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 

 

7.4  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. 

 

7.5  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
