9 Servicing
Please contact your Magic Mobility Dealer to arrange your annual service. Your local
representative can also discuss the availability of loan (rental) units during repairs and
servicing. It should be noted that many of our power chairs are highly customised and a loan
(rental) chair may not be appropriate.
If you notice symptoms such as motor noise, frayed harnesses, damaged connectors,
uneven tyre wear, unusual motion or broken parts or anything else that may be a cause for
concern between services, please also contact your Magic Mobility Dealer immediately. If
required, Head Office can help you find your nearest Dealer (see section 12).
Set-Up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by individuals authorised by

STOP! If non-certified individuals perform any work on these units, the
warranty is void and damage to the equipment could occur.
Do not modify, or have your power chair modified in any way not authorised by Magic
Mobility. Unauthorised changes constitute remanufacturing of the wheelchair. The person or
group who make the changes will have full liability of the wheelchair under the Therapeutic
Goods Act (TGA).
