Performance adjustments
Performance adjustments to your power chair should only be made by professionals of the
healthcare field, or by persons fully conversant with both this process and the driver’s
capabilities.
WARNING! Changing the performance settings could adversely affect your
power chair. You may cause injury to yourself and to others.
STOP! Incorrect settings could cause damage to the chair and to surrounding
property.
5.2
Comfort adjustments
If your power chair 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 power chair’s performance and safety by changing its center of
gravity.
5.3
Freewheel Mode – pushing the power chair
The Extreme X8 is equipped with a manual freewheel system
enabling the electromagnetic brakes to be disengaged and the
power wheelchair to be maneuvered manually. To disengage the
built-in brakes simply pull the two levers as shown in figure 1.
The wheelchair controls will not function and the “status” light on
the joystick will flash when the chair is in free-wheel mode. This
feature has been intentionally incorporated to protect the user
from unsafe situations.
Don’t forget to push the levers back in again firmly after manually
positioning the chair.
WARNING! Do not use your chair in freewheel mode or attempt to place your
chair into freewheel mode without an attendant present. You may cause injury to
yourself and to others. Do not place your power chair in freewheel mode while
on an incline. The chair could roll uncontrollably on its own, leading to injury to
yourself and others.
WARNING! When the power wheelchair is in freewheel mode, the braking
system is disengaged.
5.4
Electrical Safety Protection
Your wheelchair has a fuse fitted into the battery circuit to protect the motors and electronics
from an accidental current overload. In the case of a blown fuse, the chair will not drive and you
will need to contact your Magic Mobility dealer for repair / replacement
5.5
Anti Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels, if fitted, are designed to give your power wheelchair increased stability.
Contact your Magic Mobility Specialist for more information if required.
