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’.
3 Safety
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.
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 assured themselves 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
yourself. To reduce the chance of injury, we recommend:
Be sure the power is turned off (See section 6.5.4)
Be sure the Power chair is not in freewheel mode (See section 5.3)
Ensure armrests and footrests 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
STOP! Avoid putting all your weight on either armrests or footrests. This may
damage their supports.
