WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a
frozen battery. Doing so can result in personal injury and damage to the
battery
STOP! Do not put the charger on the seat of the wheelchair when charging as
the charger can become quite warm. Always put the charger on the floor near
the chair when in use.
To get the maximum range from your batteries:
Fully charge the batteries prior to the trip
Avoid stop-go driving; try to maintain a constant speed
Try to avoid inclines
Limit baggage weight carried

Public Transportation
The Gel Cell batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, allowing safe
transportation on aircraft, buses and trains. However, Magic Mobility recommends that any
specific requirements of the carrier are checked in advance.

Battery Disposal and Recycling
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, contact your Magic Mobility Dealer for
instructions on disposal. Your Magic Mobility Dealer will also have all the necessary
information on battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
8 Care & Maintenance
Like any motorised vehicle, your power chair requires routine maintenance checks. You can
perform some of these checks, but it is recommended that every 12 months the chair is
inspected by a factory authorised service facility. Repairs or replacements should only be
carried out with manufacturer-approved components to assure proper performance (see
section 9, Servicing).
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. Check the joystick operation and brakes
before using your power wheelchair. If there are any doubts or inconsistencies with your
wheelchair, please contact your Magic Mobility dealer
Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.
Keep the controller clean
Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures
Do not place the controller cable so it may be pinched in any of the seat or power base
frames
