Ensure footrests are swung away or removed
For side transfers ensure armrests and legrests 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
3.2 Motor Vehicle Transport
Wheelchair positioning belts are not designed with the intent of providing proper restraint
during motor vehicle transportation. A WC19 and ISO7176-19 compliant system is available
from Magic Mobility. More information is contained in section 5.7.
WARNING! Wheelchair users should be transferred into appropriate seating in
vehicles for transportation and use made of the restraints made available by
the auto industry.
3.3 Weight Limitations
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 182 kg (see table). Do not carry
passengers or heavy weights on any part of the wheelchair.
Seat elevator or tilt fitted
STOP! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in
damage to your power chair.
3.4 Stairs and Escalators
This power chair is not specifically designed to negotiate stairs but is able to do so only in
cases with low step heights and long step landings.
WARNING! Take great care using your power chair to negotiate stairs. Never
use your power chair to negotiate escalators. Always use an elevator or lift
where possible. You may cause injury to yourself and to others.
STOP! Trying to negotiate stairs or escalators may result in damage to your
power chair.
3.5 Transportation Products for your wheelchair
If it is necessary to use a transportation product such as a vehicle hoist or lift, Magic Mobility
recommends that the manufacturer’s instructions and specifications are closely reviewed
before using that product.
