When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the power chair in freewheel mode
while seated on it or standing next to it.
Never attempt to travel backwards down an incline.
WARNING! Always exercise extreme caution on inclines and follow the
advice above to reduce the risk of personal injury
3.8.1 Maximum Recommended Incline
Most public access ramps have a maximum gradient 1 in 14 (AS1428.1). Therefore, Magic
Mobility recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or
descend on your power chair does not exceed a 1 in 14 gradient.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 1 in 14
gradient may put your power chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip,
resulting in personal injury.

Removable Parts

removable parts. This may result in personal injury.
STOP! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable
parts. This may cause damage to the chair.
3.10 Cornering Information
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. If you feel that you
may tip over in a corner, immediately reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e. lessen the
sharpness of the turn)
The following advice is recommended for your safety:
Reduce cornering speed
Reduce steering angle
Beware of uneven, rough and slippery terrain
Avoid turning on inclined surfaces
Be aware of changing surfaces - such as passing from a paved area to a gravel area at
high speed while turning
Avoid abrupt directional changes.
