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.

It is Observer Mobility’s position that Recreational Vehicle users are not transported
in vehicles of any kind while in Recreational Vehicles.
4. Weight Limitations
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 400 lbs (see table). Do
not carry passengers or heavy weights on any part of the Recreational Vehicle.
5. Stairs and Escalators
6. Transportation Products
If it is necessary to use a transportation product such as a hoist or lift,
Observer Mobility recommends that the manufacturer’s instructions and
specifications are closely reviewed before using that product.
7. Public Streets and Roadways

8. Stationary Obstacles: (Steps, Curbs, Etc.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected
ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, escalators, lifts etc). Always
approach an obstacle so both front wheels touch that obstacle together. Never
attempt to climb a curb or obstacle at an angle.
9. Climbing or Descending an Incline
When climbing an incline, try to keep your power chair moving; however do not use
excessive speed. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate cautiously.
If at anytime you feel uncomfortable, reduce your acceleration rate. When driving
down an incline, set your power chair to the slowest speed setting and drive in the
forward direction only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than
you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the
joystick. Once the chair has stopped push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a
safely controlled descent. The following advice is recommended for your safety:
* Do not drive at an angle up or down the face of the incline. Drive your power chair
straight up or down the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of tipping the
chair over. · Avoid potentially hazardous inclines e.g. areas covered with snow, ice,
mud, cut grass, or wet leaves.
* Avoid sudden stops and starts
* 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.
10. Maximum Recommended Incline
Most public access ramps have a maximum gradient 1 in 14 (AS1428.1). Therefore,
Observer 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.
11. Removable Parts
12. 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.
13. Electromagnetic Fields (more information is on page 10)
Your power chair’s performance may be influenced by electromagnetic fields caused
