5 Operating Instructions
5.1 Comfort adjustments
If your wheelchair was configured at your Magic Mobility Dealer, please consult your health care
professional before changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some adjustments may
degrade your wheelchair’s performance and safety by changing its centre of gravity.
5.2 Tilt in space seat function
The wheelchair has been designed to be tilted to different positions at times during the day to assist the
user in correct posture and for relief from the pressure of sitting in the one position.
The full benefit of the chair will not be achieved unless it is used in tilted positions at times during the day.
This wheelchair will only work properly when the user has been seated correctly.
When transferring the user into the chair the MOST IMPORTANT detail is to ensure that their buttocks and
lower back are as far back in the seat as possible and that their pelvis is centred on the seat. There should
be only a minimal gap (30mm) between the users back of knee and the front of the seat when sitting
correctly; if necessary lift the user out and re-seat them until this is achieved.
To assist staff in getting the user seated correctly tilt the chair at 45 degrees and
the user’s pelvis will slide back into the seat with minimal lifting. If the chair is
equipped with a seat belt this should be fastened firmly; as it forms part of the
postural support system.
The chair may be easily tilted by an attendant. Stand at the rear of the chair and
hold the push handle(s) on the backrest. In between the 2 rear wheels and just
near the attendant’s feet is a small foot pedal.
Depress the foot pedal gently with your foot and hold it down. Whilst the foot pedal
is held down the chair seat can be tilted to any angle. By releasing the foot pedal
the seat will be locked in position.
