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 judgment 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.
3.2
Motor Vehicle Transport
Wheelchair positioning belts were not designed with the intent of providing proper restraint
