8.6.2 Beach, salt water and Coastal Areas
Whilst the power chair has been designed to be used on the beach, salt water and the
surrounding environment is highly corrosive.
Exposure to coastal areas will also increase the likelihood of corrosion occurring on the power
chair even if it is not used on the beach. Coastal air generally has a far higher salt content than
inland areas. The highest coastal corrosion rates are generally within approximately 500 metres
(1640 ft) of the shoreline. If you live in a coastal area or regular use the wheelchair near the
beach please see section
8.6.4 Post-usage Cleaning below for maintenance advice.
8.6.3 Snow and Ice, Salted Roads and Footpaths
Avoid using the wheelchair on salted surfaces where possible as the salt can have a detrimental
effect on many of the components used in the wheelchair. If the wheelchair has been driven on
wet, icy or salted surfaces please see section
8.6.4 Post-usage Cleaning below for
maintenance advice.
8.6.4 Post-usage Cleaning
When the power chair has been used in coastal, wet or salty environments, we recommend that
extra cleaning care is taken to reduce the risk of rusting. When returning from your drive all
parts should be wiped down with warm water on a cloth. Under no circumstances should the
wheelchair be hosed down. The wheelchair should then be left in a warm and dry environment.
It may also help to blow as much of the sand and/or salt off as possible.
8.6.5 Preventative Maintenance
Prior to using your wheelchair in wet or corrosive environments it is suggested that you protect
your wheelchair by thoroughly coating all metal surfaces with a water dispersant. Common
products include oiled-based spray applicants (eg. WD40) or lanolin-based dispersants (eg.
Lanotec). This coating should provide a barrier between the water and the painted steel
surfaces of your power chair.
A lubricant (such as a WD40) can be sprayed on the lift and tilt mechanism, if fitted, as
protection.
The underside of the wheelchair (battery box and chassis components) can be sprayed by
using a ramp another standards-approved lifting device to enable access to these areas.
CRITICAL! Your wheelchair has electric motors and must NEVER be driven
through water, into rivers, creeks and the sea.
8.7 Storage
Store your Magic Mobility power chair in a warm dry environment. If you do not use your power
chair regularly, it is recommended that the batteries be charged at least once per week.
If you are storing your power chair for an extended period of time, please contact your Magic
Mobility Dealer who can give you advice on disconnecting the batteries and blocking up the
power chair to avoid flat-spotting the tyres
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds, wash your hands after touching.
