Preventative Maintenance
Prior to using your wheelchair in wet or corrosive environments it is suggested that you protect your
wheelchair by thoroughly coating all metal surfaces with a water dispersant. Common products
include oiled-based spray applicants (e.g. WD40) or lanolin-based dispersants (e.g. Lanotec). This
coating should provide a barrier between the water and the painted steel surfaces of your power
chair.
A lubricant (such as a WD40) can be sprayed on the lift and tilt mechanism, if fitted, as protection.
The underside of the wheelchair (battery box and chassis components) can be sprayed by using a
ramp another standards-approved lifting device to enable access to these areas.
CRITICAL! Your wheelchair has electric motors and must NEVER be driven through
water, into rivers, creeks and the sea.
9.7 Storage
Store your Magic Mobility power chair in a warm dry environment. If you do not use your power
chair regularly, it is recommended that the batteries be charged at least once per week.
If you are storing your power chair for an extended period of time, please contact your Magic
Mobility Dealer who can give you advice on disconnecting the batteries and blocking up the power
chair to avoid flat-spotting the tyres
Exposing the wheelchair to excessive temperatures will affect the battery life. Avoid storing the
wheelchair in extreme warm and cold environments.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, wash your hands after touching.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in the batteries. Use only AGM or
gel-cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
9.8 Transportation
Always be sure your power chair and its components are properly secured when it is being
transported. Please contact your Magic Mobility Dealer for advice regarding transporting your
particular chair.
