The following procedure is valid for the recommended charger brand - consult your separate

charger instructions if supplied with an alternative charger.

1. Ensure the wheelchair is turned off.

2. Always make sure that the charger is turned off before plugging it into the wheelchair.

3. Plug the charger into the charging socket on the joystick module.

4. Please consult the instruction manual supplied with your charger for detailed instructions

The following advice is recommended to help care for your batteries:

 Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries.

 The wheelchair will require charging for 8 to 10 hours for a full charge. Charging the

batteries for short periods will shorten the life of the batteries.

 Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle if possible.

 If the power wheelchair is used every day then the batteries should be charged overnight

every night.

WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a

frozen battery. Doing so can result in personal injury and damage to the

battery

STOP! Do not put the charger on the seat of the wheelchair when charging as

the charger can become quite warm. Always put the charger on the floor near

the chair when in use.

To get the maximum range from your batteries:

 Fully charge the batteries prior to the trip

 Avoid stop-go driving; try to maintain a constant speed

 Try to avoid inclines

 Limit baggage weight carried

7.4 Public Transportation

The Gel Cell batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, allowing safe

transportation on aircraft, buses and trains. However, Magic Mobility recommends that any

specific requirements of the carrier are checked in advance. When flying with your

wheelchair, please call the airline for any specific information they need. Magic Mobility has a

“flying with your wheelchair” fact sheet on the website that covers most questions.

7.5 Battery Disposal and Recycling

If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, contact your Magic Mobility Dealer for

instructions on disposal. Your Magic Mobility Dealer will also have all the necessary

information on battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.

8 Care & Maintenance

Like any motorised vehicle, your power chair requires routine maintenance checks. You can

perform some of these checks, but it is recommended that every 12 months the chair is

inspected by a factory authorised service facility. Repairs or replacements should only be

carried out with manufacturer-approved components to assure proper performance (see 9

Servicing).
