General Guidelines
Do not expose your power chair to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, salt water,

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

Some parts of the power wheelchair are susceptible to extremes of temperature. It is possible
for the batteries to freeze. The temperature at which the batteries freeze depends on a number
of factors including their chemical composition, the level of charge and their usage. At elevated
