POWERCHAIR OWNER’S MANUAL
Freedom to be you
We are so excited to see you embrace your independence and make the most of your challenges.
It won’t be long before your Magic Mobility powerchair is a part of you, and you’re pushing the
boundaries to see where life can take you.
There are a couple of things you need to remember about your Magic Mobility powerchair. Treat
your chair well, and we know it will reward you with discovery, freedom and the ability to be you.
Most of the time we’ll tell you to rewrite the rules of the world around you, but there are a few
rules about your chair that will keep you active and out there for the longest possible time.
We’re here to help
• We know that having a healthy, operational chair is crucial to you
• If you need help, repairs or parts always contact the agent where you brought your product
• A list of important contacts can be found on our website: www.magicmobility.com.au
02

Know your serial number
• You’ll find it on the base
• Make a note of it for future reference; a serial
number card is attached to your new chair for your
wallet or purse
• Quote your serial number when booking a repair,
service or reporting problems
• More information is in Section 2.1.
Warnings on water
• Never drive through water, into rivers, creeks or
the sea (that goes for showers and saunas too!)
• Your powerchair and joystick are not waterproof
• If your powerchair meets water, snow or mist,
allow to dry in a warm room
• Carry a plastic sleeve to cover your joystick
• Refer to Section 7 to learn more.
Safety is paramount
• Never travel alone when going off the grid.
• Always tell someone your plans
• Take your phone and use location apps
• Consider a set of puncture resistant tyre liners
for your knobby tyres and a spares kit for
emergencies (jack, wheel and tools)
• Refer to Section 3 to learn more.

Love your batteries
Your batteries are precious and expensive to replace.
• Fully charge them everyday
• Follow the run-in procedure
• If you need to store your chair for an extended period,
ensure that it’s fully charged and then recharged every
month
• Only use the supplied charger
• Refer to Section 6 to learn more.
Care for your chair
• Check your joystick daily
• Have your agent give your chair an annual check-up
• Maintain weekly and monthly checks which
are outlined in Section 7.16-7.17.
Maintain the right pressure
• The right tyre pressure will help you achieve
top performance
• Under inflated tyres result in more punctures, less
stability and range
• Over inflated tyres make for a rugged ride and
increase tyre wear and tear
• Lower tyre pressure provides better traction when
travelling off-road
• Refer to Sections 7.1-7.6 to learn more. Many people
are surprised by the low pressures required for great
off-road performance.

How does my powerchair measure up?
One of the most common questions we receive is “how big is my powerchair?”
and “how much does it weigh”?
All Magic Mobility powerchairs are made to measure, just for you, so it’s not always a straightforward answer.
But we’ll do our best to help.
Taking measurements
Please note that in some instances the seat width may be wider than the base. Depending on your footrest position,
the overall length of the powerchair may also vary. The instructions below will help you measure your chair.
Many hospitals have scales that can be used to weigh a powerchair. Alternatively, use the table overleaf to calculate
an approximate value.
Australia only
If you can visit Magic Mobility, we’ll gladly weigh and measure your powerchair.
If you are visually impaired, this document can be viewed in pdf format at
www.magicmobility.com.au
If the base is the widest, use the
dimensions in section 10.
If not, generally, the widest point is
across the armrests.
Raise the backrest to the highest
angle. Drive the powerchair until the
footplate just touches the wall.
Measure from the wall to the
furthest point.
Measure from the floor up to the top
of the headrest. Don’t forget that
when transporting, you can remove
the headrest and adjust the back
angle to reduce the dimension.
