INTRODUCTION
1. 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 Recreational
Vehicle. 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 Recreational Vehicle, the dangers that can be
encountered and assured themselves that the user is capable of this. Using
your Observer 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. Observer 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.
2. 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.
3. Motor Vehicle Transport
Recreational Vehicle positioning belts were not designed with the intent of providing
proper restraint during motor vehicle transportation. The Department of
Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems with specific Recreational
Vehicles for transportation of a user while in a Recreational Vehicle, in a moving
vehicle of any type.
