NOTE:
ANSI = American National Standards Institute
RESNA = Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America
ISO = International Organisation for Standardisation
The joystick controls may be customised and may be one of a number of different models depending
upon users requirements. This manual contains information on the standard joystick control.
WARNING! Wheelchair users should be transferred into appropriate seating in
vehicles for transportation and use 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/364 lbs (see table). Do not
carry passengers or heavy weights on any part of the wheelchair.
SEATING ARRANGEMENT

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. See Figure 1 for
details.
WARNING! It is recommended that an attendant assists when attempting new
obstacles and whilst familiarising yourself with your new wheelchair. The power chair
may be capable of climbing an obstacle of up to 4”/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.
